When target shooting a spotting scope is essential, but the OCAT System Advanced Long Range Marksmanship System could be a game changer. This system can be used at home with a laser mode, or at the rifle/pistol range with live ammunition and can be used to up to a mile.
This system works by incorporating a spotting scope with a special camera, which then connects to a conversion box and PC. This system can run several targets, and pan the scope up to 140 degrees with 15 degrees of elevation or depression. This system eliminates the need for spotters, as shooters can see the hits on the actual targets on the computer screen, and lets sport shooters track firearm and ammunition performance, while providing shooters a way to accurately and instantly learn how to read the effects of wind and mirage on long shots.
We missed Meopta USA at SHOT Show last month, but we heard about the MeoPix mount that the company introduced at the show. This is an adapter that allows an iPhone to be attached to a spotting scope essentially making an iScope. The handset connects easily to ultra-zoom scopes so users can record video or take photos of their shots. This makes for a very clever way to review your shots at the range.
