  • Patent number: 10670372
    Abstract: A targeting system operable to be used with a bow to assist an operator with striking a target with an arrow. The targeting system comprising a processor, a target sighting window, a ranging module and a projector. The processor is operable to determine a range (distance) to the target and determine an orientation of the bow to strike the target. The processor is configured to present a first sighting element on the target sighting window and project a second sighting element onto the target sighting window. The projected second sighting element appears to be closer to the target than the first sighting element, which may be aligned with the second sighting element to aim the bow. The projector is also operable to present a variable compensated sighting mark onto the target sighting window that is indicative of a compensated targeting axis.

  • Patent number: 10184757
    Abstract: Systems and methods for a positioning device for alignment of archery sights are disclosed. According to one embodiment of the disclosure, an assembly for mounting a bow sight to a bow may be disclosed. The bow sight may project a fixed sighting mark and a laser sighting reticle that may be aligned to orient a bow. The assembly may include: a mount that may be operable to attach to a riser of the bow, a translational block coupled to the mount that may be operable to align the fixed sighting mark along a sighting line. The translational block may further include: a first translational element that may be operable to adjust a location of the fixed sighting mark along a first axis of translation. The assembly may further include a rotational block that may be operable to align the laser sighting reticle along the sighting line.
