Abstract

A method of aligning a point of aim with a point of impact for a projectile device is disclosed. Using at least one superposition device coupled to the projectile device, multiple optical reference points are superposed within a first target area. Positions for at least two of the optical reference points are noted. A projectile is shot from the projectile device at a second target area, while the positions of the at least two optical reference points are maintained, to create the point of impact. The point of aim for the projectile device is adjusted to correspond with the point of impact while the positions of the at least two optical reference points are maintained. A system for aligning a point of aim with a point of impact for a projectile device is also disclosed.

Claims (15)

1. A system for aligning a point of aim with a point of impact for a projectile device, the system comprising:

at least one superposition device configured to be coupled to the projectile device, the at least one superposition device comprising at least one illumination source configured to create at least two diverging beams to superpose multiple optical reference points within a first target area;

at least two reference points on said first target area, wherein the at least two reference points correspond to desired positions for at least two of the multiple optical reference points; and

a second target area within which the projectile device creates the point of impact;

wherein, the point of aim is adjustable to align with the point of impact while the positions of the at least two optical reference point is maintained.

2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one superposition device further comprises multiple optical reference points.

3. The system of claim 2 , wherein the multiple optical reference points are coupled to the optics of a scope.

4. The system of claim 2 , wherein the multiple optical reference points are level with respect to the projectile device.

5. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one superposition device is further configured to adjust a spacing between the multiple optical reference points superposed within the first target area.

6. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one superposition device is further configured to be removably coupled to the projectile device.

7. The system of claim 1 , further comprising at least two reference points on said first target area, wherein the at least two reference points correspond to desired positions for the at least two optical reference points.

8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one superposition device is further configured to adjust a spacing between the at least two optical reference points superposed within the first target area.

9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the at least one superposition device comprises at least one illumination source for creating the at least two diverging beams.

10. The system of claim 1 , wherein at least one of the at least two diverging beams is a laser beam.

11. The system of claim 1 , wherein an angle between the at least two diverging beams is adjustable.
