Just ordered the leveling device to set my own sights up. This was simple and clear, providing an excellent explanation of how to go about setting up sights. Thanks and best wishes to you and your family. Have a joyful Christmas.
2 axis should not even be there. It should always be machined to match the first axis. Shocked that UV was the first company to actually see that and get rid of 2nd axis. HHA having a 2nd axis adjustment and no first axis is insane. Love their sight hate that 1 aspect.
He did it off the riser obviously he wouldn’t come show you a method he doesn’t use. The string can and will always vary. Adding a touch of cam lean to the bow or removing some would change the strings level.
@@jwild5360 I agree with you! I’ve been very torn as a bow technician on whether to level people’s sights from the riser or from the string. I’ve heard many pros say to level off the string because that is the last place the arrow leaves the bow from.
@@zachcromer4097 yes I can see both sides I think riser is going to be the most consistent method long term. It’s the only thing not changing over time
@jwild5360 Obviously, hamskea's instructions for their sight level says( For best results, all sight adjustments should be referenced from the string). Also clearly states to level 1st axis to the string... Obviously, Levi trust hamskea or he wouldn't be using their tool right?
Do not worry about it. Most sights these days no longer have adjustable 1st axis settings. This is a good thing in my opinion. Less moving parts and no additional screws to get loose on a hunt or target shoot. The machining tolerances are very tight anyway. If you really want to set the 1st axis on a sight without an adjustment, then level your bow first on a vice. Then place another level on your sight rail, the vertical rail as shown in this video. Next, shim your sight mount until the level on your bow string and the one on your sight rail match each other. To be honest, like I said, just don't worry about it. Focus on your 2nd axis...then your 3rd. Out of the 3 axis adjustments, focus on setting the 2nd axis accurately. This will be used for 99% of your shooting. The 3rd axis is for extreme angled shots (up or down) but you should still set it properly when you get a chance. This is best done at full draw or by just shooting at 45 degrees and adjusting slowly until you are hitting where you are aiming.
Levi you do not want to go off that level for your 3rd axis, you need to use your vertical threaded pin on a plumb line or Lazer. Bro if you need a serious Tech, come see me in Central IL at Midgard Pro Shop brother. I know you know your stuff, but I can show you how to get that 3rd axis PERFECT with lasers man. Come see me in Gilman IL
You can't set 3rd axis with a laser or a level. You have to shoot it in or at least set it at full draw in your hand. The bow will torque at full draw from grip pressure and from the pressure on the cables in the cable guide. Levi knows what he's doing. Sounds like you don't.🤦♂️
The entire idea of shooting in the third axis is because it has to be done at full draw due to riser flex. Yes, you can do it with the hamskea tool or lasers at full draw with a plumb bob. Just line up the tool or sight pins to the straight line while aiming at steep up and down angles. But, as Levi mentions, the best way is to shoot in the third axis. All those other methods can get you very close, but there is no substitute for shooting it in.
This is the best example I've seen, very simple - thank you!

Thanks for this great video. Nice and simple!
Thanks for the info Levi
Always appreciated
Thanks Levi. Very informative.

Do you prefer to level the 1st axis off of the riser vs leveling it off of the string?
Wondering the same. Seen most people level off the string

Well, i tried asking John Dudley but got NO response.. so I'm going to ask you.. how do you setup a sight that has NO 1ST AXIS ADJUSTMENT.....

how many tournaments have you won?

This is absolutely hilarious 🤣 thanks I needed this🤣 “serious tech” 😂😂😂😂😂
Heck yeah, wtf does he know? Lol
