  • Publication number: 20170003103
    Abstract: A crossbow sighter is used to align the sight used on a crossbow to the axis of the groove on the crossbow. In this manner, the cross bow bolt will strike close to, or at, the location sighted by the sight. The crossbow sighter fits into the groove and has a body with a length that extends past the bow string when the bow string is in its fully relaxed position. The bow string rests against the body and applies cross-axial pressure to the crossbow sighter and helps retain it in the groove while aligning the crossbow sight.

  • Publication number: 20160361626
    Abstract: A target that, depending upon a type of game for which the target is programmed, senses whether and where it has been struck by a laser light. The target face displays a game board (such as a dart board) and allows laser light to pass through. A plurality of light sensors are behind the target face. When a designated portion of the target face is struck by a laser light, a sensor records the strike. One or more of: the game to be played using the target, the number of players, starting the game, resetting the target for a new game, and changing players, is accomplished remotely by striking an area on the target with laser light.

  • Patent number: 9429404
    Abstract: A target senses whether and where it has been struck by a laser light. The target includes a screen for allowing laser light to pass through, a plurality of light sensors behind the screen, and an optical display associated with one or more of the light sensors. When the target is struck by a laser light, a sensor records the strike, and the target may be struck with laser light multiple times, whereby different sensors may record the different strikes. To determine whether and where the target has been struck, the user activates a display mode that causes the optical displays in the target to illuminate. The user can then reset the target so the user can begin again.

  • Publication number: 20160161220
    Abstract: A device incorporates a light source, a power source, and a control unit. The device has two operating modes and a switch to select one of the two modes. In a first operating mode the light source has a first control function wherein it emits light and a second control function wherein it does not emit light. In a second mode the light source emits light when the sound of a gun firing pin is detected.

  • Publication number: 20150345903
    Abstract: A sighting device replicates the spread pattern of pellets exiting the barrel of a shotgun. The sighting device includes a light source (preferably a laser) and a power source connectable to the light source. The device may also include a mount to attach the sighting device to a shotgun. The sighting device preferably projects a circular pattern of individual light beams wherein the circumference of the circular pattern increases as the light beams move farther from the sighting device to replicate the spread of shotgun pellets. The sighting device may also project a beam of light in the center of the pattern.

  • Patent number: 9170079
    Abstract: A cartridge laser trainer fits into a gun barrel and includes a backer, circuit and a laser. When the firing pin of the gun is activated it strikes the backer, which contacts the circuit and activates the laser. The cartridge laser trainer may also have one or more O-rings to keep it positioned properly in the gun barrel. Also disclosed are kits that contain (1) a plurality of sheaths and a cartridge laser trainer, or (2) a plurality of O-rings and a cartridge laser trainer. Each sheath or O-ring(s) is configured to be positioned in a particular-sized gun bore and is configured to receive a cartridge laser trainer. With a kit, a single cartridge laser trainer can be used with more than one size of gun bore.
