Archery bow sight
First Claim
1. An archery bow sight of the type that mounts on a bow above the handle and through which the archer views when holding the bow in a vertical shooting position and aiming at a target, the archery bow sight comprising:
- (a) a near frame in a plane perpendicular to the plane formed by the bow and the bowstring, the near frame containing a filament that is vertical when the bow is in the shooting position and a plurality of filaments that are horizontal when the bow is in the shooting position, the filaments being in the same plane as the near frame; and
(b) a far frame located farther away from the archer than the near frame when the bow is in the shooting position, the far frame being in a plane perpendicular to the plane formed by the bow and the bowstring, the far frame containing a filament that is vertical when the bow is in the shooting position and a plurality of filaments that are horizontal when the bow is in the shooting position, the filaments being in the same plane as the far frame, each filament in the far frame corresponding to a filament in the near frame to form a corresponding pair, the spaces between the horizontal filaments in the far frame being greater than the spaces between the horizontal filaments in the near frame, the filaments in the far frame located in a plane passing through the corresponding filament in the near frame and the eye of the archer so that each pair of corresponding filaments appear superimposed when the bow is in the shooting position, the intersection of the corresponding vertical filaments and each pair of corresponding horizontal filaments defining a sight for a target of a particular distance.

Abstract
An archery bow sight mounts to a bow at a point above the handle and arrow rest. The archery bow sight contains two frames located a short distance apart, a near frame and a far frame. Each frame contains a filament that is vertical when the bow is in the shooting position and a plurality of filaments that are horizontal when the bow is in the shooting position. Each filament is located in a plane perpendicular to the plane formed by the bow and bowstring. When the bow is in the shooting position, each filament in the far frame is located in a plane passing through the corresponding filament in the near frame and the eye of the archer. The intersection of the superimposed vertical filaments with each pair of corresponding superimposed horizontal filaments defines a sight for a target of a particular distance.

8. A method of shooting a bow and arrow at a target, the method comprising:
-
(a) holding a bow and arrow in a vertical shooting position while viewing the target through an archery bow sight mounted on the bow above the handle, the archery bow sight comprising; (i) a near frame in a plane perpendicular to the plane formed by the bow and the bowstring, the near frame containing a filament that is vertical when the bow is in the shooting position and a plurality of filaments that are horizontal when the bow is in the shooting position, the filaments being in the same plane as the near frame; and (ii) a far frame located farther away than the near frame when the bow is in the shooting position, the far frame being in a plane perpendicular to the plane formed by the bow and the bowstring, the far frame containing a filament that is vertical when the bow is in the shooting position and a plurality of filaments that are horizontal when the bow is in the shooting position, the filaments being in the same plane as the far frame, each filament in the far frame corresponding to a filament in the near frame to form a corresponding pair, the spaces between the horizontal filaments in the far frame being greater than the spaces between the horizontal filaments in the near frame, the filaments in the far frame located in a plane passing through the corresponding filament in the near frame and the eye so that each pair of corresponding filaments appear superimposed when the bow is in the shooting position, the intersection of the corresponding vertical filaments and each pair of corresponding horizontal filaments defining a sight for a target of a particular distance (b) choosing the appropriate pair of corresponding horizontal filaments for the distance of the target; (c) aligning the intersection of the vertical filaments and the appropriate pair of corresponding horizontal filaments on the target; and (d) releasing the arrow. - View Dependent Claims (9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
