Sachal must have hijacked his account lol
The one at SHOT was an early prototype. It did not have night capabilities, though you could view in daytime. The color was off because I think the filtering was screwed up. But basically, it was just for show.
I'll share a story - I was talking to a fellow at SHOT that was represented as the lead engineer for the project. We were talking about the color, wifi, gps, microwave, tracking radar and maid this thing supposedly had..... I asked about sensitivity at night. He says, "Oh, you can see 200 yards with no illuminator." My mind sort of froze. Huh? He was droning on.... I said, "No wait, you are telling me that this thing will see 200 yards at night, a digital scope, with no illuminator?" He said, "Yes." I replied, " Well, wouldn't that be what you want to share with everyone? I mean, who cares about all this other stuff. You have a digital scope that works with no illuminator in pitch dark out to 200 yards." He just shrugged. I knew something was out of whack at that moment, but it took awhile to really soak in cause I'm old and slow.
Well, alrighty then...

I guess it all depends on if his 200 yards was full moon or no moon.

From Sachal, ATN:
"Here is our latest "official" update recently published on our Facebook,
but you guys knew that already
"Thank you all for your patience. We are still testing the units before full launch. We are going to share images, videos and test results with you as we go.
The X-Sight 5-18x was at the range this week. Held zero perfectly and the Single shot zero worked exactly as it was supposed to. The hole in zone 7 was first shot.
The 4-5 shots in the bulls eyes were after being zeroed. The one in zone 9 was when we let one of the engineers take a shot.
Mechanical work is complete and bodies are in full production. We have to finish some of the firmware. We currently are fine tuning the colors, optimizing night mode and a few other features prior to official launch.
We are very close.
Expected deliveries are expected to be: 5-18x September, 3-12x October (maybe September)."

Maxx TraxxI would love to use ATN for the summer and have had my X-Sight on order since FEB, but ATN ruined my summer fun! Thanks
Posted today:
Everyone thank you for your patience. We understand that it has been a long time coming but we have some great news. The initial launch firmware is complete on the X-Sights and we are now into full production. We anticipate shipments to start going out to customers mid October.
Videos in both day and night modes will be posted as we film them in the coming days.
Once again thank you for your patience. We can’t wait to start sharing these units with you.

They aren't sharing ship with us. They are selling them.
Any bets on whether they really ship in October?
