IR.Tools™ Zeroing Target gains Patent Approval for Advanced Weapon Sights; Receives endorsement from the National Tactical Officers Association
With few zeroing options for advanced weapon sights, Tom Boyer and his team joined their infrared knowledge with optical expertise to provide one target to align various weapon sights. Includes a free optic/rifle configuration app.
CROFTON, Md., Dec. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- IR.Tools™, a leading provider of IR (infrared) protection for the Military and Law Enforcement has announced the patent approval of a new Universal Zeroing Target (UZT) for Advanced Weapon Sights.
With the increased use of advanced optics across both markets, Tom Boyer, lead engineer and owner of IR.Tools, saw the lack of zeroing support for these weapons. Merging his infrared film knowledge with optical expertise,Tom led the IR.Tools team to focus on cracking the code for advanced optics zeroing.
They found traditional zeroing did not meet precision and convenience requirements. First, they determined what IR film each weapon system detects. As a result, a different 2cm square IR film piece for zeroing a Day Laser/IR Laser, Night Vision and Thermal Weapon sight was developed. And they found a way to include all the specific film pieces on one target. A one stop zeroing target.
"We are really proud of this New Universal Zeroing Target patent. Finally, there is zeroing support for weapons with advanced optics. When forced to make a critical, split-second decision users can be confident their shot will be accurate," said Tom.
Included with the purchase of the target is access to a free optic/rifle configuration app. The app is the first crowdsourced POA/POI offset database in the world.
In addition, the Universal Zeroing Target has been tested and recommended by the members of the National Tactical Officers Association. "The ability to use one target to align the various systems will contribute to consistency, and ease the logistics of acquiring spectrum specific sights." said a NTOA tester.
