US12339100 - Auxiliary aiming device

An auxiliary aiming device includes a main body, a digital sight with a digital rearsight, and a ballistic compensation system. The digital sight and the ballistic compensation system are arranged at the main body. The ballistic compensation system includes a range finder, a main control unit, an image processor, an image sensor and a display device. The range finder is configured to measure the target distance data of a shooting target and send the target distance data to the main control unit. The main control unit is configured to calculate a ballistic compensation based on the target distance data and a calibrated data scale, send the ballistic compensation to the image processor, and superimpose a recommended aiming position from the image processor onto a target image which is displayed on the display device. The image sensor is configured to obtain a target image.

The auxiliary aiming device features a digital sight and a ballistic compensation system that calculates and displays a recommended aiming position based on target distance data. The method for calibrating the digital rearsight involves determining new combinations of the device and ballistic trajectories, followed by calibrating data scales for various shooting distances.
