Abstract
An improved shooting system is provided by using a firearm having a telescopic gunsight mounted a predetermined distance above the barrel in conjunction with a computer including a controller, memory; a program stored in memory for calculating targeting information. The computer can be a hand-held, personal digital assistant type device which enables the user to input information regarding weather, gun and ammunition characteristics, and target information, including range to target, and which quickly calculates the adjustments which need to be made to a conventional scope, or the location on the reticle which should be used as an aiming point, in order to hit the target.
