Abstract

A visual targeting variable range adjusting apparatus, including at least some of a housing having an optical cavity defined at least partially within the housing, wherein the optical cavity extends from an incoming image aperture to an outgoing image aperture; two or more rotationally adjustable lens holders, wherein each rotatably adjustable lens holder is rotatably positioned within at least a portion of the optical cavity, wherein at least a portion of each of the rotationally adjustable lens holder comprises a reflective surface, and wherein adjustment of at least one of the rotationally adjustable lens holders adjusts the reflective surfaces such that a target image entering the incoming image aperture is reflected by the reflective surfaces, so as to exit the outgoing image aperture at a determined offset.
