Multi-axis bow sight

1. A bow sight that decouples the shooter's bow cant from elevation and windage adjustments, the bow sight comprising:

a segmented support assembly comprising;

a proximal portion that is adapted to attach to the bow, the proximal portion comprising a Y-axis;

an intermediate portion rotatably attached to the proximal portion and adapted to rotate around the Y-axis relative to the proximal portion;

a distal portion pivotally attached to the intermediate portion and adapted to pivot around a Z-axis relative to the intermediate portion;

a first micro-adjust adapted to control the rotational position around the Y-axis of the intermediate portion relative to the proximal portion;

a second micro-adjust adapted to control the pivotal position around the Z-axis of the distal portion around the intermediate portion;

an adjustable elevation assembly and an adjustable windage assembly attached to the distal portion; and

a bezel assembly attached to the elevation and windage assemblies, wherein the elevation assembly is adapted to move the bezel assembly along a substantially vertical axis and the windage assembly is adapted to move the bezel assembly along a substantially horizontal axis while the bow is held at a bow cant greater than zero, wherein the first micro-adjust decouples the shooter's bow cant from operation of the elevation assembly and the windage assembly.

2. The bow sight of claim 1 wherein the first micro-adjust is adapted to provide an adjustment of +/−15 degrees relative to horizontal.

3. The bow sight of claim 1 wherein the first micro-adjust comprises:

a threaded traveler;

a lead screw parallel to the X-axis and engaged with the threaded traveler, the lead screw located offset from an axis of a pivot pin attaching the intermediate portion to the proximal portion; and

a knob attached to the lead screw.

4. The bow sight of claim 3 comprising:

a plurality of detents on the lead screw; and

a member biases into engagement with the detents.

5. The bow sight of claim 1 wherein the second micro-adjust comprises:

a threaded traveler;

a lead screw parallel to the X-axis and engaged with the threaded traveler, the lead screw located offset from an axis of a pivot pin attaching the distal portion to the intermediate portion; and

a knob attached to the lead screw.

6. The bow sight of claim 1 comprising set screws adapted to secure the first and second micro-adjusts.

7. The bow sight of claim 1 wherein the elevation assembly comprises an elevation micro-adjust and the windage assembly comprises a windage micro-adjust.

8. The bow sight of claim 1 wherein the windage assembly is attached to the distal portion and the elevation assembly is attached to the windage adjustment.

9. The bow sight of claim 1 comprising:

an opening in the bezel extending toward a sighting device located in the opening bezel; and

a light assembly adapted to releasably engage with the opening to direct light toward the sighting device.

10. The bow sight of claim 1 comprising:

a level assembly adapted to engage with a curved surface on the bezel; and

set screws on the bezel adapted to shift the level assembly along the curved surface.

11. A bow sight that decouples the shooter's bow cant from elevation adjustments, the bow sight comprising:

a segmented support assembly comprising;

a proximal portion that is adapted to attach to the bow, the proximal portion comprising a Y-axis;

a distal portion rotatably attached to the proximal portion and adapted to rotate around the Y-axis relative to the proximal portion;

a micro-adjust adapted to control the rotational position around the Y-axis of the distal portion relative to the proximal portion;

a windage assembly attached to the distal portion, the windage assembly including a windage micro-adjust; and

a bezel assembly attached to the windage assembly, wherein the windage micro-adjust is adapted to move the bezel assembly along a substantially horizontal axis while the bow is held at a bow cant greater than zero, wherein the micro-adjust decouples the shooter's bow cant from operation of the windage assembly.

12. The bow sight of claim 11 wherein the micro-adjust is adapted to provide an adjustment of +/−15 degrees relative to horizontal.

13. The bow sight of claim 11 wherein the micro-adjust comprises:

a threaded traveler;

a lead screw parallel to the X-axis and engaged with the threaded traveler, the lead screw located offset from an axis of a pivot pin attaching the intermediate portion to the proximal portion; and

a knob attached to the lead screw.

14. The bow sight of claim 13 comprising:

a plurality of detents on the lead screw; and

a member biases into engagement with the detents.

15. The bow sight of claim 1 comprising an adjustable elevation assembly interposed between the distal portion and the windage assembly.

16. A method of adjusting a bow sight for a shooter's bow cant, the method comprising the steps of:

attaching a proximal portion of a segmented support assembly to the bow, the proximal portion including a Y-axis;

holding the bow at the shooter's bow cant;

operating a micro-adjust to rotate a distal portion of the segmented support assembly around the Y-axis relative to the proximal portion until a bezel is substantially horizontal; and

operating an elevation adjustment on an elevation assembly attached to the distal portion to move the bezel assembly along a substantially vertical axis while the bow is held at the shooter's bow cant, wherein the micro-adjust decouples the shooter's bow cant from operation of the elevation assembly.

17. The method of claim 16 comprising the step of operating an elevation micro-adjust on the elevation assembly.

18. The method of claim 16 comprising the step of operating a windage micro-adjust on a windage assembly interposed between the distal portion and the elevation assembly.

19. The method of claim 16 wherein the step of operating a micro-adjust comprises the steps of:

rotating a lead screw;

displacing a threaded traveler along a length of the lead screw; and

engaging a series of detents on a lead screw.
