Definitions

• the present application relates to a target device for the distance-dependent setting of a sighting line.
• a vertically pivotable to a weapon-fixed Grund ⁇ body coupled holder serves to receive a target device, which defines the sighting line.
• a locking device is provided with an adjustable (unlockable) locking element which engages in a defined adjustment range and thus fixes holder and body in different pivot positions to each other.
• Each pivot position of the target device defines a distance-dependent angle between the sight line and the axis of the weapon, so that a target is targeted, depending on the ballistic curve of the ammunition, in which the bullet track and sight line ideally intersect or come so close that the Ammunition hits in a desired target area.
• the target device used can be a sight and grain arrangement, a sighting optics, a laser device or another targeting device suitable for the particular weapon used.

• the pointer marks a specific distance indication in the selected setting range, and the shooter can immediately detect and, if necessary, change the setting range and the set target distance.
