TacomHQ TARAC Image Shifting Lens Technology

TacomHQ makes a lens that is positioned in front of an optic to shift the image and give the shooter a new Zero. They have lenses that can attach to a scope or a flip up lens for red dot sights. I wonder if this would be legal in Tac Limited 3Gun? The rules state you are only allowed irons or a non magnified optic. If the TacomHQ lens does not magnify the red dot image then perhaps it could be used.

Here is a video they posted shooting an AR out to 500 and 1000 yards.

Their website is a bit sparse. No mention of price or availability.

that's kinda interesting, so if you look at the target through the image shifter you have to lift your bore axis by some number of degrees to line up your reticle with the target, which increases the range of your zero.
can a different optical setup put the image lower in the visual field? and how do they get it to be so thin? is it some kind of lenticular lens?
Contacted this company as was interested in the 50-500 flip-up - received this in e-mail reply - shown simply to pass on information to others......
In a nutshell, the Alpha TARAC is a single lens flip-up that enables
operators to quickly cycle cqb optics to engage long range, or vice
versa, and starts at $350.
The Charlie TARAC provides additional range to scopes by adding 10, 20, 30+ MILs + turrets.
The Bravo TARAC is the bridge between both products. The Bravo TARAC is
adaptable to either a picatinny rail via quick-release or to front-end
of a scope. The Bravo TARAC enables operators to swap lenses without
any tools. Therefore, shooters that have multiple rifles, such as
yourself, could have a lens that provides a unique ballistic zero for
each rifle that will fit a Bravo TARAC.
Both the Alpha and Bravo TARAC are a quick-release with custom MIL / MOA shift as specified, and are a billet.
I've included a link showing a shoot we had back in August where an operator cycles from 50m to 500m and back with an EOTech. https://www.youtube.com/wat...
Let me know if this was helpful, or if you any other questions.

We are accepting preorders, and we have an extremely lenient return policy
due to the fact it is a new industry product. As long as it's in good,
working condition, we will be happy to refund the cost, but it's too
much fun to shoot on the range to return.
