Claim 11:
12. A targeting system operable to be used with a bow to assist an operator with striking a target with an arrow from the bow, the targeting system comprising:
a ranging module operable to output a beam towards the target and receive a reflection of the beam from the target;
a user interface;
a plurality of vertically-aligned light sources;
a memory configured to store a user profile associated with the operator, the user profile including a plurality of arrow profiles; and
a processor coupled with the ranging module, the user interface, the plurality of light sources, and the memory, the processor configured to:
determine a range to the selected target based on the reflected beam,
select one of the arrow profiles from the memory based on an input provided through the user interface,
determine an orientation of the bow based at least partially on the determined range to the selected target and the selected arrow profile,
determine a compensated sighting mark corresponding to the determined orientation,
control one of the plurality of light sources to present the variable compensated sighting mark, and
determine the flight of the arrow based on a type of string release mechanism.
