I guess that your state hasn’t gotten around to requiring “smart guns” yet, like the poor coasties will have to suffer with soon.

I hadn't heard of those electronic rifles for sometime, I thought they completely flopped.

Kenny Jerret had a 6MM w/electronic ignition at the Super Shoot a few years ago. His beef jerky (not great) was better than that gun.

It seems to me that the electronic trigger would be good only for completely computer controlled computerized guns, like unlimited class. The idea would be for the computer to read through the scope and shoot when told to do so via an "artificial intelligence" algorithm. This means the computer would constantly compare what it is currently seeing to that previously "read" for the very first shot in the record group. Cruise missile systems work in this same manner, where the first shot would be the picture of the coordinates (satellite) desired for the sight-seeing missile. (KJ is FOS for the most part.) ... felix
