Abstract

A bow sight and eye alignment assembly with phosphorescent fibers. The bow sight includes at least one sight pin mounted to a frame. At least one phosphorescent optical fiber is attached to the sight pin. At least a portion of the phosphorescent optical fiber is exposed to ambient light that is transmitted to a sight point on the sight pin. The eye alignment assembly includes a sight point of a phosphorescent optical fiber positioned a distance behind an alignment indicia on a lens. An adjustment system is provided to reposition the sight point of the eye alignment assembly relative to the alignment indicia on the lens. The eye alignment assembly preferably provides an indication of orientation of the user relative to the bow sight in at least two degrees of freedom.
