Abstract
A reticle for a projectile weapon aiming device, such as a riflescope, includes a primary horizontal sight line that intersects a primary vertical sight line to define a primary aiming point. A circle is centered on the primary aiming point to intersect the primary horizontal and vertical sight lines. Multiple aiming marks are preferably spaced apart along the primary horizontal and vertical sight lines and cooperate with the circle and the sight lines to form horizontal and vertical scales for estimating a range to a target having features of known or estimable size. The scales also facilitate windage and holdover aiming adjustments. The circle may facilitate quick target acquisition in rapid fire engagements, as well as enhance range estimation capabilities.
