So my birthday was Monday 4/20, and so this past weekend my family and fiancé came to visit me up at school. Well my fiancé went well over the top with my birthday present, as I found a Bushnell Equinox Gen1 2×28 Night Vision Monocular was my gift. Now I have never had the chance to play with night vision before, but I am looking forward to seeing what this new toy will do. Preliminary tests in a blacked out dorm room have shown it to definitely make everything in it clearly visible, so I am waiting for this weekend to get outside and play in the dark. I am not expecting to suddenly have a unit that allows 300yds of visibility or anything like that but according to the manual it says roughly 200 meters is its max range so I will be happy with anything near 100yds. Hopefully I will be able to use this unit to give myself a small advantage in the realm of predator night hunting.
Anyone else use Night vision, if so any tips or tricks you picked up such as the IR flashlights they sell to attach to units etc.
