A new option for blowing your lottery winnings

Re: A new option for blowing your lottery winnings

Wonder if the tag sticks to moving targets?

I got to play around with it last weekend at the Dallas SC show. Pretty neat - but takes all the fun out of working your dope up and seeing how well you did.

They have the strong sell on this here at SHOT. No idea what the price is. It seems once you "tag" the target you hold the trigger down while you "track" the target, once you line everything up, the rifle is discharged.

You can stream the shot live to every social media imaginable....

Depending on your point of view, it's either the ultimate long range hunting rig or the world's most lethal video game....
 
.338 Lapua Magnum with an effective range of only 1200 meters. Seems like the system still has some limitations and can't outshoot a good shooter (yet).

Also, the shooter would still have to have some sort of steady position and follow through.
 
I have shot these rifles some here in Oklahoma and while I have not shot them in heavy mirage it is an optical system that would be affected by mirage.
I can say that neither a stabile position nor follow through are needed. From an unstabile position the rifle will surprise break based upon calculations regarding movement of crosshairs towards the tracking laser. The bullet has exited the system prior to the shooter's reaction. We have tried to fool it but as long as you hold the trigger and move into the target it will hit.
A good example is a video that was filmed through the scope of Brett Boyd shopting an antelope at about 900 yards in africa. He tagged the animal, ID'd with the PH, and killed the antelope at 900ish yards with the rifle resting on an unstabile single point rest. In the through the scope video the crosshairs move the entire time but you see the bullet impact the laser spot on the animal.
