Abstract (en)
A reticle of a projectile weapon aiming system, such as a scope for a rifle, includes a ranging system using a predetermined theoretical target image (51, 53) in circular form and size such as to represent a target, such as an animal, wherein the target images would represent the size of that target at different multiple distances. The target images are placed at specific position on the reticle below or above the zero point (50) of the reticle representing the holdover area, inside of which is the actual hold over point, which may be indicated for that target at that designated distance, for a specific projectile with predetermined ballistic performance. This ranging system eliminates the need for range calculations and scope adjustments to correlate to that range. Additionally specific wind calculations (54, 55) may be marked and designated for different wind speeds adjacent to the different target images.
