Abstract:
1. A bow sight comprising: (a) a bow mounting plate having a horizontal clamp section; (b) a clamp bar movably connected to the bow mounting plate, the position of the clamp bar horizontally adjustable within the horizontal clamp section of the bow mounting plate, the clamp bar having a vertical clamp section; (c) a lens bracket movably connected to the clamp bar, the position of the lens bracket vertically adjustable within the vertical clamp section of the clamp bar; (d) a sight tube connected to the lens bracket, the sight tube having a partially reflective optical lens positioned in a line of sight for aiming of the bow sight at a target; (e) a plurality of fiber optic wave guides for collecting ambient light and for projecting at least a portion of the collected ambient light from a terminal end of each fiber optic wave guide; (f) a fiber optic holder assembly, the terminal ends of the plurality of fiber optic wave guides positioned in generally parallel orientation within the holder assembly, in a direction for projecting the at least a portion of the collected ambient light towards the partially reflective optical lens, the terminal ends of the plurality of fiber optic wave guides independently adjustable in a vertical direction within the holder assembly and collectively adjustable in a horizontal direction with the holder assembly as a whole; and (g) a fiber optic support beam connected to and extending from the sight tube to position and support the fiber optic holder assembly, the plurality of fiber optic wave guides positioned on and extending along the sides and edges of the support beam in a manner as to collect ambient light from multiple directions before terminating within the fiber optic holder assembly.
