Abstract
A bow sight including a mechanism that moves a sight element, while maintaining the alignment of an associated sight indicia with a substantially linear axis, by way of a simple adjustment of the mechanism. The adjustment mechanism can include a substantially curvilinear portion and an optional substantially linear portion, and associated projections guided by the curvilinear and linear portions, that move the sight indicia along a substantially linear, vertical axis. The curvilinear and linear portions can be slots, and the projections can be guided by the slots to move the indicia along the axis. Where there are multiple sight elements, multiple, unique adjustment mechanisms maintain each associated sight indicia in alignment with the axis while providing adjustment of the spacing between sight indicia. A method for tuning the bow sight is also provided, including, moving the sight indicia along a substantially linear axis and simultaneously rotating the sight element about the sight indicia.
