Thread: Thermal Night Shooting Gear - Pard NV007

No, the animal can not see the IR light. You wont get anything reflect back at you, but you can get some wash from your IR light if you have anything that is close (1m or so) or in the way. I few people have complained about the magnification, personally, I like it. A good solid rest is essential at night I find if you are camped in the one place. I use a tripod with a V attachment on it to rest the gun in, it also allows you to swivel 360. I dont use the IR light on the 008, I always use a LED 850nm IR torch mounted on my rifle for better brightness, clarity and range. If you are doing longer range shooting, then a laser IR will give you the range, a LED IR is probably only good for 150m (I think they say about 250m, but that would be stretching it I feel).

Just my thoughts.
