Abstract
A rear bow sight includes a pair of spaced apart, parallel sighting line members mounted aft of the bow frame. When the shooter aims at a target, the bow is positioned so that the target appears between the sighting lines. The rear bow sight is adaptable for use in conjunction with different types of front bow sights, including front bow sights having a plurality of vertically spaced, horizontal pins. The sighting lines are used to position the bow so that respective sight beds of all of the pins appear between the sighting lines. When all of the sight beads of the front bow sight and the target are visible between the sighting line members, the bow is properly positioned for shooting at the target. A particular one of the forward sight beads is used to aim at the target depending upon the range to the target. The rear bow sight according to the present invention can be mounted on a cable guard or the like projecting rearwardly from the bow frame or, alternatively, a mounting plate can be used to mount the rear bow sight aft of the frame on bows without cable guards.
