"Virtual Hunting" with Real Wildlife in Real Nature

“A camera mounted on a gun stock with cross hairs like a scope, showing the point of aim would be a great invention.

In fact, I would have traded my best rifle for one of these when Old Herbert and I were looking one another over.”

– Elk Tracks in the Sawdust, Gene Snider, 1975

Figure 1:   We could have killed this bear, but why? He’s a beautiful animal living in the wild and we were thrilled to see him there. And we saw him again the next year!

THE RIFLE

The rifle is a Soft Air* 3D printed FN Herstal Scar -L replica gun with some of its functionality removed.

THE SCOPE

The scope is an ATN X Sight LTV 3-9x with night vision capability  (illuminator included) and  high resolution. With the  added CatchandReleaseHunt.com components, the scope can run approximately 10 hours  without being turned off or recharged.

THE PHOTOS

CatchandReleaseHunt.com™ has added the technology that allows trigger actuation to take a photo.  When the trigger is pulled a small frame of the photo will show up in the scope momentarily. Changing recticle styles for the photographs one captures is also a capability.

REALISTIC EXPERIENCE

Software settings allow 5 shots before a ten second pause. In the real world, most hunters would likely never take more than 4 rifle shots before having to take time to reload. These  parameters can be reprogrammed to better replicate your desired experience.
