nodog that was very interested reading and very well done however I have a question for you.
Have you ever shot 3D on a side hill?
I promise you this, in this instance a level can be invaluable. Oddly enough all targets I've seen set on a side hill usually have a heavily hit area down hill and away from the kill/10 ring zone! Most if not all archers tend to hold their bows perpendicular to the ground, thinking they are holding the bow level to earth or tend to cant it so it lines up with the leg of the target/animal when this is rarely if ever level to earth. Without a level you should cant your bow, top limb toward the hill and you'll actually be leveling your bow. If you have a level, and use it, you'll discover how hard you actually have to cant your bow into the hill....and hit the kill/10 ring zone every time.(with correct yardage and shot execution)
Diehard 3D shooters know this or have learned this.
In a hunting situation, the same holds true and can be invaluable. I will never own a sight without a level.
