  • Modular sighting assembly and method
    Patent number: 9857143
    Abstract: A laser sighting system can be used in combination with a range finder for determining a distance to a target. An onboard ballistics computer processor in the laser sighting system calculates a trajectory and automatically rotates a pointing laser to the proper angle for causing the trajectory path of a fired projectile to intersect with the position of the target. The laser sighting system can also be used in a standalone mode wherein target distance information is input manually by the user.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: October 26, 2016
    Date of Patent: January 2, 2018
    Assignee: Wilcox Industries Corp.
    Inventors: James W. Teetzel, Gary M. Lemire, Marvin S. Carter, III, Daryl Francis, Dean B. Killam, Jansen Habrial
