1. A reticle for a projectile weapon aiming system, comprising:

  • a primary aiming mark indicating a primary aiming point adapted to be sighted-in at a first selected range;

    a plurality of secondary aiming marks spaced progressively increasing incremental distances below the primary aiming point and indicating corresponding secondary aiming points along a vertical axis intersecting the primary aiming mark, the secondary aiming points positioned to compensate for ballistic drop at preselected regular incremental ranges beyond the first selected range for a group of ammunition having similar ballistic characteristics; and

    a set of windage aiming marks spaced apart along a secondary horizontal axis intersecting a selected one of the secondary aiming points, the set of windage aiming marks including at least(a) first and second windage aiming marks spaced apart to the left of the vertical axis at distances from the vertical axis selected to compensate for leftward crosswinds of preselected first and second incremental velocities, respectively, at the range of said selected secondary aiming point, and(b) third and fourth windage aiming marks spaced apart to the right of the vertical axis at distances from the vertical axis selected to compensate for rightward crosswinds of preselected third and fourth incremental velocities equal and opposite the respective first and second incremental velocities of the leftward crosswinds, at the range of said selected secondary aiming point,the reticle thereby facilitating aiming compensation for ballistics and windage for two or more preselected incremental crosswind velocities, at one or more preselected incremental ranges.
