Benefits of technology

The present invention improves upon existing handheld range finders with range sensors and computing elements for accurately detecting bullet trajectory data. This allows users to quickly calculate the amount they can throw into their gun based on these data rather than manually calculating it themselves.

Problems solved by technology

The technical problem addressed in this patent is how to accurately measure the range from a gun to a target without requiring hunters to constantly check the accuracy of the range findings provided through traditional methods like holding up the weapon's trigger until they reach the desired target. This process requires constant attention and effort, making it difficult for hunters to achieve consistently high levels of precision.

Embodiment Construction

[0025]The following detailed description of the invention references the accompanying drawings that illustrate specific embodiments in which the invention can be practiced. The embodiments are intended to describe aspects of the invention in sufficient detail to enable those skilled in the art to practice the invention. Other embodiments can be utilized and changes can be made without departing from the scope of the present invention. The following detailed description is, therefore, not to be taken in a limiting sense. The scope of the present invention is defined only by the appended claims, along with the full scope of equivalents to which such claims are entitled.

[0026]FIG. 1 illustrates a shooter taking aim at a target T with a rangefinder device 10, constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. The device 10 may be a small, portable, handheld device for use in determining a range to a target T, such as an animal, an angle to the target T, and ballistic in

Abstract

A handheld rangefinder device operable to determine ballistic hold-over information is disclosed. The rangefinder device generally includes a range sensor operable to determine a range to a target, a memory storing a database of ranges and corresponding hold-over values for a default sight-in distance, and a computing element, coupled with the range sensor and the memory. The computing element may calculate an adjusted hold-over value based on the range and an actual sight-in distance. Additionally, a tilt sensor may be included to provide information for calculating an angle-adjusted hold-over value. Such a configuration facilitates accurate firearm use by providing ranges and hold-over values without requiring time-consuming and manual user calculations.
