Wind, Mirage, Barrel Time, recoil control, ammo to rifle fit (ES/SD), and the list goes on and on

Very impressive piece of equipment. That said good luck picking out that 12.5 MPH wind at 1000Y hunting.

Somebody went to a lot of trouble building something no one will buy.

The optical system isn’t new; Barrett’s B.O.R.S. has been on the market for over three years and sells for less than $2K.

These optics are great for a ELR targeting solution but for a rifle? Overkill with a capital O.

The video states what’s required from the shooter as far as the wind input, so Tracking Point is upfront about that. And if you think it’s too expensive, then don’t buy one. I think it’s very cool technology.

Tracking Point Systems are grossly overpriced for gadgets that DO NOT adjust for wind. “the Tracking Point system does not sense the wind speed or direction. Wind values must be detected by the shooter and entered manually.”

Editor: The TrackingPoint system DOES compensate for wind, via its built-in ballistics computer. However, the speed of the wind, and its direction still have to be ascertained. Once you determine wind speed and direction, then you input that into the device. It then automatically moves the X-reticle right or left, as it moves the X up or down to adjust for the bullet’s trajectory at different distances.
