Anyone heard of tracking Point?

Came across these today and they look pretty cool.

I rate Stag right below DelTon for quality

I believe Jester has actually worked with them. I could have sworn they showed a Tracking Point rifle system in the previews for the movie Hunter Killer, but the IMFDB doesn't say anything about it. It's a new movie so maybe they aren't up to date yet.

"The Mi6 is image stabilized enabling shooters to make off-hand shots just as stable as if using a gun rest."

Ummm.... That kind of statement isn't going to build credibility with people who actually shoot. I need to figure out how to either get into an ad agency that has some firearms accounts or help an ad agency win some firearm accounts.

My understanding is that it takes your motion into account and won't actually fire until it's lined up properly.

I assumed as much, but image stabilization through the optic does not equal a steady rifle. Without some sort of rifle steadiness, you're not going to have the follow through required to make accurate shots at the distances that would make the Tracking Point system worthwhile. The TP systems aren't cheap, and it's not terribly difficult to train someone to make hits with much cheaper scopes out to 300+ yards.

I can guess at what they mean by such a statement, but it should probably be worded better.

If Tracking Point wants to get everyone's attention, they should have a factory team compete in the Precision Rifle Series. If they dominate, they'll sell lots of product.

As far as I know, the Tracking Point system doesn't measure wind conditions over the distance to target. (I could be wrong.) With all that fancy tech, you're still relying on an accurate wind call or you'll still miss your shot. In service rifle competition, there are thousands of guys who have a great steady hold and can properly break shots at the 600 yard line. The number of competitors who can accurately call the wind for a first shot X and never miss a wind change is substantially smaller.

This talks more about it.

In that link they also say who their target audience is. It's someone who doesn't have the time to necessarily master all the fundamentals.

I work with them for the lithium secondary cells that provide systems energy. It’s an amazing product that comes with even more amazing price. The back story of how the system came to being is fascinating and I’ll share if anyone is interested
