A system includes at least one processor; a memory configured to store for each of the plurality of sight tapes, a first distance separating two sight marks included on each of the plurality of sight tapes, respectively, the two sight marks including a first sight mark associated with a first known shot-distance and a second sight mark associated with a second known shot-distance; a sight setting module configured to determine sight settings for the selected archery equipment and determine a second distance separating a first sight setting associated with the first known shot-distance and a second sight setting associated with the second known shot-distance; and a comparison module configured to compare a value of the second distance with a value of the respective first distances to determine which of the respective first distances most closely matches the second distance.

A sighting device is provided, configured to aim at a target, including a sight module, a rangefinder module, and a securing mechanism configured to detachably secure the rangefinder module to the sight module. The rangefinder module is configured to determine the distance between the rangefinder module and the target. The rangefinder module is disposed on a side of the sight module and has a digital numeric display, and the distance between the rangefinder module and the target is displayed on the digital numeric display.

A crossbow includes a barrel, a wing supported on a front portion of the barrel, a string connected to the wing at two ends, a rear sight supported on a rear portion of the barrel, and a string-pulling unit movably supported on the barrel and adapted for pulling the string backward on the barrel. The string-pulling unit includes two parallel shanks, a handle and a crossbar. The shanks are movable along two parallel lateral faces of the barrel. The handle is connected to the shanks near a rear end of each of the shanks. The crossbar is connected to the shanks near a front end of each of the shanks and adapted for keeping the shanks in position relative to each other. Moreover, the crossbar extends over the barrel. A front sight is formed on the crossbar and adapted for cooperation with the rear sight during aiming.

A rangefinder system includes a bow that may launch an arrow. A range finder is provided and the range finder may determine a distance between the bow and a target. A mount is coupled to the bow such that the mount is directed forwardly from the bow. The range finger is coupled to the mount such that the mount directs the range finder forwardly with respect to the bow. A switch is coupled to the bow and the switch may be manipulated. The switch is electrically coupled to the range finder such that the switch turns the range finder on and off. A display is movably coupled to the bow and the display may be visible. The display is electrically coupled to the range finder and the display displays a distance between the range finder and the target.

An improved display provides a relative aiming point indicated in relation to a relative target icon or user selectable target reference image. A range finding device is calibrated, using a relative target, to a specific firing device having a sight, for example, a rifle having a riflescope calibrated at 100 yards, or a bow having a bow sight calibrated with a 20-yard pin. The user places the riflescope cross hairs on the point visualized in the display relative to the relative target icon. In bow mode, user places a bow sight pin, for example, the 20-yard pin, on the point visualized in the display relative to the relative target icon. The relative aiming point is separate and distinct from an absolute aiming point that may be visualized in the display relative to the visual image of the target.

A dual bow sighting apparatus includes a mounting member configured for attachment to the archery bow. An upper sight assembly is coupled to an upper end of the mounting member at a predetermined vertical elevation, the upper sight assembly having an upper frame section and a pendulum sight pivotally coupled to the upper frame section. A lower sight assembly is coupled to a lower end of the mounting member and positioned at a vertically adjustable elevation relative to the upper sighting assembly, the lower sight assembly having a lower frame section and a vertical sight pin extending upwardly from the lower frame section. An elevation adjustment assembly is coupled to the mounting member and having a linkage in communication with the lower sight assembly such that actuation of the linkage by a user changes a vertical distance between the upper and lower sight assemblies, respectively.
