I know what you are saying Andy but I was just trying to show what a fox size target looks like through the Drone at a measured 400yrds I know I would not be able to identify that fox at that distance if Mark hadn't said what he was looking at.

Dac9976 Posted February 27, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 27, 2014 If it's good out to 250yrds then that's what I'm looking for:) seems to be a decent price too. Cheers Danny. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunndog Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi, I spoke to starlight last week, and I could not pin them down on a supply date for the higher spec unit, I asked what distance I could expect using a NM800ir and they said about 180 yds, but much further if I used the quantum firefly lazer, which they make of course!! As I need to get out to 200yds + I decided to go for a Nite Tec nt300 from Marky610 off the nightvision forum, nice compact unit with video out facility, three models, nt120, nt200, and nt300, numbers refer to yardage capability. Regards Aj 180yrds with an nm800.....for the high end model! i'd forget it at that lads. most of you will have heard of a watec d.i.y addon. well one of them will give you over 200yrds with a nm800. and they can be built for 200 quid or so, granted that would be a screened set up but it makes the 800-900 quid arrow look a bit sick .....adam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JB1 Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 I've been reading with interest and can't hold back after reading the post regarding the Archer and NM800ir, I dumped the firefly(literally in a pile of poo some were lost forever)in fact I believe it actually spooked a couple of Fox's and replaced it with the NM800ir mounted on the arche & use that as a spotter, once spotted Fox it's mounted and then use a scope mounted nm800ir with 2 battery's and the larger lens. I've head shot rabbits at 200yards + 300yard fox's would not be a problem, but not for me not night time.I'm happy with mine its serves a purpose, its sorted out problem fox's that maybe I could have sorted with out NV but most probably took allot more of my time up.. Obviously not reading enough, silly me, the reference was regarding the "Arrow" not the Archer, sorry folk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sunndog Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 fair point. if the top model uses the watec board cam and 640x480 display then i'v got an addon here of the same spec. and it does work very well, 180yrds is no problem with a t20 illuminator.

sunndog Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 it was one i made mate, and has since been pulled apart for other builds using the watec board cam (which i keep hearing is in the top arrow) it was just too bulky. iirc the watec cam was 48mmx48mm and double boarded. the E700 camera (nt300, and most d.i.y rigs nowadays) is 30mmx30mm which makes a huge difference to the size of housing needed to put it in as i say, it did work well and with a 66mm oslon based i.r it was good for a 300yrd fox shot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Montey Posted February 28, 2014 Report Share Posted February 28, 2014 Hi ergid I've dumped the fire fly and added a nm800ir with a leupold mk4 14x50 mill dot I'm having trouble seeing the rectangle I shot a small plastic bottle at 120 yards off the bonnet of the land rover with a heavy bag no problem But missed the first fox when I used sticks ive got the Lupe turned rite down on mag but the Archer magnifies any movement I've shot a couple of rabbits now but still not that impressed for the money Going to try it on my S&B 5-25x56PMII when the weather allows any advise would be great thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
