By "tagging" the ideal shot through the rifle scope before firing, shooters may never miss again
TrackingPoint's Intelligent Digital Tracking Scopes
Taking the "sport" out of "sport shooting" and the "man" out of
"marksman," a company called TrackingPoint has developed what it calls
“Intelligent Digital Tracking Scopes” for use on its “Precision Guided
Firearms.” The latter is something of a misnomer, as neither the
munition itself nor the firearm is guided, but the shooter is--sort of.
TrackingPoint’s technology allows a shaky shooter to digitally tag a
target through the optic, which then won’t let the firearm discharge
until it is lined up perfectly on the target.
In other words, once you tag the target with the scope you can’t
miss. At least that’s the claim. Technologically speaking, there seems
to be little reason that claim doesn’t hold up if it indeed works as
advertised (see video below). The company is developing three rifles
with integrated intelligent scopes, two for tactical use and one hunting
model...
