Default RE: Leveling a sight...

ORIGINAL: dandbuck

I'm gonna step out on a limb here, but who cares right? Who actually uses that tiny little level? In a hunting situation, are you really looking at that tiny thing to determine level? I mean,at 25yrds, how far off can you be if you "guess" level by holding your bow what you think feels and looks level? Maybe I'm missing something here, but I really don't see the point in that tiny level at all. If my sight did not have it, it would not matter to me at all.

I tend to agree that shooting a deer from 25 yards in a hunting situation that the level is irrelevant BUT I look at it when coming to anchor just as I do everytime I shoot my bow.It is part of my shot sequence.On a deer,I may not take the extra time to make sure it is perfect but I do look at it.I am talking about milliseconds here.


I do believe they are a valuable asset to a bow andare quite valuable in the tuning process and will help an archer/hunter become much more efficient with his or her equipiment.


Once you learn to draw level,you will be much closer to level everytime you draw the bow,even in a hunting situation.



I agree with the rest about the sight in question.You could easily shim it and get it right but it is a new,fairly expensive sight and I would want it as close to perfect as I could get.
