Chinese Acrobatics By a DA To Not Bring Charges

Deputy leaves his K9 partner in the patrol car while he is training. He knows that the AC doesn't work and the vehicle doesn't have a heat warning but does it anyway. He returned to the patrol car to find the dog dead.
If you assault a K9 cop there's special charges for you but they dug deep to use the Hillary defense. He didn't intend to commit the crime!! So it's all good and the taxpayers can choke up another $20K for another dog. The statement by the sheriff is truly a whitewashing of the the whole thing.
I'm going to use the "I didn't intend to speed" defense!! It's good enough for this scumbag and the skank Hillary so federal and state level are setting the precedent. Ohh wait, I ain't one of the King's men.

Night Vision Athlon Cronus CL35 640 - first impressions, first hunt

TLDR - Good clarity, range finder works as advertised, seems like this unit might be a "If I could only have one" level unit, if on a $3000-ish budget

Full and fair disclosure, I got this unit for T&E from Athlon. I'm not being paid by them, nor are they advertising in exchange. I'm just writing an article on thermal for a publication and it was available as a result.

With that said, I wanted to get my paws on it because it appears to be the new hotness for those without a generous Uncle Sam, trust fund, or five figure thermal in the budget.

I got the unit in hand at 7 PM and we had a 7AM departure, so time for reading and learning was very limited. We were happy to find the optic was minute of pig close to POA/POI without having to even go into a zero menu, so it did make it into the field and did put a pig on the ground.

The Athlon was being used side by side with a Steiner C35 Gen 2. The photos below shouldn't be taken as a comparison per se - we have a year on the Steiner, and barely adjusted the Athlon. The Athlon was on a 12.5" Grendel with a Leupold VX6HD 1-6x, and the Steiner on a 14.5" 556 with an old school first gen Vortex Razor 1-4X. The pigs were at 180 yards per the laser. The pigs decided to charge, which didn't prove to be the move. In both cases, through the scope, species ID was easy and absolute. The shots below are all taken from video.

I've come to really appreciate scanning with the handheld. Even a first gen Burris with a 400x300 sensor makes life much easier, and minimizes the amount of swinging guns around while scanning.

The view that shows the 196 yard laser shot is taken through a cell phone cam, so again doesn't begin to capture the clarity you're actually getting to the eye.

On the gong, the two shots above the center dot was with the scope, and the two to the right were just clipping on without touching zero. I let well enough alone and it was indeed minute of pig.

Do I need match ammo at 100 yards? Or is it a waste of money?

Probably a rookie question, but I’m trying to learn whatever I can.

Let’s say I’m primarily focused on practicing my fundamentals and I’m not yet trying to match my rifle and which load is optimal. And I only have access to factory ammo.

I’m shooting a 20” ar chambered in 556, 1:8 twist, stainless bull barrel. I’m using 1” pasters as poa.

If I start at 50 yards, I don’t see any reason to be choosy about the ammo I bring. I mostly shot IMI 55gr fmj and 62gr m855.

I’m going to the range on Friday to continue practicing, but at 100 yards. Again, I’m primarily looking to practice fundamentals and get familiar with the new rifle, but hitting where I’m aiming is one of the primary ways to determine if I’m doing it right.

At a short range like 100 yards, do I need to start bringing higher quality ammo? Or should I expect close to the same results as at 50 yards with the basic stuff?

By “close to the same”, I mean consistency in being able to troubleshoot MY shooting, not extreme accuracy.

Thank you for any advice!!
