Abstract
A self-correcting scope compares the original aim point of a projectile discharge device with the actual impact point and self-corrects the scope to account for the offset between these two points. The scope uses a typical optical lens which converts the incoming image to a digital image which is displayed by the invention on a digital display device which functions as the “eyepiece” of the scope. The invention also compresses the image either to the left or to the right or both of the field of interest in order to allow a shooter to be able to detect an intrusion into the field on interest from a point farther than can be achieved in a non-compressed image.
