Abstract
This invention discloses a method for correcting the point of aim in riflescopes or other optical weapon sights. The point of aim is corrected by attaching one or more corrector wedge prisms in front of the riflescope. Each wedge prism shifts the point of aim by a predetermined amount such as 5 cm at 100 m or 10 cm at 100 m, etc. A shooter can zero-in his rifle by first firing a set of test shots to determine how far off the bullets hit from the desired point of impact. He then selects one or more wedge prisms supplied with the riflescope and attaches them to the front (objective side) of the riflescope. The wedge prisms shift the riflescope's point of aim and bring it in alignment with the rifle's point of impact.
