level on site
What does having a perfectly virticle bow every shot do for you? I've only been using a site with a level on it for 2 days now and i have to do more testing, but i think i get better groups when i just raise it up and let it naturally fall into the same location every time. When trying to use the level it seems like i keep going from level to pin to target to level ect and my shots aren't as good. Also i'm sure with more practice it'd become easier to get it level without checking the level so much, but in a hunting situation i wouldn't want to have to worry about whether or not my bow is perfectly verticle.

RE: level on site
I would first check to make sure the bubble on your site was indeed level mounted with your bow i noticed with one of my older bows it was off by about a 1/4 bubble, by standing my axels and then again my riser flat against a known level surface the bubble was indeed off this made me think that somewhere either the bubble placement on the sight or something on the bow was out of tolerance. It can really drive you nuts thinking that your cant is all well when your going by an errant bubble.

I think a consistant form is best. Some time ago when you shot someones gun they might say it pulls left. For him it was dead on, he knew where to aim. Same with archery. Set your pins right and shoot the same and you'll be fine. You can use the level to check and see if anything has moved though.
