LOL,that is exactly why I brought it up.[:-]
Seriously,if you really think about it,it does make sense.If you are checking a third axis off a bar that is running at an angle to the arrow,the level is also turned slightly to the arrow so how would the level read accurate when you tilt the bow forward?
The only cure is to shim the sight bar,or buy a sight bar adjuster that will give you adjustment.There was someone making them over at Archerytalk a while back.
The way to check and see if the bar runs parallel with the arrow is to move the bar all the way forward and shoot at a spot and then move the bar back and shoot at the same spot.If the two arrows are not in a vertical line with each other,you need to shim the sight bar untill they hit on the same vertical line.This will only work,of course,if the 2nd axis is set.[&:]
