ATN X-Sight II – Smart Shooting

One of the cool things about ATN's X-Sight is that it is firmware upgradeable. This allows added features and different reticles to be offered up for download. They have also recently introduced a ballistic calculator that will take data and adjust your aim for faster hits. It will be interesting to see tech like this go into military optics down the line.

Here's what they tell us about it.

ATN X-Sight II – Smart Shooting

ATN, innovators of advanced night vision, thermal imaging and digital Smart HD optics for hunters, outdoor enthusiasts, military and law enforcement, is pleased to announce its latest firmware update (V2 1.05.619) for the X-Sight II HD 3-14x and 5-20x has been released.

As part of the new firmware update, new features have been added to the X-Sight II:

• ATN has activated the X-Sight II’s Obsidian Smart Shooting Solution. The Smart Shooting Solution gives users the option to use an intuitive and intelligent ballistic calculator that does the hard work for you. Range in with your Smart Range Finder, enter your wind readings and watch the Obsidian Core do the rest. Turn through the wind, change your incline angle, adjust distance and instantly, your point of impact will shift, so you’ll have the perfect shot every time.

• X-Sight II owners will now have the option to use the newly added NP-R2 MOA reticle.

• The “USB Mode” dialogue notification has been improved. Now, by default, when using an external power source, the X-Sight II device goes to power supply mode.

• A notification message has been added whenever ballistic compensation is active.
