  • Patent number: 12644671
    Abstract: A method for setting a sighting device with a telescopic sight and an attachment device is provided. The attachment device includes a display, a control element, and a non-transitory computer-readable storage medium, and is connected to the telescopic sight such that the display can be observed through the telescopic sight. The method includes displaying a center marking at a center position on the display and activating a first interaction mode, in which the center position of the center marking can be shifted into a new center position by operating at least one control element, displaying a circular marking and activating the second interaction mode, in which the size of the circular marking is changeable by operating at least one control element, and storing display information regarding the new center position and the size of the circular marking in the non-transitory computer-readable storage device.
