Hello everyone, I'm Ian and I live in Walderslade in Kent. I'm 57 and I returned to shooting about 18 months ago, after an absence of 40 years. Until now I have been shooting paper and knock downs, both at the range and in the back garden. My shooting buddy, who has a permission, has kindly offered to teach me the art of field craft on that permission.

He uses a torch, mounted to his scope, for night time shooting. I however, am interested in a NV set-up for my rifle, but preferably one I can use in the day too.
I have checked out the NS50/NS200 ranges, but have noticed the awkward shooting stance required with units that attach to ones own scopes ocular lens.

A shooter at the range recently allowed me to shoot his Pulsar digital NV something or othered HW100. Very nice piece of kit, but at a whooping £1000+ it ought to be.

I'd much prefer a dedicated night scope or to make one of my own, hence my joining this forum. I have an old mini DV camcorder, with night vision, knocking around here somewhere and was hoping to make use of it in my set up, or parts of it anyway. I have plenty of research to do of the many threads on the forum, before I start asking newbie questions.
I look forward to joining in and I'll try not to ask the questions that have already answered. All the best.
