Deerguy, you like highlander or something? Seeing as how you been a pro staff since 1016....I bet you got lots of good experience with shooting during all them wars since then

I've noticed something with my ATN 3-12x wrt focus and IR ability. I use a UNV20 with it.

One of my hunting spots is a fence crossing 168 yards from my tripod. It's shaped like a funnel from 7 - 15 yards wide. It has trees and bushes on both sides of the trail causing IR bounce/reflections. No feeder, pipe or lights there. I lay corn the afternoon before my hunts. I have a camera facing the crossing that takes a 10 second video after 3 pictures. Here's what I noticed.

At that distance, I can only see clearly in 3 - 4x power but beyond that, it's a guess sometimes just to determine the head and rear of the hog when they're eating the corn on the ground. When the camera video fires up, the entire pig or deer just becomes very clear and lit up. Focus is spot on and I can see all movements the pig moves. I find myself waiting until the video comes on to take the shot.

MY question is will a more powerful and pinpoint IR give me this scope clarity at similar distances is these type of "funnel" spots? What is this model IR?

I know that hunting large food plots where IR has nothing to reflect back, I can use the scope beyond 300 yards

Thoughts?

Installed it and put the last x-y numbers in. 10 rounds in 2in. ring around the bullseye at 100yrds. I now have sound using windows movie maker but still no sound with windows media player.
