    60ish Hogs Down with the Insight LWTS, FLIR PTS536, White Phosphor NV

    Incredible video. Thanks for sharing. As great as LWTS is; the white phosphorus night vision just amazes me. I think it just moved up to the front of my next to buy list. As much as my Gen 2 plus opens up night time stalking...the White phosphorus (if as good in real life as the video) is...

    New thermal

    I am 62 and technology challenged so if I can get proficient using the thermal so can you! I watched the Pulsar YouTube Videos (allot) that explained the menu options before the thermal unit arrived, which really helped. The question I got answered the other day on the forum was to keep the...

And how often should the “turn display off” be used? Every 5 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.? Problem - The reason I ask is when...

    Take the Girls

    Great story, great pictures. Congrats on job well done. My daughter has always enjoyed shooting AR, M1A, 6.8 and 1911. Night Vision is okay with her; however, she really enjoyed using the new thermal I just bought walking around and seeing deer and other critters. Now she even asked to join me...

    Now servicing West Texas

    The number of hogs and the large area of damage is just incredible to someone from a farm background. I just can not imagine the aggravation and cost to farmers associated with these nuisances. Keep on killing them.

    Research done; purchased thermal

    Well said. Both older brothers are serious cancer surgery survivors and they said 1) do not take good health for granted and 2) if I enjoy something then do it now while body allows. I can’t wait to make more great moments with children tromping around at night chasing critters with night...
