1. A method, comprising:
- providing, by an electronic scope connected to a rifle, a point of aim that is visible through the electronic scope to show where the rifle is aimed on a target;
determining, by the electronic scope, a location of the point of aim on the target before a bullet is fired from the rifle;
determining, by the electronic scope, an impact location of the bullet on the target after the bullet is fired from the rifle;
determining, by the electronic scope, a difference between the location of the point of aim on the target and a location of the impact location on the target; and
moving, by the electronic scope, the point of aim that is visible through the electronic scope so the location of the point of aim on the target aligns with the impact location of the bullet on the target.

Abstract
A point of aim shows where a weapon is aimed on a target. An electronic device determines an impact location on the target of a projectile fired from the weapon, determines a distance from the point of aim to the impact location, and moves the point of aim in order to sight the weapon to the target.

9. An electronic scope, comprising:
-
a memory that store instructions; a display that communicates with the memory; and a processor that executes the instructions to display on the display a point of aim that shows where a handheld firearm connected to the electronic scope is aimed on a target, to detect an impact location on the target of a bullet fired from the handheld firearm, to calculate a distance and a direction between the point of aim on the target and the impact location of the bullet on the target, and to move the point of aim based on the distance and the direction in order to sight the electronic scope such that subsequent bullets fired from the handheld firearm impact locations at the point of aim. - View Dependent Claims (10, 11, 12, 13, 14, 15)

16. A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing instructions that cause one or more processors to execute a method, comprising:
-
obtain a distance from a firearm to a target; display on a display of an electronic scope connected to the firearm a point of aim that shows where the firearm is aimed on a target; detect a miss location adjacent to the target where a bullet fired from the firearm missed the target; calculate a distance and a direction between the point of aim on the target and the miss location where the bullet missed the target; create an adjusted point of aim by moving the point of aim based on the distance from the firearm to the target, the distance between the point of aim on the target and the miss location where the bullet missed the target, and the direction between the point of aim on the target and the miss location; and display the adjusted point of aim on the display of the electronic scope. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20)
