US12546567 - Methods for aiming a firearm relative to a disturbed pointer and systems thereof

Aiming a firearm via a disturbed pointer is disclosed and can include receiving a mounting position of a ballistic aiming system with respect to a boresight of the firearm, a detected cant of the firearm, and a determined range to a target. An adjusted aiming solution for the target can be determined based on the mounting position, the detected cant, and the determined range. A projectable pattern of one or more elements can be generated, wherein an element of the elements can be related to a disturbed pointer corresponding to the adjusted aiming solution for the target. A light source can be controlled to output a portion of the projectable pattern of one or more elements comprising the element related to the disturbed pointer, wherein the disturbed pointer can be projected as the adjusted aiming solution for the target.

The patent describes a method for aiming a firearm that utilizes a ballistic aiming system to adjust for factors such as cant and range to a target. It involves projecting a disturbed pointer as part of a visual pattern to assist in accurately aiming at the target.

Claim 1

1 . A method for aiming, the method comprising: receiving, by an aiming computing device, a determined range to a target; determining, by the aiming computing device, an adjusted aiming solution for the target based on the determined range to the target; determining, by the aiming computing device and from among a projectable pattern comprising one or more elements, an element of the projectable pattern representing a disturbed pointer for the adjusted aiming solution for the target; and controlling, by the aiming computing device, a light source to project the element of the projectable pattern in a downrange direction towards the target. receiving, by an aiming computing device, a determined range to a target; determining, by the aiming computing device, an adjusted aiming solution for the target based on the determined range to the target; determining, by the aiming computing device and from among a projectable pattern comprising one or more elements, an element of the projectable pattern representing a disturbed pointer for the adjusted aiming solution for the target; and controlling, by the aiming computing device, a light source to project the element of the projectable pattern in a downrange direction towards the target.
