Default Question About Leveling a Sight

I got a CJ Dead Nuts today and it makes the first sight I have ever owned that required leveling. Can someone fill me in on the proper way to do that?

Thanks!

I would amagine you are talking about setting your third axis

install the sight on the bow
what you do is barley loosen the screws on the pivot screw and the stationery screw.
find a door that is plumb at the jam end and set the upper and lower limbs on the jam this way you know your bow is setting plumb then simply set the third axis until the bubble reads level then tighten the screws back up.
Clear as mud?[8D]

The way Bigpapa mentions will work on the dead nuts. Correct me if I'm wrong, but that is not 3rd axis leveling.

NUB
you are wrong now you have been corrected

and this method will work on any target sight that has a third axis
only thing is if you are using a threaded pin will require a torpedo level.

this is the cheapest and easiest way to level your third axis to your bow

now if you want to get out your wallet and buy a leveling block hey that is OK by me but the way I mentioned is as accurate and works just as good.
