Abstract
An illuminated bow sight comprises a level and an illumination source disposed on an archery bow. This level is disposed between a user and a source of light in a manner to allow light to strike the user's eye when the roll of the bow along a front-to-back axis is substantially at the rate desired by the user, i.e., has substantially no roll with respect to its desired orientation. More specifically, the invention relates to a level having a bubble being disposed between a light source and the user's eye. The medium of the level is substantially more opaque than the medium of the bubble, allowing substantially more light to pass through the level and to strike the user's eye when the bow has substantially no roll with respect to its desired orientation.
