Not sure if this has been posted before. The concept is intriguing, even though it takes a lot of the fun out of things. Notice the targets they use at 1:42

Quoted: Not sure if this has been posted before. The concept is intriguing, even though it takes a lot of the fun out of things. Notice the targets they use at 1:42 http://tracking-point.com/   If you are a capable person, get out there and learn how to use your equipment. Using and becoming proficient with your equipment is, for myself anyway, the whole point. Learn how to make good hits at longer ranges by experience. Relying on an automated dummy proof weapon system to kill animals at extended range is IMO, unsporting and it robs the shooter of the experience of actually being a proficient marksman. If the use of this system is just to hit targets and not unsportingly kill animals well to each their own, no harm done, but what accomplishment is there in hitting a target that you had no role in the success of that shot? As many of the dedicated shooters here know there is a ton of experience and technical skill involved in hitting targets beyond 300 yards with consistency. Myself, I prefer to learn how not to miss by training my mind and skill set and actually missing. The technology behind this definitely has a "cool" factor but for me that's where it ends. All this said, if a no talent, unskilled shooter has the $$ to purchase this system, go for it, and forever be an unskilled monkey riding a rifle, that's always a neat story to tell your friends
