judging distances with night vision?

[jenksi87 3]

as above, when i am shooting i have to look through my scope, then over/ around it, then back through my scope so as i can judge the distance. i am wondering how you go about this when using night vision as you cannot see what your aiming at with your naked eye? sorry if its a thick question, which no doubt it will be. but if u dont ask you dont find out

There is no such thing as a thick question, only daft answers. There are more ways of doing that. One is to use the AO of your scope i.e. You adjust the scope to get a sharp sight picture and then look at the distance that it is set at. Another way of doing it is to range it over the day. A range finder helps as well but that one was a bit to obvious. Last but not least, the mildot scope comes in handy sometimes.

As above if you know your scope it's recticle & or mildot you can judge the distance of your Quarry in the sight picture, most scopes have a range finder, it is also good to use fence posts fence mesh as a guide to compare with. As a lad I would place dead rabbits at 30 40 50 60 & 70 yards then sight in on them working out there size in the recticle, you can do this on slopes & inclines as this can be a very different shot with trajectory, but with time you will look at your quarry & know at a glance by size & backdrop it's distance.

i'm not mate, it was just something that i couldnt fathom out. i will save the night vision for when i eventually buy a daystate, for now though the fn19 will have to do, allthough i cant complain as its bowling bunnys over for me and thats all i ask of it.
