Anyone used one have any thoughts? Cloverleaf If your lamp is scope mounted it will be fine just keep the power down, if it's hand held it's tricky lining up your Archer, lamp beam and your intended target......been there tried that.

PESCA Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 You should do well with that setup. I've used my 170 and home-made IR filter and get a lovely clean beam. With my GEN1+ spotter, I've illuminated charlie at 600 yards, pinged with an rf. My beam doesn't have a distinct 'end' to the outside of the beam, but I'm guessing it's because it's not the factory filter. George Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George Hi, Well i bought a filter for the 140 off e bay and won it for £43 so saved some money there. had a quick look through the acher on wednesday but been to busy to go out but going tonight. well impressed with the unit. wont take ir filter tonight but will post how it goes.... what gen 1 spotter do you use? as i think my shooting mate may feel a bit in the dark ( excuse the pun) with the nv shooting and be good to get a spotter unit for him.

PESCA Posted January 22, 2012 Report Share Posted January 22, 2012 I personally use a Cobra Tracker, which is a true GEN1+, and is a world apart from GEN1 units. Not cheap, but well worth the money, IMHO. I mostly use it in it's 1x form, so that I get a huge field of view, but I also have a 2.7x lens for it.
