The invention relates to an aiming device for weapons whose targets are disposed at changing distances and whose fired projectiles follow a curved trajectory. The aiming device calculates the distance from the weapon to the target. The calculated distance is used as a basis for correcting the point of aim with allowance for the ballistical trajectory, the latter being dependent upon the particular weapon and particular ammunition used. To correct the point of aim, a storage medium storing the ballistic trajectory correlates the range-finding data with the ballistic trajectory data. The resulting signal actuates a row of diodes which are reflected into the beam path of the optical system. Depending upon the range and the trajectory, a particular diode of the row lights up and is brought into registration with the target.

A device to assist a person in aiming a weapon whose target can be disposed at changing distances and whose projectile follows a curved trajectory comprising: (a) an optical system disposed on the weapon for the person to view the target along a beam path; (b) range finder means for calculating the distance from the weapon to the target; (c) interchangeable storage means communicating with the range finder means for correlating the distance calculated by the range finder means with ballistic trajectory data stored in the storage means to produce a corresponding signal; and (d) indicator means communicating with the storage means and having a plurality of indicators positioned at a predetermined location so as to be reflected into the beam path, and for one preselected indicator to be actuated by the signal such that the point of aim along the beam path and the point of impact of the projectile are brought into the registration with one another, wherein a predetermined maximum firing range is stored in the storage means, and wherein the preselected indicator lights up continuously in the case of calculated ranges up to the maximum range and blinks when the maximum range is exceeded.
