Archery Sight Leveling Device Full Draw Assessment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Existing archery sight systems lack a method to assess the perpendicularity of the third axis relative to a user-defined reference at full draw, as current methods rely on static positions and do not account for the dynamics of the bow system when drawn.
Innovation Solution
An archery sight leveling device with a main body and sighting rod that can be securely mounted to the bow system, allowing the sighting rod to extend beyond the archery sight and align with an external vertical frame of reference, enabling assessment of the third axis at full draw angles.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Reliability
If a static position method is used to assess sight perpendicularity, then the assessment can be performed with simple equipment, but the method cannot account for the dynamics of the bow system at full draw
Solution Approach 1:
The device enables assessment of the third axis at full draw by allowing the bow to be drawn while maintaining the leveling device in place. The sighting rod remains fixed relative to the bow riser while the bow itself dynamically moves from static to full draw position, enabling measurement under actual shooting conditions rather than static conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The leveling device acts as an intermediary between the bow system and the external vertical frame of reference. It provides a stable mounting structure that can accommodate the dynamic movement of the bow while maintaining a consistent reference point for measurement, bridging the gap between static measurement tools and dynamic bow conditions.
2Measurement precision
If existing leveling devices are used, then the equipment is simple, but the results are not repeatable when accounting for bow dynamics at full draw
Solution Approach 1:
The device is specifically designed to work at full draw by allowing the bow to be drawn while maintaining the leveling device. The sighting rod is mounted to the bow riser and remains fixed relative to it, while the bow dynamically moves to full draw position, enabling consistent measurement under repeated full draw conditions.
Solution Approach 2:
The leveling device utilizes the bow's own structure and movement to provide the measurement reference. The bow riser serves as the mounting structure, and the bow's drawing action itself provides the dynamic condition being measured, eliminating the need for external support equipment.
3Adaptability or versatility
If a static mounting method is used, then the device structure is simple, but it cannot assess sight settings at all aspect angles including uphill or downhill
Solution Approach 1:
The device enables assessment at various aspect angles by allowing the bow to be drawn at different inclinations (uphill, downhill, level). The sighting rod remains fixed to the bow riser while the bow dynamically changes its angle relative to the external vertical frame, enabling measurement at multiple aspect angles without changing the device structure.
Solution Approach 2:
The leveling device is designed to work universally across different shooting conditions and aspect angles. The same basic structure can assess the third axis whether the bow is drawn level, uphill, or downhill, making it applicable to all aspect angles without requiring separate devices or complex adjustments.

AI summary
An archery sight leveling device for assessing the third axis of an archery sight of a bow system is provided. The bow system has at least one vertical reference. The archery sight leveling device comprises a main body with at least one rod receiving aperture formed through the main body. A sighting rod is receivable in the at least one rod receiving aperture with the sighting rod having a first end and a second end. A securing mechanism releasably secures the sighting rod in the at least one rod receiving aperture. A mounting mechanism mounts the main body to the bow system with the sighting rod being parallel to the bow string and the first end and the second end of the sighting rod extending beyond opposite sides of the archery sight. The first end and second end of the sighting rod are alignable to an external vertical frame of reference such that during full draw at an up or downward angle, the third axis of the archery sight aperture level is assessable thereby allowing offsetting of the bow system's dynamics at full draw versus the bow system at rest or static position.
