Abstract:
1. A method of producing a support structure for an optical fiber in an archery sight that includes at least one sight pin, the sight pin including a generally elongated sight pin body component and a tube-like part having a first and second end, the elongated sight pin body component having an outer portion that includes an opening for the optical fiber, the method comprising: inserting the first end of the tube-like part into the outer portion of the elongated sight pin body component, the tube-like part having an outer diameter that is smaller than an inner diameter of the opening and an inner diameter larger than the optical fiber it can contain; and applying sufficient pressure to the outer portion to bend it and the tube-like part inside it, producing one or more bends in the outer portion and the tube-like part, the bends being sufficient to limit movement of the tube-like part within the opening.
