The third form of aiming is by use of a bow sight. Sincethe anchor is the rear sight, the bow sight is the front sight.The bow sight is a device with movable indicators thatregisters longitudinal and perpendicular movements; this isfitted to the back of the upper limb of the bow. The best andsimplest bow sight that I have ever seen is constructed froma strip of cellulose plastic 1/2 inch wide by 1/32 inch to 3/64inches thick by 5 inches long, to which a piece of felt, slightlynarrower, has been cemented. A light metal carriage is formedto fit this plastic strip with a sliding friction fit. The carriagecontains a pin or sighting bar that also has a sliding frictionfit. When this sight is cemented to the back of the bow, thearcher can get "elevation and windage." By trial and error, |
