Just another tool in the toolbox.
Ya don’t “dumb down” a sniper.

When I was shooting tournaments in the Marines (long time ago) we were shooting at 600 yards without a scope. With that being said, I wouldn’t mind having one of these fancy doodads to play with...

The military has been dumbing down people for years. Started with the Clinton Administration, with training costs taking a back seat. Todays technicians can’t fix anything. That’s why the Navy ship’s always need to call tech reps to get things fixed. I still get feedback from some of my ex-navy buddies who are todays tech reps. They say it is awful out there, but good job security for them. I served 22 years and never had to call a tech rep for assistance. I always had a good crew and kept them trained. My daughter just retired from the navy, and she tells me that formal training is non-existant. Self paced online courses is what passes for training now days. Short sighted and foolish. Seems like the only branch that has maintained standards is the Marine Corp.
