Is the tracking point scope just a scope?


Asked by Hank Church on Dec 11, 2021 FAQ



Contrary to what some (who obviously have never seen it in person) say, TrackingPoint is not just a scope. TrackingPoint is in fact, an applied technologies firm offering a fully integrated, precision guided firearm system to well-healed, big-game hunters but, there are obvious law enforcement and military applications.
Also Know,
Tracking is the scope’s ability to repeatedly and predictably adjust the point of impact. The simplest way I know of explaining it is to explain how to test for it. There is an old scope tracking test called “shooting the box.” To shoot the box, you want to have a good shooter with a good rifle and ideal conditions.
Furthermore, The TrackingPoint scope allows the shooter to "tag" a target by placing a red dot on it within the crosshairs. Even when the safety is off and the shooter's finger pulls the trigger, the rifle will only fire when the crosshairs are locked on the red dot, making it relatively easy for even an inexperienced shooter to hit a target at long range.
Just so,
You could use a toggle button to input wind speed into TrackingPoint’s scope, but winds are rarely consistent. (It is accounting for such variables that separates amateurs long-range shooters from the pros.) This illustration from TrackingPoint shows how its shooting system worked. TrackingPoint was founded as a tech company in Austin, Texas.
Indeed,
The Networked Tracking Scope adds almost three pounds to the rifle. With the tag button atop the optic, offhand shooting and tagging is nearly impossible. It’s simply too difficult to hold a 10- or 11-pound rifle up with one hand and keep it still enough to effectively place the white dot on your target while you also press the tag button.
