Apparatus and method for calculating aiming point information

Abstract

The present invention relates to target acquisition and related devices, and more particularly to telescopic gunsights and associated equipment used to achieve shooting accuracy at, for example, close ranges, medium ranges and extreme ranges at stationary and moving targets.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A ballistics calculator system for computing targeting information to hit a target, comprising a processor, said processor comprising: a ballistics computer program for analyzing information needed to accurately aim a firearm at a target using a target acquisition device with a reticle, said program using information regarding one or more of: a) external conditions; b) the firearm being used; c) the projectile being used; d) the target acquisition device and reticle being used; e) the shooter; f) the relation of the shooter and the target, wherein said target can be greater than 1000 yards from the shooter; g) the directional sensor being used; and h) the ballistics drag model and retardation coefficient being used.
