As an engineer he knows how to solve them.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHanley, a materials and science engineering major, invented a new aiming device for competitive archery. The lightweight scope with integrated light, called StarLight, is the latest product developed by his company, \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/www.ultraviewarchery.com\/\u0022\u003EUltraView\u003C\/a\u003E.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe device is also among the six finalists for the 2018 \u003Ca href=\u0022https:\/\/inventureprize.gatech.edu\/\u0022\u003EInVenture Prize\u003C\/a\u003E, Georgia Tech\u0026rsquo;s annual invention competition. The winner will be selected March 14.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHanley transferred to Tech in 2017 from the University of Vermont. The 20-year-old has been involved with archery for 11 years and competing for the past seven. He\u0026rsquo;s a four-time national champion and at one time was the top-ranked archer under 21 in the United States.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;As a shooter there are other problems I\u0026rsquo;d like to solve within the sport,\u0026rdquo; said Hanley, who is from Cambridge, Vt. \u0026ldquo;It\u0026rsquo;s exciting that people are responding to it.\u0026rdquo;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHe said StarLight fixes several deficiencies. While current scopes are bulky, his design is made from fiber composite material which provides a smaller and lighter design.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003ELots of archers shoot in the woods where it\u0026rsquo;s dark or at least heavily shaded. They would need to attach a light to scopes and the wires could obstruct views. But StarLight\u0026rsquo;s sight doesn\u0026rsquo;t have any obstructions in the aiming window. It also has an integrated ultra violet LED to illuminate a florescent dot on the glass magnifying lens.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHanley is accepting pre-orders for the product and expects to deliver them this summer.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EThe company began by producing customizable 3D-printed grips for bows. He now sells the grips to customers in 20 different countries.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EHe runs the company from his dorm room and his payroll comprises two part-time employees. He ships orders from the post office in the campus student center.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003E\u0026ldquo;It\u0026rsquo;s hard being a full-time student and running a company,\u0026rdquo; Hanley said. \u0026ldquo;But I love doing it and this is the industry I want to be in.\u0026rdquo;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","summary":null,"format":"limited_html"}],"field_subtitle":"","field_summary":[{"value":"\u003Cp\u003EInVenture Prize finalist UltraView created a new aiming device for competitive archery.\u0026nbsp;The inventor, Kolby Hanley, is an archer and a materials and science engineering major.\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n","format":"limited_html"}],"field_summary_sentence":[{"value":"InVenture Prize finalist UltraView created a new aiming device for competitive archery.
