From the ridiculous to the sublime.
I'm not sure whether I think: "Whoopie, this is SO great!" or "Damn! This is even more stupid than if I had thunk it first!"
First thing my Verizon Guy said when I bought my StupidPhone was: "This isn't as robust as the last (non-smart) phone you had. I will break. Easily. And the battery won't last as long."
So ... I'm encouraged to count on a StupidPhone to (a) endure against the recoil of a rifle, and (b) be 100% reliable in a SHTF situation?
I don't THINK so!
Kewl technology, if you have an IPhone (as opposed to an "Android", which I have). But I believe I'll just stick with iron sights or ... maybe, if I'm feeling lucky ... the 6x scope on my .25-06.
Too many failure points on THIS hash-up to make me comfortable that it will be there when I really need to make a shot.

I suspect that sight would only be legal in Open. Unfortunately, the rifle matches I shoot in require open sights, and I don't own a smart phone.
