1. A targeting system operable to be used with a bow to assist an operator with striking a target with a projectile from the bow, the targeting system comprising:
an accelerometer configured to generate acceleration data of the targeting system;
an attitude sensor configured to generate attitude data of the targeting system;
a display;
a memory; and
a processor coupled with the accelerometer, the attitude sensor, the display, and the memory, the processor configured to:
profile steadiness of the targeting system using the acceleration data;
profile roll of the targeting system using the attitude data;
present on the display based on the steadiness profile one of:
an indication of unsteadiness represented by circular segments of relatively greater diameter with relatively greater unsteadiness; and
an indication of steadiness represented by absence of the circular segments; and
present on the display based on the roll profile one of:
an indication of level represented by at least one horizontal line; and
an indication of roll represented by at least one canted triangle and absence of the at least one horizontal line.
