Disclosed are techniques for determining an aiming adjustment amount, in terms of both vertical and horizontal aiming adjustments, to shoot a target at a target range by iteratively solving for the projectile trajectory (e.g., projectile drop or path and deflection) such that the iteratively calculated projectile trajectory is determined to pass through the target location within a predetermined threshold amount (e.g., at a projectile path calculation of about zero). Also disclosed are techniques for indicating whether a projectile has supersonic, transonic, or subsonic speed at a given range.
In a projectile-trajectory determining system providing an aiming adjustment amount that is initially determined based on a line of sight intersecting a preselected zero range, a method of determining a ballistic solution to shoot a target located at a target location at a target range that is different from the preselected zero range, the method comprising:
