Hi all,

I registered on here a little while back but have not had the time to ask/do etc. what I initially joined for. I do have a little more time now so will be making more appearances.

A little about me:
I am 33 years old, born and bred in Houghton Regis, Bedfordshire.
I have been married for 6 1/2 years and have 3 kids.
I've worked on the railway for around 15 years primarily as a maintenance/renewals contractor but have recently started a new role as a Trainee HSQE (Health, Safety, Quality and Environment) Advisor. (please don't hold that against me, I honestly want to make changes for the better for the guys on the ground)
I am just starting to get back into air rifles (with my son in tow) having not picked one up since i was a kid. This is the main reason for my interest in night vision.

Anything further you want to know just ask.

Hello there and welcome to the forum

Could you please add a location to your profile.

Thanks.
George

welcome to the forum mate

you've come to the right place for NV info, plenty of helpful lads on here to steer you in the right direction


cheers jock

Hi hutty - welcome to the forum mate. Have you got a name BTW?

I'm going to stick my neck out and be Mr. Boring Sensible Bloke for a change and recommend you get back into shooting again first by daylight, then by lamp - and only then NV.

That will give you puh-lenty time to salt a bit of pocket money away each week for a while. This NV lark is improving almost by the month now that there are so many people getting involved and digital cameras are coming on in leaps and bounds.

I would hazard a guess that the most feasible components we currently use will not be the best option by next winter.

Being a bit clumsy, I'm hoping that's not too heavy a reply to an introduction post mate.

Thanks for the welcome guys.

'some bloke', Jay is my name but it's always taken as a username, unless i want something like '25437453' following it!

When I say I'm just getting back into air rifles, I bought a couple of cheapies around May last year that I've been playing/tuning/practicing with. I've just not got into it quite as much as I'd hoped I would have by now due to work.

I have just finished my first nv setup (literally 5 minutes ago) and i'm pretty happy with it. Even more so that it only cost me about £45! I think I've got the bug now though so will definatley start saving to splash out a bit on the next setup I build.
