| The archery industry is experiencing a true revolution with the introduction
of the rear bow sight. Archers all across America are discovering
the many benefits of using a rear bow sight for hunting and target shooting
applications. Archery enthusiasts and novices alike are at the cutting
edge of techonolgy using the rear bow sight with exact accuracy with little
or no practice.
Inventor
David Giddens of Apalachicola, Florida, designed and built the first rear
bow sight prototype in 1987 in his garage. The idea started very
simply, as many useful products do, as a basic concept to improve distance
and accuracy while target shooting. Several trial and error prototypes,
machine shops and patent attorneys later brought the current product to
the archery market. Today, FOLLOW-THRU, LLC.,REAR BOW SIGHT markets
this proprietary product to archers for existing and new bows.
Working
in conjunction with front sights, the follow-thru rear bow sight is manufactured
out of light weight aluminum alloy with a black anodized finish.
Bow hunters appreciate the reduced weight in the field, as well as the
benefit of no shine and camo blending.
Installation takes 5 minutes with two screws and an allen wrench provided
in the package. When mounted, the bow looks unique, as though it
has sights extending from both sides of the riser.
Aiming
is accomplished by placing the Follow-Thru pin on the pin of the front
sight, thus giving a rifle sight aiming affect that allows two reference
points away from the shooter's eyes. It helps eliminate the errors
that can occur, as a reference point gets closer to one's eyes. With
the old conventional peep sight, this can occur if the pin is not centered
in the circle.
Being able to acquire the vitals on a sight pin quickly in low light,
may make the difference in getting a shot at a trophy or passing up a chance
of a lifetime. This is one of the most important benefits of the
Follow-Thru. By not having an enclosed sighting mechanism, like a
peep sight, you can extend your shooting time, as well as lock onto your
target, much like the open sights of a rifle. Tests have confirmed
that acquiring a target is much quicker in low-light circumstances, especially
in heavy canopy woods.
The glowing reference pin helps significantly in the line up.
The
pin guard on the Follow-Thru acts as a string stop. This will allow
the arrow to leave at the same point independent of your anchor point,
nock type or release you use. The stop will also aid in suppressing
string vibration and will not affect arrow speed.
The reference pin also enables the archer to extend the yardage of the
pins on the front sight. The twenty (20) yard pin will be more effective
from a range of 8 to about 28 yards by placing the reference pin above
and below it. This will aid in eliminating the number of pins needed
on a multiple pin sight, as well as confusion as to which pin to use.
With alternate yardage settings off a single pin, archers benefit by having
the sight field condensed.
Having a firm grip on the brace, allows aiming after the string is released,
thus creating the Follow-Thru concept. By eliminating the need for
an anchor point, one essentially eliminates the need for a peep sight.
The real advantage here is faster target acquisition, especially on moving
targets.
New technology in the archery industry is moving faster than greased
lightning, or at least as fast as a speeding arrow. Who would have
ever dreamed that today we can essentially convert our bows into guns with
accuracy to shoot 6 inch balloons at 100 yards.
