Morning All - I see my video has caused a little stir. May I just clarify a few points mentioned in the above thread responses. Sorry for not jumping in sooner by the way, I have a busy business to run and log on when I get a few spare minutes. A.) Three rabbits were shot using the device that night. I was only out for 20 minutes, as it was raining and the battery was running low on the NV. Any animals apparently wounded on the video were swiftly despatched when the unit was turned off and located by torch light. B.) The muntjac was not shot. It is illegal to use either NV to shoot deer without a DEFRA issued licence OR to shoot a deer with a .22LR. I have shot for 21 years and have worked in the trade for 16 of these . I understand the law. it was viewed through the scope when the rifle had been unloaded on the walk back to the vehicle. A nice little interlude. C.) No unsafe shots were fired. The picture does not adequately show the valley rising behind all shots. This is a 500 acre rolling Cotswold farm - one of several I shoot over - and I know where I can, and cannot take shots, regardless of time of day. D.) The standard of my shooting. Well, it was not great, but to be honest, when rabbits are causing ££thousands of pounds worth of damage to crops, and they really are on this farm, the harsh reality is, you have to shoot them. It is very easy on these forums to adopt a 'Holier than thou' and 'One Shot, One Kill' mentality, from the comfort of your office and keyboard. I usually find this mind set comes from people with limited shooting experience, who shoot a few rabbits a year at 20 yards with a thousand pound precharged air rifle, through one eyeball. Great, good for you, but shoot enough animals in your time and you will injure a few. It is for the hunter to rapidly follow up wounded quarry and despatch it humanely and as effieciently as possible. We have all see driven pheasant shoots to appreciate that 'one shot, one kill' is something best saved for idealists, not realists. Again, shoot enough - and we are out very regularly culling good numbers of rabbits and foxes - and you will injure the odd animal. Get over it - it happens. Follow up swiftly and humanely. That is the least we owe that animal. As for the quality of the footage, the sight performs better than any Generation 2 unit I have see, and I have seen a lot. The view through the unit is much better than this video reproduction, after it has been run through a digital recorder and piped in a low-res version on to the tinternet. I have a waiting list for them and a demo unit here on site. Come and see one for yourself. Kind regards to you all, Al.

After all the interest in the new Pulsar DigiSight N550, here one is in use. Excuse my **** poor shooting, I just wanted to get a few images of the device being used at night on the 'net, as many people have been enquiring in to how effective it is. You get fox size target recognition to 200 yards, and due to its 4.5 x magnification, reasonable shot placement to 100 yards with a centrefire foxing set up. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xkoLyoniUwQ

NJC, you did not mention this to your local RFD!! naturally, in my cabinet I have such a beastie - do you want to borrow it??

The new Pulsar unit is INCREDIBLE value for money and outperforms even generation 2 equipment. I have had 3 in stock and sold already, with more to come in early February, where we have another 7 units backordered. This shall be the latest and best thing to happen to NV in 2010!

I would have to agree that getting them to the local RFD is the best bet - we get it a lot here, for various reasons and the cops always prefer guns on someones ticket, rather than floating around out there. An RFD can hold them in store, or transfer to a chums certificate. You would be surprised if you knew what I have had handed in over the years!!
