    Night Vision Vital-2 Questions

    Re: Vital-2 Questions The method described in the manual is typically a convergence point, at a known distance, for a condensed distance range. Much like the Army zeroing a rifle at 300M but, doing it on a 25M range. The impact and aiming points get confusing because they are looking for...

    Night Vision Vital-2 Questions

    Re: Vital-2 Questions Just like your offsets when shooting your day optic: spend some time shooting the setup and establish your hold-offs for your laser. Depending on mounting location (on the rifle) and target distance, you will have to figure out your divergence and convergence points.

    Night Vision Vital-2 Questions

    Re: Vital-2 Questions Mark, Just like any sighting device that mounts to a rail,a free-float system will give you more accuracy (typically) than a standard. The easiest way to zero them would be to co-witness them to your standard day optic. Sandbag the gun, set a target at your zero...

    Night Vision Night Vision Generation Comparison Guide

    Re: Night Vision Generation Comparison Guide Oops, I only addressed half the question. ABC will help with any system, as it will try to keep the light optimized for the situation. I don't think it is a huge benefit or detriment in either system, as far as performance is concerned. I do...

    Night Vision Night Vision Generation Comparison Guide

    Re: Night Vision Generation Comparison Guide Funny you ask: We had a student show up to our Victoria, TX class with a really high-end filmless. I personally had a high end Pinnacle at the class (72lp/mm,27.8 SNR, 0.74 Halo, 1.71 EBI, Sensitivity 2279). He was proud of his NVD and we...

    Night Vision Night Vision Generation Comparison Guide

    Re: Night Vision Generation Comparison Guide We'll see what we can do. From a true performance perspective, pictures will probably not do the difference between it and Pinnacle, any justice. The two are closely matched. Close enough anyway that transferring from our digital camera to this...

    Night Vision Helmet Ballast Advice

    Re: Helmet Ballast Advice Don't know what the intention was. I guess, with Velcro, it could be mounted wherever you would like. Some of our guys are running them on their sleeves, some on their armor, some on their packs.

    Night Vision Helmet Ballast Advice

    Re: Helmet Ballast Advice Agreed. Keep your system flexible. Check out the mini-chemlight holder: http://tnvc.com/shop/eog-mini-chemlight-holder/ I use it to hold my batteries, in my pouch. Keeps them stable, separated and,immediately accessible. It will hold one AA or two CR123...

    Night Vision Choosing the right night vision

    Re: Choosing the right night vision Yes there is. Huge technology gap. Huge tactical gap. Huge gap in the advantage you gain to navigate and close with your quarry. It is the reason that he Military uses the PVS-14 not the ND3.

    Night Vision Choosing the right night vision

    Re: Choosing the right night vision As stated above, night vision equipment is expensive. Like all technology, you get what you pay for. One of the coyote hunters on our property uses an ND3. It is not a bad option. It is visible light but, the spectrum seems to not spook the animals off...

    Night Vision Choosing the right night vision

    Re: Choosing the right night vision The PVS-14 Monocular is used by the most number of folks who are doing exactly what you would like to do. I use one personally, to hunt the same quarry on my land. The PVS-14 gives you the ability to have one of your eyes, out of the NVD. In your case, I...

    Night Vision VECTRONIX NITE SPOT 50 CLIP ON

    Re: VECTRONIX NITE SPOT 50 CLIP ON The system uses a Photonis XR-5 tube which, technically speaking, is a Gen 2 tube. However, it does perform at very high specifications. It is just the way that it is built that technically classifies if as a Gen 2. The XR-5 is a fairly low-yield tube...

    Re: Helmet Ballast Advice A counter weight <span style="text-decoration: underline">will</span> make your helmet more comfortable to wear. It will allow your to counter-balance the NVD and, makes it where you don't have to over-tighten your OCC dial. Most users compensate this way and, it...

    Night Vision Helmet light Surefire M1 IR? Good?

    Re: Helmet light Surefire M1 IR? Good? IMHO the Surefire M1 is the best light for helmet use. To the man, all of us run this setup. I have one mounted on my OpsCore Base Jump and another on my Crye Air Frame. The light has a pre-focused beam that allows plenty of usable light, in a nice...
