AI Technical Summary
Existing methods for checking and adjusting the accuracy of hunting weapons are time-consuming and cumbersome, especially at long distances, and existing camera systems are not suitable for mobile use in hunting areas.
A mobile device comprising a tripod with a folding mechanism, a bullet disk, a boom with a radio camera, and a playback device, allowing for wireless data transfer to display the shot accuracy on a playback device without the need for manual target inspection.
Facilitates quick and easy adjustment of weapon accuracy by providing real-time visual feedback on a playback device, eliminating the need for tedious manual target visits.

Abstract
Description
[0001] In firearms and hunting weapons, the aiming mechanism can become misaligned, for example, due to mechanical influences or the use of ammunition with different characteristics. In technical terms, the line of sight and the bullet trajectory no longer coincide. For this reason, the accuracy of the weapon must be checked regularly and the weapon readjusted if necessary. The term "zeroing in" is also used below to describe the checking and adjusting of the weapon.
[0002] Current technology for zeroing hunting weapons involves setting up a target, and firing targeted shots at it from a defined distance. After each shot, the shooter must return to the target and compare the weapon's settings with the hit pattern. This procedure is time-consuming and laborious, especially at shooting distances of 100 meters or more.
[0003] Camera systems are used in shooting ranges to monitor shot patterns. However, they are stationary and therefore not suitable for mobile use in hunting areas. The invention is based on the objective of providing a mobile, easy-to-use device that eliminates the time-consuming back-and-forth of running to and from the target when zeroing in.
[0004] Fig. 1. shows the device, consisting of a tripod with three legs (1) attached to the central tube (2) via a folding mechanism. At the end of the central tube (2) is a tripod head (3) for holding a target (6). Also attached to the central tube (2) is a boom (4) with a mounting device for a wireless camera (7). The wireless camera (7) is connected to a playback device (8).
[0005] The tripod is set up in height and width using its legs (1) that fold down from the central tube (2) so that it remains stable even on uneven ground. A target (6) is mounted on the height-adjustable central tube (2) above the tripod head (3), which serves as a target. The radio camera (7) is attached to the boom (4), the radius and angular width of which can be adjusted using the lock (5) in such a way that, on the one hand, it does not obstruct the shooter's view of the target (6), but on the other hand, it images the target (6) to the desired extent. Radius describes the length of the boom (4), measured from the central tube (2) to the outer end of the boom. Angular width describes the opening from the boom (4) to the central tube (2), which can be adjusted around the common apex.
[0006] The wireless camera (7) is connected to a playback device (8) via a wireless connection and transmits the recording from the wireless camera (7) for display on the screen of the playback device (8). A wireless connection represents any type of wireless data exchange. A playback device (8) represents any device that enables a visual display of the wireless camera recording.
[0007] In a preferred embodiment, the boom (4) is connected to the central tube (2) via a servomotor (not shown) instead of the locking device (5) and, in a further preferred embodiment, can be adjusted in radius and angle via a radio connection to the servomotor.
[0008] Once the device has been set up and adjusted, the shooter can read the accuracy of the target on the display device (8), thus eliminating the tedious and time-consuming task of searching for the target after each shot.
