When I first started out with prototyping a new sight design, I had a machine shop do it all in metal. Very expensive and long time delays. After 20 different designs, you learn the real value of 3D printing and doing it yourself. Now my designs are much cheaper and much faster to evaluate and...

I doubt that I will need any of this data presented, but I do applaud you on doing a good job and knowing you will take some shots along the way. if everyone put this kind of effort in, image what can be accomplished and who will benefit!

I have been looking at ways to back lite some of the targets. What protects the lite inside? I am looking at using black paper with shrink wrap material for the target areas. I'm considering running LED lites in a protective screen tube and 1/2 pipe solid conduit shielding the side facing the...

Theory is what drives the world. I don't expect that I'll ever use all of it, but it might surprise us in the future what we get to implement. I notice that many try to achieve for accuracy the lowest vertical offset for their sights, but not many ever achieve 0" vertical offset. I'm not sure...

Thank you Matt, for talking me off of that ledge! :ROFLMAO:

I can imagine this concept of spin drift working well, if the sensor input calibration is fine enough and it can fit in a sight system. I can see this used in an app with auto adjust reticle. I'm looking for sensors that can give me that level of precision output. The new sight doesn't have a...

If I am understanding this concept that the margins are higher on a $20 item, is that due to the volume of sales are lower? And vice versa for the $20k item? Your badge indicates you are associated with a manufacturer. Is that correct? If it is, why does it seem to be quite difficult to present...

Good question and good answer! I learn as much as I can when I have time to view these posts. Thanks

My question is: Do you keep winning or losing? :unsure:

If you like the idea of a new thread for patent talk, I would be open for that. Some members may not have an interest in the subject, and I wouldn't want to hijack this thread. I've got plenty of ideas and stories to tell. I'm interested in your patent's concepts and the challenges that you may...

Air gun shooting may be the best platform for developing instinct and point shooting skills. It is low cost, operating within good parameters of the equipment and can be done safely. It can be challenging, fun to do by yourself or with a group and well worthwhile to develop the skills if they...

The modifications that I use on my prototypes takes no practice at all. New shooters of all ages are instantly experts at shots out to 13Yards. That is the length of our Air Range. Kids are shooting erasers hung from fish line and are shooting 1/4" beads off of toothpicks at any distance out to...

Please don't take offense that I cut and pasted your post. You have many good points that I wanted to expand on. When instinct shooting sights are not used at all. The gun barrel is peripheral to the target view. What does help when instinct shooting is a mounted laser. Lasers are all I shoot...

You're forcing me to think about changes for a new patent idea. I haven't got the prototype done for the 2nd one yet. My new design would mount under the air tube and require the bipod to be mounted on the sides with M-lock mounts. And I do want to know where the unobtainium element is on the...

That target panic is the destroyer of confidence. I hate the feeling that I might fail. Or I use to, until I realized that I learn more from my failures than I do from my successes. My successes confirm what I know and teach me nothing. I celebrate my failures more now that I know I have more to...

"Timing the shot" is an excellent explanation of how to get the results you want when in an environment of varying stability. When you are driving, you are in control of the shot. Nicely put! Coasting shots are usually done "in retreat and for affect" and do not have the accuracy focus of a...

Are you trying to hold perfectly still or are you squeezing the trigger while doing a pass thru on the target? I have had better results doing the pass thru method.

I agree with starting close and the use of small targets. When I am working with 4-year-old and older kids, the goal is to give the kids the skills and confidence to shoot accurately. This stage should eliminate as many of the challenges that affect the outcome they want, which is, hit the...

I had never heard of the Tall Target Test until this post. The video does a good job with the details and explanations. I don't shoot long range, but I am developing some data that can use these "new to me" facts. Thanks for the good posts.

Chickens would be tuff, even with a shotgun. You gave me a good laugh with that one. Thanks!
