jimmygreenwood10 4 Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Hi, just wondering if anyone has used thermal imaging for daytime shooting of foxes rabbits etc. Can it help detect them from hedge rows, brambles, semi thick cover? Thinking of purchasing one but have no real experience with them and I know most people use them for night shooting. Any help much appreciated. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Blackwood Outdoors 64 Posted March 2, 2020 Report Share Posted March 2, 2020 Yes use them for finding rabbits in long grass in summer and its very easy to spot hares in there seats also... They can be used night and day but perform best on dry cold days. If you want one give me a shout and I'll beat any other prices.. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BigHammo 1 Posted March 3, 2020 Report Share Posted March 3, 2020 Another yes from me, can be really useful spotting stuff in cover or under shady hedges. Buy what you can sensibly afford - lots of great finance deals around from the various retailers. That can make this pricey kit affordable. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Would you say it's worth the extra money compared to the XM30? I'm not really bothered about recording stuff etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Squirrel_Basher 17,100 Posted March 5, 2020 Report Share Posted March 5, 2020 Yes mate ,looked through both and the 38 isn’t far off the 50 for spotting and ID . Quote Link to post Share on other sites
