Phill-W68 547 Posted January 10, 2019 Report Share Posted January 10, 2019 Went to the perm last night just after dark for a walk round not been for a few weeks, got there and realised i hadn't put the nv rangefinder back in the bag after a gunbag clean out, so i thought id give it a try ,so after checking my zero on a step by step marked post at 35yds it was good but 3 or 4 misses later this distance estimation in the dark is bloody hard..Well it was for me but this one was not so lucky guessed range was 40 yds didn't want to chance getting closer as id already scared if off once and had to follow so took it off the promo sticks at a guessed 40yds and down it went,after that I called it a night... 6 Quote Link to post
