Sight

A sight is the aiming aid on a bow, used primarily with recurve and compound bows to aim precisely at different distances.

Components:

  • Sight bar / extension
  • Elevation adjustment
  • Windage (side) adjustment
  • Sight pin / scope

The sight is adjusted up or down depending on the distance to compensate for the arrow’s parabolic flight path.
