in the future - u will be able to do some more stuff here,,,!! like pat catgirl- i mean um yeah... for now u can only see others's posts :c
Come on subscribers, I need about an extra 1500 views to get the channel monetised. What this means for you is that I increase my chances to get cool products for testing from manufacturers and thus I can bring you cool content which you will not find elsewhere. Don't forget to leave a comment and even dislikes are better than no likes LOL!

Ever wonder about those copper colored H&N pellets? Wonder no more! I asked H&N for the facts.

Believe it or not, true wild doves, ie ones not habituated to human presence and or feeding routines are actually very hard to hunt, as they possess excellent eyesight and are always on the watch/wary of any movement/objects which can be construed as a threat to their existence. Hence one way to gain an advantage (but it's NOT a done deal) is to use a thermal imaging scope and work at night for such animals.

Hunting is just like fishing, one needs patience and sometimes like dishing there are too many hunters present in the same area. Know how far you must be apart from the other hunters to be safe. ie if shotguns are being used you should be at least 100m away. Rifles, I'd locate to somewhere else. Patience Patience!

What to know When Using a Thermal Scope. Environment plays a big role when it comes to getting the best performance from your thermal rifle scope for maximising hunting success. Unlike a regular visible light optical rifle scope, where the background environment (exception of wind and refractive index/mirage effects) plays no part in the visualisation of your target. What plays a key role are the following but not limited to:
Diameter and quality of the front optical element, followed by the Optical pathway to the quality of the eyepiece. These components when properly constructed will determine your ability to clearly resolve your target. Scopes boasting large magnifications one should be wary of, since (large) magnification has no bearing upon image resolution and light gathering capabilities of your scope and is often a selling/,marketing gimmick.
The light gathering capabilities are determined by the size and quality of the Objective lens ie the front element.
However, for a thermal infrared imager, ie a thermal Rifle scope, the image quality depends upon the coating/s which will exclude visible light interference (with the infra red signature of the target), the sensitivity of the electronics, dark current and sensitivity of the detector chip; VOX or Silicon. VOX (Vanadium oxide) chips are usually found in the more expensive and often better (higher sensitivity thermal imaging scopes. The scope software and hardware also needs to be able to exclude what is background IR and what is not. This is the hard part.

General educational discussion related to PCP airguns along with Optical and Infrared Thermal Rifle Scopes, and associated optics etc. by a scientist geek.
Basically a Vlog along with some humour.
About me:
Ex rifle; Bow hunter for years (greater than 35 years) now also a PCP devotee as well!
We also discuss some basic physics associated with all of the above devices along with hunting tips from a hunter.
