  • Digital turret ballistic aiming system
    Patent number: 11060816
    Abstract: A method of indicating an aiming adjustment in a riflescope of a shooting device. The method includes receiving, at a controller in the riflescope, a ballistics solution signal, the ballistics solution signal corresponding to a path of a projectile to be fired from the shooting device toward a target; receiving, at the controller, a first electronic signal corresponding to a position of an elevation adjustment selector of the riflescope relative to a zero point of the elevation adjustment selector; determining, by the controller, a magnitude and a direction of an aiming adjustment based on at least the first electronic signal and the ballistics solution signal; and activating an electronic indicator to provide a notification signal to a user, the notification signal conveying the magnitude and the direction of the aiming adjustment.
    Type: Grant

  • Digital turret ballistic aiming system
    Patent number: 10767962
    Abstract: A digital turret having an adjustment selector configured to adjust a main optical axis of a riflescope relative to a bore line of a shooting device. The digital turret may be configured to determine a position of the adjustment selector relative to a zero point of the adjustment selector. The digital turret may be further configured to transmit an electronic signal corresponding to the position of the adjustment selector.
