Abstract:
A sight apparatus for an archery bow, comprising:a sight element positionable substantially adjacent the archery bow to provide a point of aim to a target;a pair of spaced apart bracketing pins;means for selectively moving at least one of the bracketing pins along an arc shaped travel path to vary the spacing of the bracketing pins so that one of the bracketing pins is alignable with an upper portion of the target and the other bracketing pin is alignable with a lower portion of the target so as to bracket the target and thereby determine the distance to the target, the arc shaped travel path of the bracketing pin being concentric with an axis of rotation and the axis of rotation being in alignment with the other bracketing pin and a line of sight of an individual when shooting the archery bow, the bracketing pin being radially adjustable relative to the axis of rotation so as to vary the arc shaped travel path of the bracketing pin to alter the spacing of the bracketing pins according to the size of the target; andmeans for moving the sight element in conjunction with the arced movement of the bracketing pin such that the sight element is positioned to provide a point of aim at the target when the bracketing pins are positioned to bracket the target.
