US12405086 - Adjustable reticles for sighting operations, and related methods, apparatus, and sight devices

The present disclosure relates to adjustable reticles for sighting operations, and related methods, apparatus, and sight devices. In one or more embodiments, a sight device includes an illuminator. The illuminator includes a first illuminator section operable to illuminate a first section of a reticle, and a second illuminator section operable to illuminate a second section of the reticle radially outwardly of the first section. An outer dimension of the first section is a first ratio of an inner dimension of the second section, and the first ratio is less than 1:3.

The patent describes a sight device featuring an illuminator with two sections designed to illuminate different areas of a reticle, allowing for enhanced sighting operations. The dimensions of these sections are proportionally related, with a specified ratio of less than 1:3 between the outer dimension of the first section and the inner dimension of the second section.
