I had a look through David evans nv (same as vm,s)

when he was up at mine

good nv mind

when i was with pav the fog came in and my photon white,d out

but the thermal was still good to go .

mind iv not used a thermal in damp wet evenings

but as we were still shooting in fog i thought it would be ok in them conditions

like i say,d im no expert

you live and learn lol

Sorry Jimmy but the photon is probably the worst NV I have look through ,you cant compare that to N870 with a doubler 

[David.evans 5,323]

Pulsar 870/970 imo is more than good enough for any type of shooting 

if you've got the right ir on board . I.e.  Ward b 501 ruby sun pill. , I ant joking 

600 yards easy with spot on recognized target 

thermal , all the way if you've got a gold pot under your bed ( but why ) 

don't know why Jon it gives you a head ache ,  

Plus the range finder is invaluable at nite 

you might get a n870 for 700/750 these days 

and really it's hard to miss almost like cheating ( sure shot ) 

atb lads

Hi Dave,

 

Hope you're well mate

 

I remember you're NV scope being a really nice bit of kit.

 ........ It didn't give me a head ache - it made me feel dizzy looking through it

[David.evans 5,323]

That my friend 

is because you were stressed out at work , and some pice of pussy chasing you 

how did it work out anyway ( only joking Jon ) 

the only reason that I can get think of is that the eye relief, was not set to your eye 

may be 

any mate hope your well

A bad workman always blames his tools. 

Having said that, when I used a thermal spotter recently, that made me feel a bit dizzy. When I looked up at the sky without the spotter with one eye it looked dark purple and with the other eye it looked normal. Using both eyes made me feel wobbly till my eyes got adjusted again. I think I had the spotter too bright.

No, mine does the same thing, it's weird getting used to it, and feels like it's blinded you for a while

[David.evans 5,323]

I think mate , that mite happen with all nv 

if I spot thro mine for a long time , I can't even see the sky for a few minutes 

untill every thing is adjusted in my head again 

good point  that walshie 

I wonder ir that applies to other shooters , be nice to no 

opinions please lads

I'm good mate, cheers - still working like a slave but, I'm sure it'll pay off in the end

 

It's been a long time since a piece of fanny was chasing me

 ....... Was the time that I was being sent those videos?

 

You may well be right about the eye relief mate - I had a bit of a divvy eye as a kid and, my vision can be funny now if I'm tired

Yes, that's kind of it.

 

I don't know why it happens. Maybe because I like to shoot with both eyes open and, I'm not trying hard enough to change to scoped NV.

Maybe I'm just wired wrong for it to suit me?

Feck knows 

 

 

I think I'm just going to go for some good old fashioned lamping  

[walshie 2,804]

I think it's because your pupils are different sizes due to one being subjected to bright light and the other not. Once they both adjust to the same size you feel fine.

Or you're a fanny. One of the two.

In some ways I am pleased that I cannot afford to buy a high end NV or thermal as I really would not know what to go for BUT as the pension pot ensures I cannot, I am very happy to stick with my two Nitesite units and despite how crap some people think they are, I still shoot plenty of rabbits and rats with them so they work for me.

I do confess that if money allowed, a thermal spotter would be in my bag for certain. Also a huge help to find the bloody rabbits when they have been shot ................................... I lose quite a lot.

Mitch would say the nitesite is crap

unless he had one then it would be the bee,s knee,s

Some of us cant afford a top of the range nv and have to do with what we can get for the little money we have

and if he saw PAV shoot with the photon on my hw100 like i did then i think he may change his mind about them

the man never missed one rabbit with the photon on the 100

it was a pleasure to watch him .

and unlike the n870 there is no range finder built in to it

like i say,d lads like me and you phil just have to do with what we can

and what works for us .

not all of us have ££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££££ in the bank

and drive Bentley.s

All I can say is your either blind or the photon wasn't set up [BANNED TEXT] because for the money there defiantly not the worst nv on the market

Just go,s to show a unit at a quarter of the price of a n850 is just as good in the right hands .

Must of been a bad night that night Alan

seen more rabbits than that in ten mins on your perms lol
