1. An archery bow sight comprising:
a mounting bracket including a proximal end and a distal end, the proximal end configured to mount to an archery bow riser, the distal end projecting forwardly of the proximal end;
a windage adjuster including an adjuster base joined with the distal end of the mounting bracket and an elongated arm selectively slidable within a cylindrical arm hole defined by the adjuster base, the elongated arm including a first end and a second end, a longitudinal axis extending therebetween, with an intermediate portion disposed between the first end and the second end, the second end being laterally moveable relative to the mounting bracket when the elongated arm selectively slides relative to the cylindrical arm hole in a direction parallel to the longitudinal axis, the elongated arm being cylindrical and defining a homing slot extending within the intermediate portion and aligned with the longitudinal axis;
a homing pin indexed within the homing slot and aligned with the longitudinal axis;
a sight housing joined with the second end of the elongated arm, distal from the mounting bracket; and
a sight pin disposed in the housing and visible to a user,
wherein the homing pin indexed within the homing slot prevents the sight housing from free spinning with the elongated arm in the cylindrical arm hole about the longitudinal axis,
wherein the cylindrical elongated arm slides within the cylindrical arm hole of the adjuster base so that the sight housing moves toward or away from the windage adjuster,
wherein the cylindrical arm hole is coextensive with a perimeter slot defined by the adjuster base, the homing pin being received simultaneously in the perimeter slot and in the homing slot,
wherein the homing pin is maintained in the perimeter slot with at least one of a capture fastener at last partially overlapping the homing pin and an adjustment control with a threaded shaft that presses the homing pin in the homing slot with the homing pin remaining stationary relative to the perimeter slot when the elongated arm slides in the cylindrical arm hole of the adjuster base.
