Default New style rangefinder scope combos

I was reading about a new setup from Sig Sauer that has rangefinder and rifle scope all paired to cell phone and wind meter. A question come to me in regards to eligibility for Boone and Crockett. Has there been any penalties or trophies removed for use of these items for taking animals? I'm not sure of the rules in regards to the use of such items and entry of animals.

None of these factor in wind so I’m pretty sure that they are still bc eligible
If you want to see something cool check out the Swarovski ds or the revic scopes.

Mark, from just my limited reading on this I see that you can pair a wind meter in on this. I am quite techno stupid but where is the line on the use of this type of equipment? Also, to consider is lighted knocks on arrows?

It appears wind speed and heading is manually input into the cell phone app that talks to the scope. I can't see how it would work any other way. Interesting but not for me. Appears time consuming, fidgety and not conducive to cold weather hunting. As for B&C? Don't know, don't care.

Lighted arrow nocks are specifically identified in P&Y Rules of Fair Chase as being acceptable.
