Cranfield Posted January 18, 2017 Report Share Posted January 18, 2017 I am shooting quite a few barns with poor lighting (even on bright days), it can take ages to try to be sure that the crosshairs are on the target. Introducing light, in the form of a torch spooks the birds. Have there been any improvement in lazer sights, the last time I looked at these about 10 years ago they were very poor at holding zero. Or any other ideas would be welcome, I doubt if I could justify night sight type equipment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted January 19, 2017 Report Share Posted January 19, 2017 (edited) Buy a cheap illuminated reticle scope. My S410 had a Nikko Sterling 4to12 X50 30mm tube and it was a cheapy that worked well. Edited January 19, 2017 by figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stonepark Posted January 22, 2017 Report Share Posted January 22, 2017 Red or green led torch won't spook as much but will let you see the bird, illuminated recticule will allow you to see crosshairs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
