Abstract
A cover is provided to protect the sight of an archery bow from distortion caused by falling precipitation, regardless of the horizontal position of the bow. The bow is provided with a sight having a lens; the sight is attached to the bow by a bracket. A cover is pivotally attached to the bracket, and includes an upper protective hood over the sight, and a lower counterweight. The counterweight is of sufficient weight so that the cover will pivot about the bracket as the bow is pivoted about a horizontal axis, or laid down, so the hood will maintain its protective position above the sight.
