Abstract
The above objects and advantages are provided for in improved archery bow sight assembly which provides a floating two-pin sight system for sighting a target. According to the invention, a sight assembly body having a forward portion and rear portion is attached directly to the bow. Pivotally attached to the front portion is a floating sight pin. Pivotally attached to the rear portion is a floating peep sight. Movement of the sight pin and peep sight is caused by a sight adjustment lever. Gear teeth on the sight adjustment lever are meshingly engaged with gear teeth on the peep sight arm. The gear teeth of the adjustment lever are indirectly engaged with the sight pin arm via idler gears. This arrangement allows the peep sight and sight pin to move in the same direction as the sight adjustment lever is manipulated. In use, the user views a target through the peep sight and, while maintaining visual contact with the target through the peep sight, intersects the peep sight with the sight pin by manipulation of the sight adjustment lever. Distance indicia located on the back outer wall of the rear portion identify the distance to the target when indicia are aligned with a peep sight.
