Patent number: 8733647Abstract: The invention relates to a method of determining a replacement distance when taking aim on a target (2) with a target distance D (6) and an elevation angle ? (5) between a line of sight (4) to the target (2) and a horizontal plane (3) with a weapon (9) in order to fire projectiles with an approximately flat trajectory. The replacement distance is determined from the target distance D (6) by means of a correction function, and the correction function is determined exclusively from non-ballistic characteristic values and at least as a function of the target distance D (6) and the difference in angle between the elevation angle ? (5) and the shooting angle.Type: GrantFiled: April 5, 2012Date of Patent: May 27, 2014Assignee: Swarovski-Optik KG.Inventors: Konrad A. Roider, Andreas Zimmermann
