Digital turret ballistic aiming system

1. A method of indicating an aiming adjustment in a riflescope of a shooting device, the method comprising:

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, the activating the electronic indicator comprising activating a visual element in a reticle of the riflescope, the activating the visual element comprising numerically indicating on a vertical crosshair of the reticle a number of clicks of an elevation adjustment dial of the riflescope to implement a vertical component of the aiming adjustment, each click corresponding to a preset amount of rotative displacement of the elevation adjustment dial, the activating the visual element further comprising numerically indicating on a horizontal crosshair of the reticle a number of clicks of a windage adjustment dial of the riflescope to implement a horizontal component of the aiming adjustment, each click corresponding to a preset amount of rotative displacement of the windage adjustment dial, the activating the visual element further comprising pictorially indicating on the horizontal crosshair a rotative direction to turn the windage adjustment dial of the riflescope to implement the horizontal component of the aiming adjustment.

2. The method of claim 1 , in which the activating the visual element further comprises pictorially indicating on the vertical crosshair a rotative direction to turn the elevation adjustment dial of the riflescope to implement the vertical component of the aiming adjustment.

3. A method of indicating an aiming adjustment in a riflescope of a shooting device, the method comprising:

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, the activating the electronic indicator comprising activating a visual element in a reticle of the riflescope, the activating the visual element comprising numerically displaying on a vertical crosshair of the reticle an angular correction to implement a vertical component of the aiming adjustment.

4. The method of claim 3 , in which activating the visual element further comprises pictorially indicating on the vertical crosshair a rotative direction to turn an elevation adjustment dial of the riflescope to implement the vertical component of the aiming adjustment.

5. A method of indicating an aiming adjustment in a riflescope of a shooting device, the method comprising:

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, the activating the electronic indicator comprising activating a visual element in a reticle of the riflescope, the activating the visual element comprising numerically displaying on the horizontal crosshair of the reticle an angular correction to implement a horizontal component of the aiming adjustment.

6. The method of claim 5 , in which activating the visual element further comprises pictorially indicating on the horizontal crosshair a rotative direction to turn a windage adjustment dial of the riflescope to implement the horizontal component of the aiming adjustment.

7. The method of claim 1 , further comprising receiving, at the controller, a second electronic signal corresponding to a position of a windage adjustment selector of the riflescope relative to a zero point of the windage adjustment selector, in which determining the magnitude and the direction of the aiming adjustment is based on at least the first electronic signal, the second electronic signal, and the ballistics solution signal.
