Abstract: A ballistic correction device for sight members (of weapons) provided with an elevation adjustment turret is described. In particular, the device comprises detecting means, outside of the turret, to detect the rotations imparted by the shooter to the adjustment ring of the elevation turret, and displaying means to display the shooting distance and/or other shooting settings corresponding to the position the ring assumed. The device displays, for the shooter, the calibration of the turret from the moment the shooter observes the device. The shooter is no longer required to keep in mind the last calibration carried out. In the step of carrying out a new calibration, it is no longer necessary to consult the compensation tables, but simply to read the values displayed on the device as the ring of the turret is being rotated. A method for correcting the elevation of the weapon is further described.
