Claim 10:
11. A system for configuring a reticle display field of an aiming device comprising:
a housing including an objective lens and eyepiece portion configured to present a down-range image and the reticle display field through the eyepiece portion;
a display device configured to display a digital reticle image in the reticle display field and indicating a zero point corresponding to a first known range;
a magnification sensor configured to produce an output signal that indicates a magnification setting for the aiming device;
a network adapter;
a processor and a non-transitory computer readable storage medium coupled with the processor; wherein the computer readable storage medium includes instructions, executable by the processor, to cause the optical aiming device to:
receive a first set of ballistics input data regarding a first ammunition and one or more first target ranges from a client device via the network adapter;
determine a ballistic trajectory for the first ammunition;
determine, using the ballistic trajectory, a BDC pattern including one or more holdover marks corresponding to the one or more target ranges along the ballistic trajectory greater than a first known range indicated by the zero point;
determining a first magnification setting;
determining a first design for the reticle display field based on the first magnification setting;
project, using the display device, the first design for the reticle display field and the BDC pattern onto the reticle display field including the one or more holdover marks.
