Claim 6:
7. 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 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 sighting marks corresponding to a plurality of distances; and
a processor coupled with the ranging module, the plurality of light sources and the memory, the processor configured to:
determine a range to the selected target based on the reflected beam,
determine an orientation of the bow based at least partially on the determined range to the selected target and the user 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.
