A serve-less peep sight is configured for use with an archery bow with bowstring fibers. The fibers are separated into two groups that diverge at an upper junction and converge at a lower junction. The peep sight is installed with the bowstring fibers extending around an upper portion and a lower portion and with the fibers crossing within a transverse channel. The peep sight is locked in place when the bowstring is under tension without the need to use serving material.

An archery bow adjuster includes first and second adjuster portions. The first portion is configured to mount to one of a bowstring and a cable. The second portion is configured to mount to the one of the bowstring and the cable. The first portion is rotatable relative to the second portion to adjust a length of the one of the bowstring and the cable of an archery bow.

Flexible string dampers can include resilient bodies configured to be inserted between strands of a bowstring or cable in archery equipment. The dampers can include openings or recesses in along their longitudinal or transverse axes to provide additional flexibility and vibration dampening. Accessories and inserts can be added to the bowstring by positioning them within the openings or recesses, and the accessories and inserts can be exchanged from the bowstring without removing the damper and without needing external equipment such as a bow press to reduce tension on the string or cable. A damper can also be used as a peep sight with a central opening configured to change in width in response to changes in tension in the strands holding it in place.

A method of aiming an archery bow includes the steps of providing a nose button which comprises a longitudinal axis, first and second split rings spaced apart along the longitudinal axis, a plurality of connecting beams spanning between the split rings, and with the second split ring further comprising a radial array of projections with tips residing in a plane perpendicular to the longitudinal axis. With the bowstring drawn, nose button presents one from among its radial array of projections to contact a point on an archer's nose. The button is secured to the string by depositing a cord between the split rings and looping the cord around the bowstring. A gap defined by two adjacent but spaced apart connecting beams and the first and second split rings defines an aperture within which the cord contacts the bowstring with its loops transverse to the axis of the bowstring.

Viewfinder for bow strings, aimed to be connected to a bow string such that a user may look through it and obtain a precise shot, which comprises an elongated body with a through-hole defined between a front side and a rear side, wherein the hole further comprises a first sector, a second sector and a third sector, designed to prevent the reflections produced inside the hole by the light beams hitting it from the exterior from propagating to the user.

This bow constrictor allows a peep sight or other device to be easily served in to a bowstring or bow cable without the expense and time-consuming services of a professional. A user simply splits the bowstring strands then inserts the bowstring constrictor with an associated device, guiding the bowstring through the grooves of the constrictor. The grooves couple the constrictor tightly to the bowstring applying minimal stress with minimal resultant wear. The attachment mechanism may be incorporated as a single unit into peep sights, knotting devices, cable weights or other devices of use to an archer or bow hunter. An independent, standalone version may also be used to spread and then constrict cable strands to support other items. Though designed to meet the needs of an archer or bow hunter with regard to a bowstring or bow cable, the described mechanism is scalable for other uses as well.

An archery string having a length, a first load-bearing path, a second load-bearing path, and at least one binding. The first and second load-bearing paths are laterally spaced apart relative to each other along the length, and the binding holds the first and second load-bearing paths substantially parallel to each other along at least a portion of the length of the string. Portions of the string are not bound to each other but remain parallel and positioned side-by-side. When the length of the string changes due to elongation, stretching, or contraction, the load-bearing paths do not helically twist relative to each other and remain parallel and side-by-side.

A peep sight for an archery bow includes a peep sight body with a sight aperture extending therethrough. The sight aperture has an inner surface to create a sight window with a central axis. A rear sight post is located in the sight aperture for alignment with a sight pin or the like of a front sight mounted to the riser of a bow. The rear sight post has a width sufficiently wide to ensure at least a portion of the rear sight post is viewable when in the aiming position in close proximity to the eye yet on the other hand, yet sufficiently narrow to allow ambient light to illuminate the sides of the sight post.

The archery apparatus constrictor allows a peep sight or other device to be easily served into a bowstring or bow cable without requiring a professional. A user simply splits the bowstring or bow cable strands then inserts the archery apparatus with an associated device, guiding the bowstring in a channel alongside the apparatus. The offset pegs couple the constrictor tightly to the bowstring or bow cable applying minimal stress with minimal resultant wear. The attachment mechanism may be incorporated as a single unit into peep sights, knotting devices, cable weights or other devices of use to an archer or bow hunter. A standalone version may also be used to spread and then constrict cable strands to support other items. Though designed to meet the needs of an archer or bow hunter with regard to a bowstring or bow cable, the described mechanism is scalable for other uses as well.

A shooting sports sight apparatus to inhibit unwanted stray light of an observable scene. An example apparatus comprises a sight housing having a first end, a second end, an outer surface, and an inner surface. At least one concentric ring is positioned between the first end and the second end. At least one annular groove is defined between the first end of the sight housing and the concentric ring. The concentric ring provides a surface for stray light photons entering the first end of the sight housing to bounce in directions generally away from the line of sight into the annular groove, thereby inhibiting the stray light photons from entering field of regard (FOR) photons reaching the aft end of the sight housing which make up the observable scene where the second end has means for changing the baffle aperture diameter forming the final light baffle of the baffle assembly.
