The one or more laser emitters 5 includes a first laser emitter operable in a first mode for emitting an optical signal toward the target a second mode for projecting a first beam onto the target. The processor is coupled to a computer readable memory encoded with executable instructions and is configured, upon execution of the executable instructions, to calculate a distance to the target based on a time of flight of the optical signal. In a further aspect, a method of 10 using a combined range finding and sighting apparatus is provided. FIG. 1000 W 0 0 1-) 00 '-I R I1-I 7'-I CN 00 '0n 0'0 r4-
