    Watched it, it its specs it automaticy adjusted for everything including wind, i thought how does a lazer do that?
    Then later in the vid the brother said you still have to make your own wind call.
    "Hunting and fishing" fucking over licenced firearms owners since ages ago.

    Yip, and they still gut shot a few animals, even shot that pig through ''the rear shoulders'' and missed the 1000y target all due to wind. All the technology in the world can't beat experience when it comes to shooting, especially in the wind.

    Basically its a an advanced version of the Burris Eliminater scope with an electronic trigger and nothing more...but I'd hate to imagine the price tag?

    That's a very good point you're making there. Exactly why would you need to 'paint' the target with a dot electronically (have a computer track that) and then stall the shot. Is this better than simply using a cross hair and developing good trigger control??

    Its another case of developing answers to problems that would have ironed themselves out with practice.
