Patent ID: 8468930

Claim:
A sight system for a projectile weapon, the system comprising: a ballistic parameter detector that measures one or more parameters that affect the ballistic flight of a projectile fired by the weapon; an adjustable point of aim indicator device that defines a point of aim of the device, wherein the point of aim indicator is adjusted automatically so that the point of aim coincides with the point of impact for a projectile fired by the weapon for a given set of parameters measured by the ballistic parameter detector; a memory wherein empirical point of aim adjustment data and correlated empirical ballistic parameters are stored, wherein the stored aim adjustment data and correlated ballistic parameters comprise data capture for successive firings of projectiles from the weapon; and a processor that, upon receiving new sensed ballistic parameters from the ballistic parameter detector, determines new point of aim indicator adjustment data based at least in part upon the stored empirical point of aim adjustment data and correlated empirical ballistic parameters and provides the new aim adjustment data to the adjustable point of aim indicator device to adjust the point of aim for the new sensed ballistic parameters.
