1. A reticle, comprising:
- a) a first horizontal cross-hair;
b) a first vertical cross-hair that intersects said first horizontal cross-hair;
c) two or more second vertical lines on said first horizontal cross-hair;
d) two or more second horizontal lines on said first vertical cross-hair above the intersection of said first horizontal cross-hair and said first vertical cross-hair;
e) four or more simultaneously visible second horizontal cross-hairs of graduated length on said first vertical cross-hair below said intersection of said first horizontal cross-hair and said first vertical cross-hair, and three or more wind markings to the left and to the right of said four or more simultaneously visible second horizontal cross-hairs of graduated length on said first vertical cross-hair below said intersection of said first horizontal cross-hair and said first vertical cross-hair wherein said wind markings are dots or crosses;
wherein said wind markings to the left and to the right of said four or more simultaneously visible second horizontal cross-hairs of graduated length on said first vertical cross-hair below said intersection of said first horizontal cross-hair and said first vertical cross-hair are evenly spaced at predetermined distances;
wherein said predetermined distances are graduated with the distance of said simultaneously visible second horizontal cross-hairs of graduated length on said first vertical cross-hair below said intersection of said first horizontal cross-hair and said first vertical cross-hair from said below said first horizontal cross-hair;
f) four or more simultaneously visible second horizontal cross-hairs of identical length on said first vertical cross-hair at predetermined even distances below said intersection of said first horizontal cross-hair and said first vertical cross-hair; and
g) two or more simultaneously visible second vertical cross-hairs at predetermined distances on said four or more simultaneously visible second horizontal cross-hairs of identical length on said first vertical cross-hair at predetermined even distances below said intersection of said first horizontal cross-hair and said first vertical cross-hair, wherein an intersection of at least one of said two or more simultaneously visible second vertical cross-hairs and at least one of said four or more simultaneously visible second horizontal cross-hairs of identical length on said first vertical cross-hair at predetermined even distances below said intersection of said first horizontal cross-hair and said first vertical cross-hair provides an aiming point; and
wherein said four or more simultaneously visible second horizontal cross-hairs of graduated length on said first vertical cross-hair below said intersection of said first horizontal cross-hair and said first vertical cross-hair are above said four or more simultaneously visible second cross-hairs of identical length on said first vertical cross-hair at predetermined even distances below said intersection of said first horizontal cross-hair and said first vertical cross-hair.
