LONG RANGE ARCHERY SCOPE

摘要

A scope may include an adjustment dial, which may be moved among a plurality of positions to configure the scope to compensate for projectile drops. The adjustment dial may be labeled with dial-calibration data, which may include one or more distance indicators and/or one or more windage hold-off indicators. The scope may be attached to a gun, bow or crossbow and the dial-calibration data may be at least partially generated using ballistics performance data based on shots, bullets, arrows or bolts fired by the gun, bow or crossbow. The dial-calibration data may be at least partially generated using shooting conditions. A system and method for generating customized adjustment dials can incorporate ballistics, projectile, and/or shooting conditions into program. The system and method can also include a derived distance calculation module, which may be configured to use a distance to a target and actual shooting conditions to calculate a derived distance.

1. A system comprising:
a scope sized and configured to be connected to a bow, said scope having a reticle with a plurality of aiming locations thereon to facilitate aiming said bow at a target and said scope further including an adjustment dial sized and configured to adjustably move among a plurality of positions to configure said scope to compensate for projectile drops associated with a range of distances to a target, said adjustment dial comprising:
a first set of dial-calibration data comprising at least one distance indicator to indicate a distance from said bow to said target, said adjustment dial being movable to reflect said first set of dial-calibration data; anda second set of dial-calibration data comprising at least one windage hold-off indicator to indicate a hold-off for a given distance; wherein said at least one windage hold-off indicator indicates said hold-off when said adjustment dial is adjusted to a distance between said bow and said target, thereby indicating which of said plurality of aiming locations should be used after adjusting said adjustable dial to reflect said distance.
