Angle slope level indicator and uses thereof

Abstract

The present invention relates to instruments for achieving improved accuracy in targeting objects from a distance. In particular, the present invention provides instruments designed to measure the slope of a reference point to an object at a distance. In addition, the present invention provides instruments designed to measure the cant level of a reference point to an object at a distance.

Claims

1. A device, comprising a housing secured with an attachment member, said housing having therein a slope indicator and a cant level indicator,wherein said cant level indicator is configured to display changes in cant level resulting from movement of said device,wherein said slope indicator is configured to display changes in slope level resulting from movement of said device, andwherein said attachment member is configured for secure attachment with a rifle or scope.

2. The device of claim 1, wherein said cant level indicator is separated from said slope indicator.

3. A system, comprising a device rigidly attached onto a scope, wherein said device comprises a housing secured with an attachment member, wherein said attachment member is rigidly attached with said scope, wherein said housing has therein a slope indicator and a cant level indicator, wherein said cant level indicator is configured to display changes in cant level resulting from movement of said system, wherein said slope indicator is configured to display changes in slope level resulting from movement of said system.

4. A method of targeting an object, comprising a) providing a device rigidly attached onto a scope, wherein said device comprises a housing secured with an attachment member, wherein said attachment member is rigidly attached with said scope, wherein said housing has therein a slope indicator and a cant level indicator, wherein said cant level indicator is configured to display changes in cant level resulting from movement of said system, wherein said slope indicator is configured to display changes in slope level resulting from movement of said system; andb) viewing said object through said scope;c) measuring the slope measurement for said scope based upon said viewing of said object with said slope indicator;d) measuring the cant level for said scope based upon said viewing of said object with said cant indicator; ande) adjusting said viewing based upon said measured cant level and said measured slope measurement.
