It was originally designed with the goal of hitting a volleyball at 450 yards but has surpassed that, and the company says that someone with no shooting experience can achieve long-range marksman performance with the weapon the same day.

The scope has a laser range finder to calculate distance and temperature and pressure sensors to calculate relative humidity, which can affect the behavior of a bullet. It also includes objective lenses capable of magnifying a heads-up display image of the target 30x or 35x depending on model.
