Abstract: A sighting arrangement for an archer's bow having a handle, a pair of limbs, an arrow seat, a ballistic string system including cams, mounted at an end of each limb and a peep sight incorporated in the string system. The arrangement includes a sight housing having spaced parallel outer horizontal and vertical sides, one of which includes means mounting the sight housing with the handle in position so that the vertical sides are substantially coplanar with a longitudinal axis of the handle. A sighting element is pivotally mounted by bearings provided in side walls of the housing so that the sighting element is pivotable relative to the handle so that it will always extend along true vertical regardless of the vertical angle of the bow when in shooting position. A sighting opening is formed also in the sighting element which includes traversing vertical and horizontal cross hairs.
