Copper John[TM] Has Dead Nuts Sight Covered

Copper John[TM] Corporation's new Dead Nuts C.U.P. (Cover Up your Pins) is a plastic molded flip cap that fits on the round pin guard on the company's Dead Nuts line of bowsights. The C.U.P. is designed so that it can be closed when moving through thick brush, keeping twigs and sticks from tangling in the sight guard and damaging the fiber-optic pins. When a shot presents itself the cap can be flipped open. And, since it can't be removed from the sight it will never be lost in the woods. Contact: Copper John Corp., 173 State St., Dept.
