I think all he is saying is that skill will trump technology in this sort of an encounter. "It's not the arrow, it's the Indian..."

I see the kind of nonsense in this video as more of the same old crap we see in so many other ventures these days - some putz trying to make money by convincing folks that they can make up for the skills you worked very hard to learn by simply buying some whiz-bang piece of equipment. He may very well make his money (many snake oil salesmen do), but his customers will never close the gap.
A 600 yard head shot, just picking up a your rifle cold and doing it, is outstanding shooting in anyone's book. I don't think folks who have never tried this have any clue what it is all about. Just how well you have to know your rifle and load, how well you have to be able to read the conditions, and all of that.
So, I wonder how many "heads" that red dot subtends at 600 meters? I bet it's several. I wonder how close to being dead center in the red dot this system is before it fires; how many more minutes of error are induced at that point.
How many MOA does a human head subtend at 600 meters? I would guess about a minute and a half. The red dot looks several times that, at least.
