Sight Level
 

The post about the level arrow rest got me to thinking. Does everyone shoot sights with a bubble level on them and if so do you level it for every shot. I do and I level it as close as possible before I squeeze one off that another reason its so nerve racking trying to focus on all those pins.

nope seems like too much to think about if you ask me

RE: Sight Level
 

mine has one on it and i do level it. i shoot a single pin so it doesn't get too confusing.

i shoot with one....i can tell immediatly weather or not im level without ever looking...i can just "feel" it...guess thats why we practice...so when its crunch time your mind and body can do what it did 100000 times before. but when i shoot when its not level, i know it...definently wont have a site without one

I'm kinda in the same group as mauser06. Having shot a lot of field shoots years ago and indoor target and 3D for the last 15 years I can feel whether the bow is level if I'm on fairly level terrain so rarelyever look at the level. If I'm shooting sidehills and/or up or downhill I'll take a glance at the level and correct as necessary, but it doesn't take long to do so nor do I dwell on the level itself.

I have sights with levels on my hunting bows also, but getting practical about it I don't use them.Most all my hunting is from treestands for Pa. whitetails ans shooting maybea maximum of 30 yards there just isn't any way to cant a bow hard enough to throw off the shot by much.

For that same reason I have no use for any kind of capture rest, too.

I got one on mine and I look at every once in awhile just to make sure i am still holding the bow level. maybe once every 30 or so shots while practicing and i practice at 60 yards

Absolutely. Canting your bow one way or the other can cause your shots to drift right and left.

You may not notice it much at close ranges, but start shooting farther out and you'll see a difference.

Shooting on uneven terrain is where its critical

I generally do not check the level. I tend to be pretty level. Now if I'm shooting indoor targets for a score and I'm not scoring like I should, I'll run through the basics and checking the level is one thing I'd reference.
