Appl. No.:

10/867429

Inventors:

William Perkins - Lenexa KS, US
John Cross - Overland Park KS, US
Jordan Vermillion - Overland Park KS, US

International Classification:

F41G 1/00
G02B 23/00

US Classification:

042142000, 359428000

Abstract:

A telescopic sight () for automatically compensating for bullet trajectory deviations is disclosed. The sight () includes a user input () and an electronic port () for communicating ballistic, calibration and user preference information to the sight (). The sight () further includes a ranger finder () and an array of ambient condition sensors () for automatically generating target distance information and ambient condition information. A processor () uses the ballistic, calibration, user preference, distance and ambient condition information to calculate bullet trajectory deviation compensation information. The processor () presents the compensation to the user in the form of a compensation reticle () or a compensation value ().
