The level is a reference no different than the pins. As long as you are consistent and your pins are adjusted to your style of shooting, you're good. Now, if you held your bow out of plumb/level differently each time, it'd make a big difference. No different than not holding your pin on target each time consistently.
I agree totally. I shot for years with metal pins and no bubble and had no problem killing critters. Now with a bubble on all my bows I find that I pay little attention to it. I think a consistent release, good anchor, and a non torquing grip will make you a better shot than paying attention to your bubble.... even out past 50 yards. :twocents:


Most Archers dont need a level to shoot well. Until they are shooting one a side hill, thats is when a bubble is worth its weight in gold because the sub conscious wants to level the bow to the ground.
That is true matt but dont we all shoot on level ground or from stands? :chuckle:
If we were supposed to be vegetarian God would have made broccoli more fun to shoot!
"HOYT" why would you even consider shooting something else?

As far as left and right handed... Some sites will work either way, others will not.. That is where a good bow shop comes in handy.. It may be a little more expensive than other places, but the SERVICE is awesome! If you've been around archery a long time you can probably reset/adjust everything on your own. A good bow shop has seen it all.  :twocents:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

Agreed. I DO look at it from time to time but only a reference to adjust my form by. When I'm shootin regularly and my form is darn good, I don't even look at it. If I'm basically level(level being level - bow being plumb)+ or - and  my form is good, just shoot the damn thing. If this were a rifle on a bench shooting distance, I'd put much more emphasis on it. It's not.
My Spot Hogg has a vertical wire(I like) that I've fine tuned my pins to. It's far easier to use the wire as a guide than the level simply because it's right in line with the pins and similar to a cross hair in a scope.
