Abstract

A tilt indicator (400) for use on a firearm (10) includes a signal to indicate if the firearm (10) is level or out of level. The signal (404) is located to be viewed by a user via the user's peripheral vision and his secondary concentration so the user can maintain his primary concentration on the target. See figure 28.
