Systems and methods for archery equipment

1. A method of providing, with a hand-held processing device including a display having a rigid display surface, a visual reference for establishing an archery sight setting for an archery sight employing mechanically-adjusted pins positioned for aiming a bow, the method comprising:

receiving a user-input to the hand-held processing device, the user-input identifying at least one feature of selected archery equipment, the selected archery equipment including the archery sight and the bow;

establishing, by the hand-held processing device, the archery sight setting based at least in part on the at least one feature identified by the user-input, the archery sight setting established to provide a desired level of accuracy for the selected archery equipment;

outputting, by the hand-held processing device, the archery sight setting in the display; and

employing the archery sight setting as a visual reference for adjusting the archery sight to locate at least one sight pin at a height to provide the desired level of accuracy for the selected archery equipment, the at least one sight pin included in the archery sight.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the act of establishing includes employing stored values of model performance data for the selected archery equipment.

3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising including flight characteristics concerning model archery equipment in the model performance data.

4. The method of claim 3 , further comprising including acceleration data in the flight characteristics.

5. The method of claim 1 , wherein the act of receiving includes receiving a user selection of one of vanes and feathers.

6. The method of claim 1 , wherein the act of outputting includes an act of including a pin height in the archery sight setting.

7. The method of claim 1 , wherein the display includes a touch screen display.

8. A method of providing, with a hand-held processing device including a touch screen display, a visual reference for establishing an archery sight setting for an archery sight employed when aiming a bow, the method comprising:

receiving, with the touch screen display, a user-input identifying at least one feature of selected archery equipment, the selected archery equipment including the archery sight and the bow;

establishing, by the processing device, the archery sight setting based at least in part on the at least one feature identified by the user-input, the archery sight setting established to provide a desired level of accuracy for the selected archery equipment;

outputting, by the processing device, the archery sight setting for display in the touch screen display; and

employing the archery sight setting as a visual reference for adjusting the archery sight to locate at least one sight pin at a height to provide the desired level of accuracy for the selected archery equipment.

9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the act of receiving includes receiving information concerning an arrow speed of the selected archery equipment.

10. The method of claim 9 , wherein arrow speed is a first flight characteristic, wherein the act of establishing includes determining a value of a second flight characteristic for the selected archery equipment based on the first flight characteristic and a performance of a model archery system.

11. A method of providing, with a hand-held processing device including a display having a rigid display surface, a visual reference for establishing an archery sight setting for an archery sight employed when aiming a bow, the method comprising:

receiving a user-input to the hand-held processing device, the user-input identifying at least one feature of selected archery equipment, the selected archery equipment including the archery sight and the bow;

establishing, by the hand-held processing device, the archery sight setting based at least in part on the at least one feature identified by the user-input, the archery sight setting established to provide a desired level of accuracy for the selected archery equipment;

outputting, by the hand-held processing device, the archery sight setting in the display; and

employing the archery sight setting as a visual reference for adjusting the archery sight to locate at least one sight pin at a height to provide the desired level of accuracy for the selected archery equipment, the at least one sight pin included in the archery sight.
