    Necromancy time.

    I am going to demo this tomorrow, as my store is becoming a Tracking Point dealer. The demo gun is the full house Krieger/Surgeon/AI AX model in .300 Win Mag. I'm looking forward to trying it out.

    I'm of the opinion that this technology will be fairly standard in 20 years or less, provided it is durable enough.

    If the gun goes dry I use my knife. If the knife breaks off I use my teeth. I have only one rule - Start one job and see it through - The universe will have to offer someone else the leftovers. Multi tasking doesn't work in business or in gunfighting.

    Just out of curiosity, is this system of any use against moving targets? How about with 25-45 mph crosswinds on shots out to 1000m? If it is, great! If not, I don't see this having much utility. The hardest thing for any marksman to hit is a moving target or targets in high wind across distance.

    Judging from the US Drone program I believe you are correct.

    But staying on topic if it has real utility for experienced Army sniper teams or Marine S/S I would support the concept. But definitely not as a crutch for individual marksmanship.
