Default The wife

Bought a new site for her bow last week. A Cobra mini marksman. She loves it compared to the 2 painted pin site the bow came with, when I Ebay' d it 2-3 weeks ago.

Yesterday, I added a level to the site for her. Today on her 4th arrow, she took the nock right off and split one of her carbon arrows at 20 yards. Her first robinhood. She can now group!! She was all smiles.

Who shoots with a level and who doesn' t? My no-peep has a level



What do you guys do, when the wife starts to shoot better then you? Sabotage, for a day to humble her?[:-][X(]

I use a level on all of my bows. I have used levels for so long that I usually have the bow leveled before I check it.

I even check the level before I shoot live game! I guess some habits are hard to break.

All my sights have levels on them and i do check them.

As for what to do when the wife out shoots you well sit back and just enjoy.
Its the best way to keep them in the sport.

I have never shot with a level, but I have been thinking about getting one to see if it will improve accuracy.

I like to keep things simple, but if it greatly improves my accuracy Ill try it out.
But, if it is to much of a distraction, off it comes.

My sight has a level and I check it most of the time. Usually only when target shooting.
