First Hog with X-Sight HD

[boatdriver1790]

Finally got the X-Sight up and running. Put some time in the woods with it and overall, I'm pretty impressed. It's certainly better than a flashlight and scope, but didn't quite quench my thirst for a thermal. Oh well...someday. Here's a video I took of the first hunt.

Good job! Like you said, it doesn't quench your thirst for thermal. Then again, it doesn't cost like thermal either!

Looks like it worked as designed and did a good video. Distance of the shot and which X-sight and what did you have it set on?

 

[boatdriver1790]

FrankT,
I was probably 60 yds from him. Shooting offhand which accounts for all the shakiness. Lol. I was only on 3 power.

 

[FrankT]

Hey nothing to complain about there is it a 3-12 scope or the new 3-14? My only complaint is the bloom from shooting blocking running followup shots.

Fun! Sounded like it was suppressed.

Looks good and nice hog down!

It's the 3-14 model. The bloom was from having the illuminator on the side of the unit. I moved it up to the bottom of the rail and it's a lot better.

 

[FrankT]

yeah I have mine on a side rail, you think it is less when on the bottom of the handguard?

That's a decent/usable image and video!! Congrats, and thanks for sharing it.

 

[FrankT]

RD it also really makes a very nice color daytime video

Sounds like someone's gone to the dark side again. LOL

Yeah I think it helps a lot. I shot another one this morning and noticed it was a lot better. Of course I forgot to record that one. By the time the muzzle settled and I re-acquired the hog it was clear. Just in time for the damn thing to get up and run off in the woods. Lol

We HATE when that happens !!!!
