Those types shouldnt be shooting full stop.

Like everywhere else, the shooting world is full of idiots.

Depends on the range, there isnt a scope or monocular out there that can definitely ID a fox past 300M .

You can get a good idea of what it is by the way it moves, but for those of us that are comfortable taking those longer shots at night, you cant beat a good NV scope or add on , that can positively see what is really there.

Well i don't know what you've been looking through but i can tell a fox passed 300 mtrs easily i haven't got the best scope on the market of today 

Not saying you will not get better clarity with NV but i can tell a fox at 300 mtrs  with thermal

If you can only see some of the heat source.. I'm not saying open field stood broad side.. I know of people I will never go shooting with as they have and still do shoot at eye shine!

Well i wouldn't be going with anyone who shoots at eye shine without identification first

this year i spent a total of 40mins at the show so not worth it.last one for me as there was nothing for sale.my mate who went on saturday spent 38mins at the show and could not buy anything he wanted either.he asked for a part and was looked at like a ******* alien.so he said again i need this this part and the guy on the stand said do you want to buy the gun.tried again but said this time do you want to buy a stock ***.he only wanted a small part that enabled the use of a sling that was missing from his 15-22.just aswell the parking was free.wasted journey for me so on the way back home i went to a gun shop and bought myself a black star as i had money left in my back pocket.

I was there around 4-5 hours, chatted to HIK team, pulsar team, and a few other stands about the new straight pull beretta, begara rifles and a few others, saw my local shop "Braces" there so had a catch up with them and had a good day of it. If you wander round for half hour how can you say it's not worth it when you probably drove for longer.. I do agree though, it's turning more into a trade show rather than a shopping day. So look at the kit then go buy online or at local RFD
