A system, method, and device for configuring an optical aiming device for ballistic drop compensation (BDC). The optical aiming device can include a housing with a reticle pane defining a reticle display field viewable by a user and indicating a zero point, the housing further including a plurality of axially spaced lenses and defining an optical path therethrough. In various embodiments the system includes a display device configured to project an image generated from a display, a processor, and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium. The computer readable data storage medium can include instructions executable by the processor to receive a first set of ballistics input data indicating a first type of ammunition, determine a BDC pattern including at least two holdover marks corresponding to at least two ranges for the first type of ammunition, and project the BDC pattern onto the reticle display field.

An improved display provides a relative aiming point indicated in relation to a relative target icon or user selectable target reference image. A range finding device is calibrated, using a relative target, to a specific firing device having a sight, for example, a rifle having a riflescope calibrated at 100 yards, or a bow having a bow sight calibrated with a 20-yard pin. The user places the riflescope cross hairs on the point visualized in the display relative to the relative target icon. In bow mode, user places a bow sight pin, for example, the 20-yard pin, on the point visualized in the display relative to the relative target icon. The relative aiming point is separate and distinct from an absolute aiming point that may be visualized in the display relative to the visual image of the target.

A fire-control device for a small arm includes an inertial sensor unit for six degrees of freedom, a distance sensor for determining a distance to a target sighted via a sight, and a computation device for determining a target orientation of the small arm from the distance so as to be able to hit the target, the computation device being set up to detect a change in position of the small arm by way of the inertial sensor unit and to correct the target orientation using data from the inertial sensor unit.

The disclosure relates to a system comprising a viewing optic, a remote for the viewing optic, an illumination device, and a connector that couples the illumination device to the remote. In one embodiment, the disclosure further relates to a system comprising an illumination device and a viewing optic with an integrated display system.

A weapon system comprises a firearm configured for discharging ammunition having multiple projectiles and a sighting apparatus integral with the firearm. The sighting apparatus outputs a beam of light having a generally round shape. The sighting apparatus is oriented such that a centerline longitudinal axis of a barrel of the firearm extends through the beam of light. The sighting apparatus includes a light beam size selector for allowing a cross-sectional size of the beam of light at a fixed reference location external to the sighting apparatus to be selectively adjusted by a shooter of the firearm to a plurality of different cross-sectional sizes.
