Bow sight leveling device

Abstract

Improved bow sight leveling devices are described herein. One example device includes a level vial and a threaded member, wherein an axis of the level vial is parallel to an axis of the threaded member.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A device for leveling a bow sight, comprising:
 a level vial; and   a threaded member, wherein an axis of the level vial is parallel to an axis of the threaded member.   
     
     
         2 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the threaded member is coaxial with the level vial. 
     
     
         3 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the threaded member includes threads of a unified fine pitch. 
     
     
         4 . The device of  claim 3 , wherein the threaded member has a pitch of 24 threads per inch. 
     
     
         5 . The device of  claim 4 , wherein a major diameter of the threaded member is between 0.3037 inches and 0.3109 inches. 
     
     
         6 . The device of  claim 5 , wherein a length of the threaded member is between 0.749 inches and 0.751 inches. 
     
     
         7 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the threaded member is configured to be received by a threaded opening of a compound bow such that the device is fastened to the compound bow. 
     
     
         8 . The device of  claim 7 , wherein the opening of the compound bow is a Berger hole. 
     
     
         9 . The device of  claim 1 , wherein the level vial is partially surrounded by a housing. 
     
     
         10 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the housing includes a plurality of radial projections extending perpendicular to an axis of the level vial. 
     
     
         11 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the housing includes a textured surface. 
     
     
         12 . The device of  claim 9 , wherein the housing and the threaded member are formed from a single component. 
     
     
         13 . A method of leveling a bow sight, comprising:
 fastening, to a bow, a device comprising a level vial and a threaded member having a common axis by rotationally inserting the threaded member into a Berger hole of the bow;   adjusting an orientation of the bow such that the level vial indicates level at a particular orientation;   fixing the bow in the particular orientation; and   performing a sight leveling procedure on a sight fastened to the bow while the bow is fixed in the particular orientation.   
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 13 , wherein the method includes fixing the bow in the particular orientation using a bow vise. 
     
     
         15 . A device for leveling a bow sight, comprising:
 a first portion including a level vial; and   a second portion including a threaded member coaxial with the level vial and configured to be received by a Berger hole of a compound bow.   
     
     
         16 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the threaded member includes threads of a unified fine pitch. 
     
     
         17 . The device of  claim 16 , wherein the threaded member has a pitch of 24 threads per inch. 
     
     
         18 . The device of  claim 17 , wherein a major diameter of the threaded member is between 0.3037 inches and 0.3109 inches. 
     
     
         19 . The device of  claim 18 , wherein a length of the threaded member is between 0.749 inches and 0.751 inches. 
     
     
         20 . The device of  claim 15 , wherein the level vial is partially surrounded by a housing, and wherein the housing and the threaded member are formed from a single component.
