Abstract

A system including a laser rangefinder determining a target distance; a riflescope comprising an adjustment mechanism for setting a target distance; and a notification device, producing a notification when the adjustment mechanism is set to a target distance corresponding to the target distance determined by the laser rangefinder.

1 . A system comprising:
 a laser rangefinder configured to determine a target distance;   a riflescope comprising an adjustment mechanism comprising a knob or turret for selecting a target distance; and   a notification device comprising a haptic device, producing a notification when the adjustment mechanism is set to a selected target distance corresponding to the target distance determined by the laser rangefinder.   
     
     
         2 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the riflescope comprises a sensor providing a first signal corresponding to the distance selected by the adjustment mechanism. 
     
     
         3 . The system of  claim 2 , wherein the laser rangefinder provides a second signal corresponding to the distance determined by the laser rangefinder. 
     
     
         4 . The system of  claim 3 , wherein the notification device is configured to produce a notification when the first signal and the second signal indicate that the distance determined by the laser rangefinder and the distance set on the adjustment mechanism by the user are substantially the same. 
     
     
         5 . The system of  claim 1 , wherein the notification device comprises a haptic device on the riflescope. 
     
     
         6 . The system of  claim 1 , further comprising a connected device connected to the riflescope, and wherein the notification device comprises a haptic device on the connected device. 
     
     
         7 . A system comprising:
 a laser rangefinder configured to determine a target distance and comprising a first network adapter;   a riflescope comprising an adjustment mechanism comprising a knob or turret for allowing a user to select a target distance and a second network adapter, wherein the first network adapter and the second network adapter are connected with a computer connection; and   a notification device comprising haptic device, producing a notification when the adjustment mechanism is set by a user to a selected target distance corresponding to the target distance determined by the laser rangefinder.   
     
     
         8 . The system of  claim 7  wherein the laser rangefinder and riflescope are connected by a wireless computer connection. 
     
     
         9 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the riflescope comprises a sensor providing a first signal corresponding to the distance selected by the adjustment mechanism. 
     
     
         10 . The system of  claim 9 , wherein the laser rangefinder provides a second signal corresponding to the distance determined by the laser rangefinder. 
     
     
         11 . The system of  claim 10 , wherein the notification device is configured to produce a notification when the first signal and the second signal indicate that the distance determined by the laser rangefinder and the distance set on the adjustment mechanism by the user are substantially the same. 
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 7 , wherein the notification device comprises a haptic device on the riflescope. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 7 , further comprising a connected device connected to the riflescope, and wherein the notification device is comprises a haptic device on the connected device. 
     
     
         14 . A system comprising:
 a laser rangefinder comprising a laser and a receiver configured to determine a target distance and providing a first signal corresponding to the determined target distance;   a riflescope comprising an adjustment mechanism comprising a knob or turret for selecting a target distance by a user and a sensor providing a second signal corresponding to the distance selected by the adjustment mechanism; and   a notification device comprising a haptic device, producing a notification when the first signal and the second signal indicate that the distance determined by the laser rangefinder and the distance set on the adjustment mechanism by the user are substantially the same.   
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the sensor is a rotational position sensor. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the laser rangefinder comprises a first network adapter and the riflescope comprises a second network adapter and the laser rangefinder and riflescope are connected with a computer connection. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 16 , wherein the laser rangefinder and riflescope are connected by a wireless computer connection. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 17 , further comprising a connected device comprising a third network adapter, wherein the laser rangefinder, the riflescope and the connected device are connected by a wireless computer connection. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 18 , wherein the notification device comprises a haptic device on the connected device. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 14 , wherein the notification device comprises a haptic device on the riflescope.
