Talk about the killer app
Now, I’ve seen a lot cool apps/attachments to go along with the iPod, which I’ve been a proud owner of since the very first one. The most recent ones, with their increased screen size and increased storage space, make for great business tools. But this has gotta be the neatest business app yet.
Before anyone gets the wrong idea, this isn’t about listening to Drowning Pool’s Bodies, aka proper mood music, although that would probably me my thing. Never been one of those trained killers with the propensity for Classical music. Nope. Not me. I’ve always been a little more intense than that. The greatness behind this little gem is two-fold. First, it has a great little app that takes into account all sorts of environmental information, distance, number of rounds, load, etc. Basically, all the things you’d otherwise have to track in your head when going for the perfect kill shot.
The funny part of this app is that you really can buy it from the iTunes store. The other cool part of this package is the ruggedized case and mounting system. This isn’t just some flimsy Belkin case you’d buy from Target (ha ha ha, couldn’t resist). After all, you’d hate to get to your destination only to find that you have to set down your iPod just to steady your shot. Na ah, you want it so you can view it with your peripheral vision. Right?
Anyway, I saw this and simply thought it was cool. Where I live, I’ve got to deal with foxes eating the chickens and ducks. There have been a few occasions where I’ve seen them in the distance. And we do get cougars too. I’ve been trying to talk the wife into some new firearms and I think I’ve found a good one. For just $6,200, you too can have this really nice M93 Sniper Rifle from Gunbroker.com.
Think she’ll let me have it?
I’m thinking no.
Really is there *anyone* who would buy this?! It seems a bit…. ridiculous to me. LOL
EE: Absolutely! I can think of a half dozen friends of mine who would love to have this. But they all live in big cities. None of them have the practical need like me.
I would love of of these. MMMmmmm consistant 2000+ meter hits. I really enjoy long distance target shooting but for an average joe, the system as a whole seems a bit to much like work. Seems perfect for military/law enforcement though. I am sure the whole rig is going for a bucket load of cash then tack on a $5.00 or more per shot and its instantly out of my price range.
Kevin: LOL! Great point about the rounds. One of the reasons I’ve been a big fan of 9mms is the cost of the ammo. When I was still in the Navy, I never really put any thought into the cost of .50 caliber rounds. They were free and basically unlimited. The good ole days
Hi Mike,
You must have some big foxes over there. Thought about a 6.5 Grendel?

Are you kidding, Stuart? I’m still trying to get a pellet gun! LOL! How ya’ been? I was asking Kris about you recently. I hope you’ve been well.
Well, most of the time anyway.
Are you going to NAB in April.
