So I have a thermal scope but am considering another purchase because my son and I hunt together. Would I have more hunting success if I got another thermal scope/rifle setup. Or get a helmet mounted monocular and work as a spotter/shooter arrangement....
Night Vision Monocular or another scope...
- Thread starter Texaslongshot
- Start date
If I was going hunting with people I knew, I'd want to be able to participate fully, so I'd want a second scope. You can dismount the scope if you want and hold it up to scan with. But you also have the option for both to hunt. By using your elbows on your chest, you can support the gun and transfer weight to your body, so you can scan while holding up. Just assign sectors, so you are scanning "back to back" and not scanning each other.
That said, if I am guiding people I don't know, I do not shoot, I'm the safety guy, making sure the team shoots only when a valid target exists, etc. So I'd want monoculars for that purpose.
But there's also a lot of personal preference involved, and we can't judge that for you guys.

What about strange people you know well?....
For the op though, I'm with wig on the idea of getting something that's capable of being both a scanner or shooting. Flexibility is a great thing.
