I’m not concerned. I’m just stating my opinion on the tech. I said that this doesn’t make the bullet track, it just automates the point of aim. It’s cool tech, but in my opinion, it’s not sporting for hunting. Sitting in a tree stand in 20 degree weather trying to keep your fingers warm is part of the allure of the sport to me. That’s the “hunt.” Using .338 Lapua to take a buck at 1000 yards, while impressive, isn’t practical or ethical.

Again, all my opinion.

I don't see how what you expressed is different using this tech or using a highly skilled marksman. All this tech is controls the release timing and elevation. It still is the same lack of control after the firing. The shooter in either case has the ability to wait to shoot if it appears a target is moving or about to move.

This type of shooting isn't my thing either, but our military does have need to do this type of shooting. This tech may bring more successful missions due to allowing more shooters be capable of those shots. The guys with more money than sense, help fund this technology. I like that over pure taxpayer funding for the development.
