Duration: 3:39

This video introduces the TrackingPoint Precision Guided Firearm (PGF), a system designed to make long-range shooting more accessible. It integrates a network tracking scope with a laser rangefinder, environmental sensors, and an automatic ballistic calculator. The system calculates a firing solution, displayed as a red dot and a blue 'X' on a heads-up display. The shooter aligns the 'X' with the target, and the guided trigger only fires when optimal alignment is achieved, removing human error factors like range estimation, environmental assessment, and jitter. The PGF also features Wi-Fi connectivity for streaming and recording shots, allowing for remote mentoring and post-shot analysis.

Quick Summary

The TrackingPoint Precision Guided Firearm (PGF) integrates a network tracking scope with environmental sensors, a laser rangefinder, and an automatic ballistic calculator. It uses a guided trigger system that only allows the firearm to discharge when the shooter has optimally aligned the targeting reticle with the calculated firing solution, enabling accurate long-range shots.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the TrackingPoint Precision Guided Firearm (PGF) unique?

The PGF integrates a network tracking scope with environmental sensors, a laser rangefinder, and an automatic ballistic calculator. It uses a guided trigger system that only allows the firearm to discharge when the shooter has optimally aligned the targeting reticle with the calculated firing solution.

How does the TrackingPoint PGF system help shooters achieve long-range accuracy?

It removes common human errors by automatically calculating range, environmental factors (temperature, pressure, wind), and ballistic effects. The system then guides the shooter to align a reticle, ensuring a precise shot placement on the first attempt.

Can the TrackingPoint PGF system record and share shots?

Yes, the PGF features a Wi-Fi server that allows users to stream live video from the scope to a smartphone or tablet. It also records each shot sequence, which can be downloaded via an app for review, practice, or sharing online.

What are the key components of the TrackingPoint Precision Guided Firearm?

The core components include a bolt-action rifle, precision-loaded ammunition, and a network tracking scope. The scope itself contains a laser rangefinder, temperature and pressure sensors, an automatic ballistic calculator, a tracking engine, and a heads-up display with a guided trigger.
