Abstract
Provided are devices for determining the correct aiming point of a low velocity projectile and methods and systems for using the devices. For example, the devices can be attached to a bow and used to improve accuracy for hunting game
Claims19
An integrated aiming device for a projectile launching device comprising:
- a means of measuring distance;
- a line of sight (LOS) aiming point;
- a true aiming point adjustable in one or more axis and a means of determining the true aim point.
A method for sighting comprising the steps of:
- displaying a line of sight (LOS) aiming point suitable for aligning a rangefinder with a target and also displaying the true aiming point for the projectile launching device.
An aiming device for a projectile launching device comprising:
- a means for obtaining information from the projectile;
- a means for storing information retrieved from the projectile;
- and a means for using the information in the true aiming point calculation.
A method for training an aiming device to determine the ballistic coefficients of the low velocity projectile launching device from a predetermined training sequence as follows comprising the steps of:
- mounting and aligning the sight to the low velocity projectile device;
- activating the sight and select the training mode;
- firing one or more projectiles at one or more near targets;
- pointing the sight at the center of the previously fired projectiles;
- activating the sight's learn mode to derive ballistic coefficients from the position of the projectiles relative to the aim point;
- firing one or more projectiles at the far target;
- pointing the sight at the center of the previously fired projectiles;
- and
- activating the learn mode.
