If you ask me i think you should need a lisence to have nv, if somebody is out shooting in the dark you should only be allowed to use lamps.nv is a great poaching tool , maybe i should get one after all
Does using nv ruining your shooting or improve it, if there wasnt lamp shy foxes i would find it boring just shooting one after another in total darkness, boring for your companion too, thats my thoughts on it, what do others think.

Yep,that's what we need, a nv licencing department.
It'll be properly staffed and be quick on grants,variations and 1 for 1's...cheap too.
Lol
I didnt realise the nv was fussy on the weather conditionsNv is the way forward, wheres the fun in seeing 5 lamp shy foxes and not getting a shot! I like to do abit of dusk-dawn hunting for foxes too.
Nv isnt a magical way of killing lots of foxes. Most nv dont like fog or mist. Bright moon light also makes the ir less effective. Rain on the lenses is also a real pain. I also use my nv for rabbit and rat control. I use a starlight archer and longbow combo.
ok gunner that would be good, ive got them bullets in my shooting bag ready for you.Neil i use a longbow nv scope, and its almost to easy to shoot foxs, as long as you use the wind to your advantage,
When i shoot the next 1000 yds at Bisley with Matt, ill bring it down to show you.

I thought I would get a bite on the licence remark I am surprised how few people replied, hopefully coz not many have nv or ti rather than the rest poach with theirsyes especially as you can build a good set For £100-£200 ish with Parts of Ebay
Im sure poachers will hand all theirs in and promise not to make any without a licence
Thermal is the way forwards,
If you can afford it, id be looking at spending at least 3k for a reliable sight.
Plenty of units available, but some are clearly better than others.
Refresh rate, start up, objective size, warranty and recoil resilience all factors to take into consideration.
I wouldn't look at anything with less than 30htz refresh for starters..
I totally disagree if you are refering to thermal riflescopes? Thermal is great for spotting but a massive accident waiting to happen as a scope! Identification is an absolute nightmare with thermal and someone will shoot something they shouldn't! Thermal for spotting and NV for the identification and shooting.
Thats the system a mate uses, think they have a high end thermal imager, am talking lots of thousands, I dont like the thought of some wandering around unseen, lamps shinning around let others know someone is about,I've been out lamping in the past and seen
2 more lamps shinning around in the distance.
