TrackingPoint Announces "PGF World Records" Showcase For Smart Rifle Users

I hope this works out but a couple of the submissions by hunters using the TrackingPoint PGF are what you could call problematic, at least in terms of bolstering claims of accuracy or using an awful shot like this to help build the case that the System will lead to an an "Ethical Kill." The photo above is a screenshot from a TP video that made it's way into some of their promotional material. The Zebra is gut shot, still standing, not a good outcome for the Zebra or the hunter or the company. Maybe the guy was poorly trained or a shitty shot to begin with but this does no one or no animal or no company involved any good. NOT a Smart User of a Smart Rifle. The shot is only as accurate as the tag and the wind allows, so this is bound to happen but please give this dude a tutorial on the weapon and do not trumpet it as a success. Good to see they are still in business and have sold "hundreds" of guns although I believe that's in the low hundreds. But one eMagin display per platform so we hope things sort out. Pretty clear they have not given up on the consumer side with this PR, additionally they are advertising for a Salesman to the Carriage Trade, buyers, to whom, price is no object.
