Targeting system

A targeting system operable to be used with a bow to assist an operator with striking a target with an arrow from the bow, the targeting system comprising:

• a target sighting window;
• a projector;
• a ranging module operable to output a beam towards the target and receive a reflection of the beam from the target;
• a user interface;
• a memory including a plurality of arrow profiles;
• and
• a processor coupled with the ranging module, the projector, the user interface, and the memory, the processor configured to:
• control the projector to project a first sighting element onto the target sighting window to select the target, the first sighting element aligned to the beam,
• determine a range to the selected target based on the reflected beam,
• determine an orientation of the bow based at least partially on the determined range to the selected target,
• select one of the arrow profiles from the memory based on an input provided through the user interface,
• using the selected arrow profile, determine a location on the target sighting window to present a compensated sighting mark corresponding to the determined orientation, wherein the processor determines the location on the target sighting window using a first configuration for ranges above about 15 yards and a second configuration for ranges below about 15 yards to account for parallax caused by an eye position of the operator, and
• control the projector to present the variable compensated sighting mark on the target sighting window.
