Projectile-weapon reticle with holdover aiming features for multiple projectile velocities

摘要

A reticle of a projectile-weapon aiming system such as a riflescope includes first and second series of secondary aiming marks spaced apart below a primary aiming point, the first and second series providing holdover aiming points for regularly incrementing target distances for respective subsonic and supersonic .300 AAC Blackout ammunition, or other differing types of ammunition, without requiring adjustment of the optics or settings of the aiming system.

主权项

1. A reticle for a sighting device mountable to a rifle selectively firing a subsonic ammunition and a supersonic ammunition, the reticle comprising:
a primary aiming mark providing a first supersonic aiming point for zeroing the supersonic ammunition at a first predetermined target range; a first secondary aiming mark located at a first distance below the primary aiming mark, the first secondary aiming mark providing a first subsonic aiming point for firing the subsonic ammunition at a second predetermined target range; a subsonic indicator numeral that indicates range according to at least one of yards or meters, associated with the first secondary aiming mark, appearing on one of a left side or a right side of a field of view of the sighting device when the reticle is installed therein; a second secondary aiming mark located below the first secondary aiming mark at a second distance that is different from the first distance and below the primary aiming mark, the second secondary aiming mark providing a second supersonic aiming point for firing the supersonic ammunition at a third predetermined target range that is greater than the second predetermined target range; and a supersonic indicator numeral that indicates range according to at least one of yards or meters, associated with the second secondary aiming mark, appearing on the other one of the left side or the right side of the field of view of the sighting device when the reticle is installed therein.
