The present disclosure relates to a shooting device, sighting apparatus, imaging rangefinder and adjusting method thereof. The imaging rangefinder capable of being adjustably mount on a sighting telescope, comprising a power supply, a control module electrically connected to the power supply, an imaging module electrically connected to the control module, a ranging imaging module electrically connected to the control module, and a display module electrically connected to the control module, and an eyepiece system showing an image shown by the display module, wherein an image from the sighting telescope is transmitted to the control module via the imaging module, the image shown by the display module comprises the image from the sighting telescope, an image from the ranging imaging module, and ranging information and ranging aiming point from the ranging imaging module.

Disclosed are methods, circuits, components, apparatus, devices, assemblies and systems for imaging. According to some embodiments, there may be provided a sight for a firearm to assist in aiming the firearm towards a target in a field of view of the sight. A target view optical assembly introduces additional light information to light passing from an objective-side aperture to a viewing-side aperture. A display array assembly renders and collimates the additional light information coupled into the passing light. And a controller causes a display array of the display array assembly to dynamically render a targeting reticle, wherein a location of the dynamically rendered targeting reticle on the display is a function of a distance to an intended target.

A range-finding and ballistics effect compensating scope 804 with a ballistic effect compensating reticle aim point field 650 and ammunition adaptive aim compensation method for rifle sights or projectile weapon aiming systems includes (a) a primary aiming point 658 adapted to be sighted-in at a first selected range and (b) the locus of the RF beam for sensing range 29 to a selected target 28. When firing, the reticle's aim point field also includes a sloped array of wind dots (e.g., 660) illustrating aim points for a range of crosswind conditions. The method for compensating for a projectile's ballistic behavior permits the shooter to sense or measure the LOS range to target 29 and sense or input the slope angle 27 and local or nominal air density ballistic characteristics (e.g., air density), and then display corrected hold points.

A rangefinder having improved display capabilities. The rangefinder has a ranging system., a processor, and a display. The rangefinder may have a multi-position button for inputting data, and may also have an inertial navigation unit. The rangefinder has improved input and tracking of wind direction and speed, allowing for improved ballistic compensation for wind.

The present invention relates to a sight system incorporating offset optical components. One embodiment is a sight system supporting multiple laser beams that are used simultaneously. As such, an assembly having two clamps is provided. Each clamp can hold a laser on opposite sides of a firearm barrel. The lasers can be diametrically opposed on the barrel wherein the lasers are in plane with a projectile axis. The lasers can project at the same time to bracket the location on the target of where the projectile hit impact. In another embodiment, the assembly, again with two clamps, is adapted for use with a bow, wherein the clamps support lasers that are in plane with the projectile axis. In another embodiment, the optical component is one or more cameras, wherein reticles can be displayed on a screen to bracket a target.

A laser sighting system can be used in combination with a range finder for determining a distance to a target. An onboard ballistics computer processor in the laser sighting system calculates a trajectory and automatically rotates a pointing laser to the proper angle for causing the trajectory path of a fired projectile to intersect with the position of the target. The laser sighting system can also be used in a standalone mode wherein target distance information is input manually by the user.

A sighting device is provided, configured to aim at a target, including a sight module, a rangefinder module, and a securing mechanism configured to detachably secure the rangefinder module to the sight module. The rangefinder module is configured to determine the distance between the rangefinder module and the target. The rangefinder module is disposed on a side of the sight module and has a digital numeric display, and the distance between the rangefinder module and the target is displayed on the digital numeric display.

An optical module for an independent line of sight is capable of being arranged on a sight unit. The optical module contains at least a first mirror and at least a movably arranged second mirror. A method for converting an existing weapon station into a weapon station with an independent line of sight, a sight unit arranged with an optical module, and a weapon station embodied with a sight unit, wherein an optical module is arranged on the sight unit, are also provided.

Disclosed is an autonomous visual pointing module producing location information about a target aimed at by a user and intended to be installed on portable equipment to form a portable and autonomous visual target pointing system, the target location information being at least the target heading. The module includes: —an autonomous power supply, —control, calculation and user-interfacing electronic circuits, —a motion sensor including an inertial navigation system, INS, or an attitude heading reference system, AHRS, including gyrometers and accelerometers, —a satellite geolocation receiver, GNSS, for providing the module location in real type and continuously, —an optronic unit including a set of optical sensors of the viewfinder and/or camera type, for visually pointing the module to the aimed-at target, and a rangefinder for determining the distance between the target and the module. The gyrometers are of the fibre-optic type.
