Abstract
A target acquisition device that can determine a ballistics solution based on parabola characteristics. The parabola characteristics can be modeled in UI coordinates on the y-axis (e.g., pixels, mm, . . . ) and physical coordinates (e.g., feet, yards, meters, . . . ) on the x-axis. Zeroing data can be leveraged that establishes high quality reference points for two or more zeroed distances such that high quality ballistics solutions can be determined for other suitable (e.g., non-zeroed) distances as a function of parabola modeling techniques.
