74. A ballistics calculator system for computing targeting information to hit a target, comprising a processor, said processor comprising:

a ballistics computer program for analyzing information needed to accurately aim a firearm at a target using a target acquisition device with a reticle, said program using information regarding one or more of;

a) external conditions;

b) the firearm being used;

c) the projectile being used;

d) the target acquisition device and reticle being used;

e) the shooter;

f) the relation of the shooter and the target, wherein said target can be greater than 1000 yards from the shooter;

g) the directional sensor being used; and

h) the ballistics drag model and retardation coefficient being used.
