As you can see, they're sharper and clearer than the ones we took in the field.  But they got to choose their day and their range and their lighting conditions, and probably mounted the rifle on a tripod for stability.  We just took the SmartScope with us on the day we went hunting, so the results you saw on the previous page are probably slightly more realistic.

Looks to me like they should have re-thought the battery selection!
