Abstract
A scope may include an adjustment dial, which may be moved among a plurality of positions to configure the scope to compensate for projectile drops. The adjustment dial may be labeled with dial-calibration data, which may include one or more distance indicators and/or one or more windage hold-off indicators. The scope may be attached to a gun, bow or crossbow and the dial-calibration data may be at least partially generated using ballistics performance data based on shots, bullets, arrows or bolts fired by the gun, bow or crossbow. The dial-calibration data may be at least partially generated using shooting conditions. A system and method for generating customized adjustment dials can incorporate ballistics, projectile, and/or shooting conditions into program. The system and method can also include a derived distance calculation module, which may be configured to use a distance to a target and actual shooting conditions to calculate a derived distance.
