Abstract
The present disclosure relates generally to visual-electronic wind indicator technology (“ViEWIT”) wind flag systems and methods for target shooting comprising one or more ViEWIT wind flags and a base unit that receives sensor data from a ViEWIT wind flag and displays data based on the received data. Additionally, the present disclosure relates to a system wherein multiple ViEWIT wind flags can communicate with each other to form a mesh network, or alternatively, act as repeaters for ViEWIT wind flags located farther away from a shooter.
Claims20
A wind flag system comprising:
- one or more wind flags (100), each wind flag comprising:
- a visually-observable physical indication (134) of horizontal wind direction,
- an electronic horizontal orientation sensor (222),
- a visually-observable physical indication (122) of wind speed,
- an electronic wind speed sensor (220), and
- a wind flag communication system (202);
- and
- a base station (300) comprising:
- a display (304), and
- a base station communication system (350),
- wherein the base station is configured to:
- receive horizontal wind direction data and wind speed data at each wind flag,
- present on the display an indication of respective horizontal wind direction and respective wind speed at each wind flag,
- present on the display an indication of a respective location of each wind flag, and
- present on the display an indication of horizontal bullet deflection determined at least in part from received horizontal wind direction data and wind speed data.
