A targeting system operable to be used with a bow to assist an operator with striking a target with a projectile. The targeting system comprising an accelerometer configured to generate acceleration data, an attitude sensor configured to generate attitude data, a display, a memory, and a processor. The processor is configured to profile steadiness using the acceleration data, profile roll using the attitude data, present on the display based on the steadiness profile one of an indication of unsteadiness represented by circular segments of relatively greater diameter with relatively greater unsteadiness, and an indication of steadiness represented by absence of the circular segments, and present on the display based on the roll profile one of an indication of level represented by at least one horizontal line and an indication of roll represented by at least one canted triangle and absence of the at least one horizontal line.

Targeting system

A targeting system operable to be used with a bow to assist an operator with striking a target with an arrow. The targeting system may comprise a processor, a target sighting window, a ranging module and a projector. The processor may be configured to control the projector to project a first sighting element onto the target sighting window to select the target, determine a range to the selected target based on the reflected beam, determine an orientation of the bow based at least partially on the determined range to the selected target, determine a location on the target sighting window to present a compensated sighting mark corresponding to the determined orientation, and control the projector to present the variable compensated sighting mark on the target sighting window.
