A ballistic effect compensating reticle (e.g., 200 or 300) and aim compensation method for rifle sights or projectile weapon aiming systems includes a multiple point elevation and windage aim point field (e.g., 150 or 350) including a primary aiming mark (e.g., 158 or 358) indicating a primary aimin
A ballistic effect compensating reticle (e.g., 200 or 300) and aim compensation method for rifle sights or projectile weapon aiming systems includes a multiple point elevation and windage aim point field (e.g., 150 or 350) including a primary aiming mark (e.g., 158 or 358) indicating a primary aiming point adapted to be sighted-in at a first selected range and a plurality of secondary aiming points arrayed beneath the primary aiming mark. The method for compensating for a projectile's ballistic behavior while developing a field expedient firing solution permits the shooter to express the field expedient firing solution in units of distance, (e.g., yards or meters, when describing or estimating range and nominal air density ballistic characteristics), and velocity (e.g., mph or kph, for windage hold points).
