    Lets shoot for Friday at 3:00. The MCopa Cabana. Bring SBR's, loud brakes and hot ammo. And a coyote call

    Gunz, get us one of those NV Set ups like the last one you had. Invite marky mark.

    thanks for the pics macmillan. that's exactly what i was looking to sort out. my long range bolt gun is down at the moment and I won't have time to work on it until after the PRS finale in Dec. I've been playing with carbines at night lately though.

    I need to work on better carbine targets for night use. I like the instant feedback of steel, but i definitely don't like shooting it at close range and i definitely don't like the splash you get off it with the laser. ipsc silhouettes work, but they're kind of a PITA to paste wearing nods

    I have to clarify with you. Is the 300 AM or PM?

    Thing with color is not so simple. I have one pair of black shoes that shows up as black through NVD's and another pair that shows up as white.

    Reason for this is that colors are wavelengths within visible spectrum, and NVD's are most sensitive totally outside our eyes capabilities. NVD's do not see the colors we see, any of them, very well at all. Why some objects seem "white" and others "black through the NVD's is simply because all surfaces reflect many different wavelengths, including NIR spectrum where NVD's are sensitive. Relative whiteness of an object depends on it's capability to reflect NIR wavelengths that the eye doesn't see.

    Black showed well because that particular paint didn'reflect NIR wavelengths and contrast between foliage and dirt (that reflect NIR rather well) was large.

    Nerd out!
