Hate the T.V Types of shooting, Prefer proper NV that's just like a scope, Started with a starlight mounted to My SLR in the 80's

And i now use a Pulsar N550 atop My HW100 KT .22,Perfect for My needs with an Air Rifle.

 

Lamps are still perfect for ratting, But for Me Rabbit and feral clearing i prefer NV.

Agreed Daz , im not one for tv types . N550 was the mutts , now onto the photon

I am with Daz on this one , Hate those TVs on top , shooting by wire I call it ,very un natural .

I all so have a N550 on the ultra m/s .177 with a marky ir and its great

Those strap on TV cameras are not conducive to good shooting technique - just like using a screen on a camera promotes poor camera technique. Holding a camera out at half arms length and wobbling it about.....yes you can get some good pictures but to get REGULAR good pictures you will find people using a proper viewfinder.

 

Shooting is very similar - head off the stock wobbling the cross around, like some Nintendo game control, is not my idea of good shooting technique, regardless of what results you get. You won't get the satisfaction of swinging on to a running rat and nailing it as it nips across the yard. I am in the "proper scope type" camp:

if you have X amount of rats that NEED shooting go with the best/ fastest tool for the job! okay true it takes the skill out of it for sure, but you get results!

 

if your like me tho and don't need to kill miliions , and just want 2-3 rabbits for a stew then a lamp is fine and very rewarding to shoot well.!

 

I cant lamp for toffee, but I get the odd few.

 

if I had a problem that needed controlling I would use anything I could to get the job done

I am not a fan of the tv type myself I like the scope type I have a n550 with a Sony doubler and a marky ir same as vm and I rate it its a top bit of kit

[charlie caller 3,654]

I hate those bloody tv things perched on top. as said earlier, its like playing some poxy game, no for me, rifle in shoulder, look down a scope.

i just cant justify the cost of nv so its the lamp. but i am no great lover of that either ! dusk shooting for me!
