What’s up man? It’s been a while!

I kinda went an unusual route- a Flir T50 clip-on thermal. I got a steal on it and figured it would get me started.

It has its pros and cons. Sitting in front of a 1-4 scope, it can run all the way down to a true 1x, which was a big plus for hog hunting down in the swamps in Georgia. It doesn’t have quite the image that some of the newer (high-dollar) units put out, but it will detect out to 400 at least, and I can identify what I’m seeing out to 200. So far I like it a lot, but I’m taking it coyote hunting next week, and we’ll see how it stacks up to some fancy new rigs.

Got my nods.

Ended up deciding to pay a little extra for the dtnvgs. The articulation is a nice feature and they sit very close to the helmet. Very happy with the L3 unfilmed tubes that I got. I only ordered the "1701" which was the lowest priced option for the unfilmed, and happy that I did. Pretty sure these specs turned out to be on the higher end for that model.

I took a couple videos in my pitch black basement, and outside my house. Will try to upload those sometime this week. Once I get all the gear squared away, I will also try to upload a video of the perst 3 I picked up.
My specs:
SNR: 35.2/35.9
Center Res: 72/72
Halo: .7/.7
EBI: .9/.6

Awesome, I got my Perst 3 in a bit ago, has been looking great under nods in the back yard but haven't been able to sight it in or shoot with it yet unfortunately.

I sighted my perst in by looking at something in the distance and converging my laser to the dot on my eotech. Is it parallel offset? No... did it work for now? Yep. I was able to get consistent hits at 100yds with the "converging" zero. For now its fine. Once I have more time I will probably try to do the parallel.

How long did it end up taking you to get it from when you ordered it?

 

[Napalmx9]

I think it took just over 3 months, Russian shipping gets really slow in December/January due to the Holidays. I will probably try to do a parallel zero as well, I need to find out the bore to laser offset so i can make a target like these

Congrats on the dual DTNVG's man! I've got two 14's I run on ops core helmet and a G24 mount. I am planning on selling both of them to fund a dual tube setup like you just got though. I live south of you and mainly shoot out at my parents place. However, from talking to the range president where I belong it sounds like I can get permission to shoot there at night if I go to a board meeting.

You guys still active on here and using your night vision?

Yessir just posted in your thread. PM if you would like to get some more information.

We've got some nice farmland up here in Northwest Indiana that we have permission to shoot on. I have seen the thread about the ohio night vision shoot on arfcom. I think a few of us plan on making the trip up there as well. Im running a sico omega on my 11.5 pistol with a perst 3 on order. It left the Motherland on December 11th and has not reached the states. If your perst 3 was shipped around the holidays there are some massive delays. They plan on refunding the shipping when the get their refund from the carrier. My buddy ordered his December 27th and he already has it. He has an atpial-c as well. It literally blows the atpial-c out of the water according to him.

I’m in Valparaiso new to this group but would love to shoot with like minded people. Hit me up if your interested on a newcomer joining you sometime.

I’m getting into the night vision game. Have about 3 or 4 friends that already have the gear. We’ve got a couple places that we can shoot at up here in NWI. I was wondering how many other Ingoers have nods, and shoot with them often. Anyone know of any good ranges close to NWI that allow night shooting?

In addition, what is everyone using for their setup? (Helmet, lasers, Illuminators, mono/duals?)

Thanks for responses,

Katana L3 unfilimed duals on ops core with FP peq15 on a DD suppressed sbr 300 blk…. Would love to find some people in NWI to shoot with.

You guys still shooting with NVG’s? I’m in NWI & would love to find a group & a place to shoot at night.

Ill guess ill update this thread LOL. Ive since gone from DTNVGS to RNVGS to DUAL 14s on a panobridge...to now my current set is 1431 mk2s. REALLY like the mk2s from argus. They are filmed xlsh tubes with similar specs to my initial unfilmed and it's really hard to see a difference in performance.

I have gear ADHD really bad.

Idk how far you are from Kokomo, but my buddy owns machinegun excursions. I go shoot out there with nods often. I'd love to meet some other hoosiers with nod capabilities.

If the offer is open, I’d like to join too. I’m in Hamilton county and Kokomo isn’t too far for me.

For sure, we don't have anything planned at the moment but I'll keep you in mind. Do you have instagram?

Just wanted to jump in, if anyone in the Fort Wayne area knows of a place for NV shooting / has a group that likes to get together with nods and is open to meeting up feel free to dm me. Even if it’s just doing hikes or something under nods I’d probably be interested, I run a WP DTNVS.

Did I bump into you on Reddit a couple months ago? I was talking to some guy in the night vision sun from Fort Wayne looking for a place.
