Abstract
An adjustable sight for use on archery bows consisting of monofilament line which is threaded through a circular frame so as to form a diameter of said frame. This monofilament line, on which is attached an aiming point, slides inside a groove cut into the outside surface of the frame, halfway around, and is secured to both ends of a T-shaped piece. The top of the T-shaped piece rides in the groove and is flush with the outside of the frame. The protruding base of the piece fits into a small slot on the side of a separate circular rotating cap so that this rotating cap can be fitted over the front of the frame so as to cover the grooved portion. A rotation of this rotating cap causes the monofilament line to move, thereby moving the attached aiming point and providing a range adjustment. The speed and accuracy with which this adjustment can be made provides a definite advantage for the archer. The frame is movably mounted onto a bracket on the bow by two bolts protruding from the side of the frame such that the monofilament line is in the line of sight of the archer when he is in position to shoot and the horizontal distance between the frame and the bow can be adjusted, thereby varying the distance between the monofilament line and the bow and providing a sideways or windage adjustment in the sight.
