I heard this featured on a tech slot on the BBC as I drove home from an abysmal IPSC performance.
Anyway I heard a piece on a new gizmo that was supposed to reduce the risk of hinting accidents where people are mistaken for game in the heat of the moment and I thought some people would be interested.
It is a system that uses a combination of scope mounted lasers and reflective garments on shooting party members as I understand it. I suppose the weakness is that it does not help ID people who are not kitted up with the special clothing. It seems unrealistic to expect all hunters to buy the clothing markers in case someone has this tagging system mounted in the area.
All the same if you're in a group in dense brush it could be a good idea.
Regardless of the outcome a safe hunt has to be a good hunt!!
Here is a link to the story.
