lowland keeper Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 well I have had my arrow over three weeks . it took a bit of time to get it zeroed a great bit of kit have the fire fly ir killing stuff 150 yards no problem but can pick foxes rabbits a lot further out . I took it to dorset to four other keepers to have a look , two of them have archers they were surprised how good it was . the arrow has a smaller field of view but its a lot cheaper. Julia will be pleased to no you have two more to sell if any one is looking to buy any kind of digital nv try the arrow from starlight Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my Archer i use it on all my rifles just stick it on and focus it then off to go. Also how does it effect field of view i know the Archer does if you wind up mag on scope. Might have a look at 1 of these myself for rabbits .atb Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Still interested if anyone has run one on a fix mag non pa scope like a s&b 6x42 or 8x56. Or if anyone has one near Lichfield I can try out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney 66 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Do you find if you set this up in daytime is it the same picture at night ? or do you have to set it at night ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Same as the archer it goes on an already zeroed scope Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barney 66 Posted June 7, 2014 Report Share Posted June 7, 2014 Thanks, I did mean for image though not to zero, in Colins first post he had trouble at night setting up, could he have done the set up of the Arrow in day time and had the same image at night, I know you can't with an archer as its tubed but would it be possible with digital ?

lowland keeper Posted June 8, 2014 Report Share Posted June 8, 2014 the only reason it took a bit of time to zero it was on the arrow has its own focus and I had my scope mag to high; bought it back to six mag. played with arrow focus and side focus no problem so human error and the field of view is a smaller picture / I use a 4x16x50 and on the archer they had a 3.5x16x50 I hope this helps but Julian is so helpful well I have had my arrow over three weeks . it took a bit of time to get it zeroed a great bit of kit have the fire fly ir killing stuff 150 yards no problem but can pick foxes rabbits a lot further out . I took it to dorset to four other keepers to have a look , two of them have archers they were surprised how good it was . the arrow has a smaller field of view but its a lot cheaper.

yarns Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 I am currently trialling both of the Arrows. Initial results show that apart from a few minor niggles, the units perform really well. The high tech ones picks up bunny eyeshine easily at 300m plus using the Firefly laser. At close range such as 50m there is a lot of glare which needs to be filtered out using the focus on the laser and the brightness controls on the unit. Surprisingly, the lower spec one gives a very clear image out to 150m plus, with bunny eyeshine out to 250m. This image using the Firefly on the cheaper model is in my opinion better than the dearer one, which makes it ideal for air rifle and rimfire use. I will submit a further update in a few days time when I have pushed the two units to the limit. One thing that was very noticeable was that the Firefly outperformed my Nightmaster 800 by miles, the only drawback being that it is quite bright and maybe detectable by foxes and bunnies at close ranges. I believe that Starlight have come in for a bit of stick over delivery dates, but based upon my initial trials, the delay should be well worth it.

welshwarrior Posted July 5, 2014 Report Share Posted July 5, 2014 (edited) Good write up but what scopes are using? Edited due to double posting text. Edited July 5, 2014 by welshwarrior Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yarns Posted July 6, 2014 Report Share Posted July 6, 2014 Hi.....I am using two identical Bushnell 6500 Elites, which are OK for rimfire and FAC air rifle use. I keep the magnification always on 6x, which I find suits both versions of the Arrow. I had a brief play using the Firefly on my Photon and that appeared to give good results. Will have a more detailed test tonight. Just as an aside I have used all the digital NV that has come on the market, and rate the Photon as best value. However I am led to believe that there may be a new scope coming out in the not too distant future that operates as a normal day scope, but at the touch of a button, it transforms into a digital night sight, and the price will not be a silly one. Night vision technology is moving ahead rapidly with items becoming overtaken within a few months of their launch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
