Archery bow sight
DCFirst Claim
1. An archery bow sight, comprising:
- a pin plate having a first side and a second side, a first end and a second end and defining at least one longitudinally extending aperture extending between said first side and said second side, said first side defining first and second longitudinally extending edges proximate and substantially parallel to said at least one longitudinally extending aperture;
a pin guard integrally formed with said pin plate extending from proximate said first end to said second end of said pin plate and defining a sight window between said pin plate and said pin guard, said sight window facing in substantially the same direction as said at least one longitudinally extending aperture;
first and second windage adjustment members integrally formed with said pin plate defining first and second windage adjustment apertures, respectively, said first and second windage adjustment apertures facing in substantially the same direction as said at least one longitudinally extending aperture;
at least one sight pin securable to said pin plate comprised of an elongate member having a front side and a back side, said back side defining a transversely extending slot, said elongate member further defining a bore extending between said first side and said second side said bore extending from said slot to said front side, said slot configured for engaging with said first and second longitudinally extending edges for maintaining said at least one sight pin in substantially perpendicular relationship to said longitudinally extending aperture; and
a fastener mechanism securable to said transversely extending bore of said at least one sight pin and said pin plate for securing said at least one sight pin to said pin plate.

Abstract
An archery sight for a bow comprises an integral pin plate, pin guard and windage adjustment structure. In a preferred embodiment, the pin plate is configured to maintain the sight pins in substantially parallel arrangement relative to one another. In another preferred embodiment, the pin plate defines a plurality of elongate apertures, each for securing a sight pin to the pin plate. Accordingly, the sight pins can pivot relative to the pin plate allowing for closer arrangement of the tips of the sight pins than would otherwise be allowable if the pins were maintained in a parallel relationship. In yet another preferred embodiment, the archery sight is comprised of an integrated pin plate, pin guard, and adjustable windage mechanism. In still another preferred embodiment, the archery sight comprises at least one two-headed sight pin preferably having sight heads of different widths. In yet another preferred embodiment, a support post on tab extends from the sight pin for supporting a portion of a fiber optic segment attached thereto.

11. An archery set, comprising:
-
a bow; a sight, comprising; an integrally formed pin plate, guard, and windage adjustment structure, said pin plate defining an elongate aperture therethrough and at least one abutment edge proximate to and substantially parallel with said elongate aperture, said pin plate and guard defining a sight window; at least one elongate member mountable to said pin plate proximate a first end, said at least one elongate member having at least one engaging surface formed thereon for engaging with said at least one abutment edge to orient said at least one elongate member substantially perpendicular to said abutment edge, and including a sight tip proximate a second end positioned to be viewable within said sight window; and a fastener mechanism securable relative to said at least one elongate member and said pin plate for securing said at least elongate member to said pin plate; and a mounting bracket securable to said windage adjustment structure for securing said sight to said bow. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21)

22. An archery sight, comprising;
-
a pin plate having a first side, a second side, a first end and a second end and defining at least one longitudinally extending aperture extending between said first side and said second side, said first side of said pin plate having a longitudinally extending recess extending along a substantial portion of said longitudinally extending aperture; at least one sight pin comprised of an elongate member having a raised portion configured to fit within said longitudinally extending recess for engaging with said longitudinally extending recess and maintaining said at least one sight pin substantially perpendicular to said pin plate; a pin guard integrally formed with said pin plate extending from proximate said first end to said second end of said pin plate and;
a windage adjustment device integrally formed with said pin guard.
