aimpoint
Where you aim
Aimpoint is the precise spot where a shooter, archer, or targeting system directs aim in order to hit a target.
In military and tactical contexts, it accounts for factors like distance, wind, and projectile drop—the aimpoint may differ from where the target actually is.
Adjust your aimpoint two inches left to compensate for the crosswind.
Aimpoint is also a brand name for a popular line of red dot sights used on firearms.
