Abstract

A cross bow assembly that combines the use of a peep sight as a rear sight and the quick range finder as a front sight to quickly ascertain the appropriate target and distance without the aid of other devices. The device alleviates the need to use a separate range finder to find distance because it is incorporated into the front sight giving instant, accurate distances when sighting, saving time and improving the hunter's ability to make precise accurate shots quickly.

There is a hand grip 20. The rear sight 28 is comprised of a sight arm support 30 a sight arm 32, an adjustable block 34, and a peep sight 36. Also the rear sight 28 comprises a vertical peep slide frame 38, a vertical peep slide view hole 40 and a male dove tail 42.
  • FIG. 2 is a full front view of the vertical peep sight frame 38 showing the vertical peep slide view hole 40 and the adjustment holes 36.
  • FIG. 3 is an end view of vertical peep sight 38 showing a male dove tail 42.
  • FIG. 4 is a front view of the peep sight frame 38 featuring adjustment holes 44 and view hole 46.
  • FIG. 5 is a front view of the mounting plate 48 featuring a threaded mounting hole 50 and windage calibration markings 52.
  • FIG. 6 is an end view of the mounting plate 48 featuring a dove tail slot 54.
  • FIG. 7 is a side view of the mounting plate 48 featuring a female dove tail slot 56 for the peep sight frame 38.
  • FIG. 8 is a front view of the peep sight 58 featuring peep view slot hole 60.
  • FIG. 9 is an end view of peepsight frame 38 with threaded mounting holes 62 and the female dove tail 64 for the vertical peep slide 38.
  • FIG. 10 is a side view of peep sight frame 38 including elevation markings 66 and the male dove tail 68 for the mounting plate 48.
  • FIG. 11 is a side view of the front sight 4 including a fiber optic channel with tubing and the fiber optic channel in the range finder 6.
  • FIG. 12 is one embodiment for the front sight 4 with a sight pin bar 74, fiber optic channels 76, fixture holes 78, and fiber optic wrap tabs.
  • FIG. 13 is a side view of the front sight 4 featuring mounting holes 82 and fiber optic channels 84.
