A New Gadget Alert
Ankeny, IA inventor Steve Ugolini, has developed a method to assist hunters and shooters to be more accurate.
Mr. Ugolini recently got the patent on his product called an AccuScope, it uses math calculations to analyze how to chart adjustments for firearm mounted scopes. He theorizes that "sighting in" can be expensive if people go through ammunition by trial and error, spinning the dials without getting the target in the cross hairs.
The chart is supposed to help the hunter/shooter by allowing them to input measurements and match them with the shooting distance. On the chart below the shooting distance is the number of clicks the hunter/shooter should turn the scope dial for windage or elevation.
Reports have it that Mr. Ugolini has worked out calculations on two charts that covers three different types of scopes.
What makes it handy is that it fits in your pocket. The listed price is $9.95 plus whatever taxes your state would tack on.
If you find yourself needing some extra help in homing in on the target - Look for this little gadget from theSportsman's Guide, from Casey's General Store through November 30th,and last but not least the company website...
That's an interesting idea. It would be interesting to hear from someone who has tried it.
ReplyDeleteWe waste a lot of ammo because we site in quite a few guns and rifles. We may get this. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteKristine - I agree. Scopes aren't a part of my gear yet.
ReplyDeleteWindyridge - Would you be interested in being a product tester and letting us know how it worked for you?
