A New Meaning To “Reaching Out And Touching Someone.”

Wasn't there a company right here in the States offering remote controlled hunting to those who may be disabled and couldn't travel to the hunt site? The hunter would aim at the deer or hog on a computer screen and the remote controlled rifle follows their mouse. Clicking the mouse fires the rifle, and then the company ships the cleaned and freeze packed venison to them?

Just dug up a literal blast from the past... They were already doing it in 2007:


ETA: As soon as the company announced it, a lot of folks including other sportsmen and gunnie groups balked at it and a whole flood of states enacted bans on it. From 2005 to 2007 Live Shot was doing promotional stuff.
