Great to see Mike and Dave making progress with their safety system:
IRIS hunter safety technology | Indiegogo
You can get some good deals if you help them out with startup funding too.
I've had a play with one of their IRIS devices, and they are a great idea.
It looks great but like all technology - it's only as good as the guy using it and a reliance on it isn't the panacea.
Not everyone could have the IRIS reflectors, so if it doesn't alarm - BANG?
Are the batteries working, it didn't alarm - BANG?
It's alarming at a definite non-human, say a river rock. I can't trust it now - BANG?
I think it's a great start though and something to be used in combination with a lot of other common sense measures.
that's a great idea should be built into every scope
Um weasel, I don't have a scope on my rifle :P prefer to use the "safety" between my ears, if in ANY doubt, don't pull the trigger...Quote:

Can see it working well for groups to hire out when heading into huts with a lot of bush hunting around them.
How ever i don't think that many would carry it all the time and a gps type system is properly a better system for people who are no hunting in pairs
