Abstract
An adjustable bow sight assembly (10) includes a mounting plate (16) extending between first and second ends (18,20). End caps (24,26) include longitudinal channels (28) for receiving the ends (18,20) in sliding engagement therein. Each of the end caps (24,26) also include a transverse aperture (44) therethrough to receive a sight bar (40,42) slidably therein. An adjustment mechanism (70) including a rack gear (80) on the end cap (24) and a spur gear (82) mounted to the plate (16) allow for selective adjustment of the end cap (24) in a vertical direction while maintaining the sight bar (40) in a fixed horizontal direction. A lever (72) is fixed to the spur gear (82) and pivotally connected to the plate (16) for rotating the gear (82) and translating the end cap (24) in the vertical direction.
