Check it out. This is a real idea being developed as we speak. Do you think it would work?

Well I've got to say I just got so excited I jumped out of my chair, but at the same time it kinda takes away from the romance of the sniper. EVERYTHING's becoming computerized these days. *Throws up hands*

Well it would make things alot easier on the marksman. But in the end, electronics have bugs, so the sniper should be trained for manual operation also.

i think that it is cool and all.... but our country (USA(the best)) is already in debt and i don't think that giving every sniper team a iphone/ipod touch is a great idea.... until we have the money to back it up.

But it has happened Alabama! I know people that use this app over seas and for target shooting and hunting over here in the US. It's a very viable application. Whats the app that you got for airsoft Lone wolf?

Yeah just because we are in debt does not mean we shouldn't be indebted more!

I actually think this is a great thing for the sniper teams of every branch, why would you want to read confusing distance charts when you could have a tool that calculated it? I also think the Military has been doing this for some time, however they used laptops with programs before, not ipods.... I am trying to get this app, and I don't even shoot that often!

LW what app did you get? I might have to look into that too!
