Ah. So freedom is about only doing things that align with your political views, is it?
The setup is nice enough... but honestly equivalent hardware (minus the electronic trigger and with a conventional scope) can be purchased for about 1/4 (or less) of that much $$$... and that difference in $$$ could pay for a *lot* of practice time. Which one would still need, because it can't (yet) measure the varying wind speeds down range. Calculate, yes. Measure, no. That still either takes a Mk 1 Mod 0 eyeball and a fair amount experience, or a laser anemometer (which last I checked aren't exactly man-portable as of yet).
