Abstract
An illuminating device for archery aiming scopes uses a focused, concentrated light beam to illuminate both the aiming mark and level of the scope. The preferred light source is a high brightness, focused light emitting diode which is mounted so as to project a narrow beam of light down onto the aiming mark from a position above and outside the field of view of the scope. Illumination of the level is achieved by means of multiple reflections of the light beam between the lens and the level, with the result that the bubble of the level brightens when the bow is in the desired vertical orientation. The light source is powered by a battery pack which includes an on-off switch and brightness adjusting variable resistance.
