[QUOTE="ATH, post: 1011927, member: 1656"] If you have already checked the level once and need to move a little because the animal takes a few steps, you are likely still close than if you had never checked the level at all. I stand by my experience that if I don't have the <2 seconds to glance at the level and shift the cant of the gun, I have no business taking the shot at a range long enough to make checking the level important. I have used the level in the field routinely for years, and I can't recall ever missing a shot because I was leveling the gun. There have been animals which simply would not hold still enough for a long range shot in general, but I'm not going to pop a 600 yard shot off at a cruising buck who only pauses momentarily. Experiences with other species and locations may differ but this has been mine. [/QUOTE]
