I wonder if we are not going to see published ballistic coefficients become more accurate?

Problem is the BC's you get from this unit is from 0-100 yards. I guess for rimfires and pistols that is OK but for rifles......most bullets have not ever stabilized in that short distance.

Looks like power requirements are very reasonable-small generator you can buy would power it remotely.; 115VAC 60Hz 2.0A (North America Model) I just can't find a price. I am guessing in the $10K range though.

Will it find and retrieve ducks?
