Embodiment Construction

)

[0026]The present disclosure is directed to various types of mounts for securing cameras onto a scope, such as the scope of a firearm or bow. In some embodiments, the disclosure is directed to an apparatus that acts as an accessory to a conventional firearm. In other embodiments, the disclosure is directed to an actual firearm or device that is capable of and designed to store cameras. Generally, the apparatus and device are designed for connecting these cameras to the scope of the firearm while still allowing for an eye view of the target and accurate firing of the firearm viewed through the device. As a result, still photos and video recordings can be taken without a material change or effect on the firearm. As the camera is able to capture photos and video through the scope, it can also be particularly useful for training purposes, such as for a novice hunter or for military and police training.
