Does this sound like the X-Sight rollout fiasco of 2015? Sachal and the vendors singing the praises for the scope, new owners being very excited by the prospect of cutting edge technology for low amounts of money, followed up by disappointing performance, sound issues, video issues, dead scopes, and we haven't even gotten to the field tests of all the other options on the new scopes yet. The Thor HD is way too dark, had a giant line across the screen, and similar to hetman's issue, fails to power and won't come back on. The sound, however, does NOT jive with the action.Īrchersparadox2020 presents a nice comparison video. High grass is always a problem because you can't see the target very well, so assessing the image is a bit more difficult in this case, but the image doesn't look bad for what it is. Jtprodcaddie posted a video showing the shooting pigs in high grass. At the end, the audio cuts out before the video ends. RONIN003 posted a video that looked pretty good of some deer. SachalATN posted a video of a very short distance dog on a porch where the image kept graying out and the sounds heard do not appear to correspond directly with the action on the screen. It looked terrible and there was no sound. Jtprocaddie showed a video of a raccoon at short range. Hetman had a unit that powered up once and then never again.įr3db3ar shared a video that looked pretty good, had no sound, but showed a bunch of dead pixels Once we get these initial videos on the forum, then we can start doing comparison videos with other platforms side by side at the same targets.those are the most beneficial to show the realistic expectations of any given platform. range to animals, humidity level and temp at time of hunt are huge factors when dealing with thermal. I think the initial videos are good to show what the scope is capable of, and waiting for someone on this forum to show what it looks like in real life hunting circumstances (the video above either was shot in October of this past year or the dates were way off, hard ot tell, but I don't know who that hunter is and the video itself gives very little data) as well as the approx. Here was my 1st pig shot with a 17HMR I bought from a friend on Thursdayģ08 case - 223 case - loaded 17hmr w/17grain bullet 2650fpsĮither that is one long barrel or the scope grabs a little more field of view than is eing the barrel in the view like that video shows is a little too much for me at least.

I do have some pics I took with the scope will download them this week and see what I have to post. I will go back next weekend buy the humidity will still be very high.
its my first thermal so I am going thru a learning phase. I am not sure but the humidity seemed to be affecting what I was seeing with the scope. I went out trying to sight in the scope and I was having trouble at 100 yards - I guess the hand warmers I had were old and did not seem to generate enough heat( they were barley warm to the touch) by the time I figured out to get a propane heater and warm a small piece of metal it was getting too late & did not want to keep the lease camp awake with a 223 booming. Saturday afternoon we hunted again and that's when I shot a 125lb sow with my new Savage 93 R 17HMR, and by the time we got to camp cleaned pig and ate dinner in was 10:30 -11pm. Saturday we hunted all day & I did shoot a pig just not with my 223/Thor setup. got to cisco Friday night and got rained out. because I don't have a hunting video yet.
I am glad someone posted a video for ya'll. Some people use cold instead of heat and use ice or plastic bottles of frozen water. You can use all manner of things for sighting in from handwarmers to reflective tape to duct tape to steel targets (my favorite as I have them and the sun heats them) to even colored paper targets on a hot day were the dark area of the paper heats up differently than the light areas. I believe you will find that you can convey more energy to the wall by touching your finger to it for a couple of seconds than your laser bore sight will after minutes. However, what is or is not detectable is the real issue and the 1/1000th of a degree difference a bore sight laser might be able to heat a surface after a while just is not detectable with the technology we are using. I think you would find that all light conveys a bit of heat energy, not just lasers. Sure, and if you have a burning laser, you are good to go. I thought lasers all generated some degree of heat depending on the power level of the laser.
