Abstract: A combination cable guard and bow sight apparatus for a bow having both a bow string and cable provided thereon and comprising a substantially flat body adapted to be secured to the central portion of the bow and having a recess therein for receiving an elongated rod member. The rod member being arranged for extending from the bow in a direction toward the bow string and through a sufficiently great distance for engaging the cable and retaining the cable away from the plane of the bow string to preclude interference therebetween during use of the bow, the flat body being further provided with a plurality of elongated apertures, each aperture receiving a sight element therein for improving the aim of the archer using the bow thus providing a single implement which functions as both a cable guard and a bow sighting mechanism.
