Abstract: A turret display device is used for rapidly zeroing a riflescope. The turrets on an improved riflescope provide a turret position signal. A display of the turret display device comprises turret display cross hairs displayed relative to a target icon. When the turret display device receives a turret position signal, turret display cross hairs move to show the relative movement as indicated by the received turret position signal. When a distance is processed by the turret display device, the turret display cross hairs move to show an aiming point relative to a target icon based on the current zero of the riflescope. A computing element captures a first image and later captures a second image and compares the two images to determine a change. In some embodiments the change is used to automatically zero the riflescope. In some embodiments the change and the range is used to automatically determine an aiming point.

Abstract: An improved display provides a relative aiming point indicated in relation to a relative target icon or user selectable target reference image. A range finding device is calibrated, using a relative target, to a specific firing device having a sight, for example, a rifle having a riflescope calibrated at 100 yards, or a bow having a bow sight calibrated with a 20-yard pin. The user places the riflescope cross hairs on the point visualized in the display relative to the relative target icon. In bow mode, user places a bow sight pin, for example, the 20-yard pin, on the point visualized in the display relative to the relative target icon. The relative aiming point is separate and distinct from an absolute aiming point that may be visualized in the display relative to the visual image of the target.

Abstract: An improved display provides information regarding a projectile trajectory so that a user is informed whether or not there is a clear shot. In some embodiments, an intermediate point in the projectile trajectory is an aiming point and is indicated in relation to the visualized target or target reference. The rangefinder device is calibrated to a weapon having a sight, for example, having a riflescope calibrated at 100 yards. The aiming point is displayed showing the intermediate point in the projectile trajectory that corresponds with riflescope cross hairs at a predetermined zero setting. The user places the riflescope cross hairs on the point visualized in the rangefinder device. Alternatively, the aiming point is displayed relative to the magnified image of the target, a generic reference image, or a user selectable reference images.

Abstract: An easy to use, reliable, easy to repair, universal, simple, lightweight, compact, portable, multi-use modular system of poles and interconnections. An operator configures a number of structures using brackets, supports, segmented shafts, and interconnection components. The segmented shafts have both the ability to make an attachment to retain a particular configuration while being able to break down the shafts for transportation or storage. Some embodiments include a sleeve that protects the tip of a pole and provide a cushion and separation between a pole and a ferrule thereby reducing breakage and increase reliability. Broken components are easily replaced in the field. The configuration of the structure is changed by the user to quickly adapt to changing needs. Multiple components can be carried by separate members of a group and combined together to form a more complex structure to meet the needs of the group.
