I had something like this happen and the fix wasn't what I expected. I am going to suggest you get on Facebook on the DNT Optics USA Info/User Group and post the query. Matthew Reinharndt will likely be the one to respond with the answer.

This is my 2nd time on it. The first time, I would get a scratch and it would bleed and bleed, even minor ones. So now, I am doing my best to not get cut because when you bleed and bleed inside your clothes (as happened going through a barbed wire fence, it gets messy. Sounds like the powder is a nicer version of the first(?) gen of Quick Clot I had years ago for major wounds.

@@CarpeSus Kwik Stop Styptic Powder. 2 days following a broken tooth surgery, a small "pumper" artery began to bleed profusely. As an Emergency Measure, we used this product on a moistened Black Tea bag and I clenched my teeth on it. It is all that got me to the surgeon for emergency surgery. The ingredients are human friendly. Best product for the purpose we've ever found. Indicated for small wounds--but I was bleeding profusely!

@@charlesmueller1119 SSTs are just a general purpose terrific round! Thanks!

@Gareth96v1 I can neither confirm or deny this is a prerelease brand new Rix tube optic with integrated lrf, bc, and 8 hour run time.

@@CarpeSus ;)

Good morning!

This is what I am using... manbily.com/products/manbily-wz-324pa-tripod-for-shooting--camera-with-picatinny-to-arca-swiss-adapter-360%C2%B0-ball-head-set-for-hunting

@@CarpeSus cheers. I use quad sticks, but I guess these are better if you're not walking as far as I have to when deer stalking (UK). And probably better for filming.

@@kristiangustafson4130 I have never seen quad sticks, LOL.

@@CarpeSus this is like my set-up. Very very stable shots, like bench-rest, but not so great at tracking targets. Very light, like a few hundred grams. kzbin.info/www/bejne/omLbhJ9jpamtfacsi=l3ikW0j0VMjlmLnz

Thank you, Damien. Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Merry Christmas and thanks for tuning in

Thank you so much! Merry Christmas!

Merry Christmas Yogi !

@@veteranironoutdoors8320 It will begin...

@@robw4ltz408 Ben likes to shoot all sorts of calibers. Right now, .223. I just prefer 6.5 Grendel.

I haven’t seen figures that high for kinetic energy but the percentages in difference are probably about right Has to do with mass of the projectile and the velocity of the round which correlates to brass case capacity and powder amounts In essence Grendel has more gunpowder and heavier bullets which equates to higher terminal effect

Thank you, Sir

@Kapok6 Good question. Unless using an air rifle, the optics are almost too poor for long range work at night to need the LRF and ballistic calculator. Rix Leap and Storm series do not have a built in LRF and BC. The Leaps have an add on LRF that will run the BC...but that came after I left. I would consider waiting to see what January brings with the Shot Show and NEW offerings. With that said, DNT Optics, Pard Optic, etc. may have what you need.

@CarpeSus thank you very much for the quick response! I grew up in the Midwest so we hunted with shotguns as rifles weren't allowed. Took all my deer with slug guns. Now I am trying to learn how to use rifles. I have a PSA 6.5 Grendel with 20" barrel. I can hit a prairiedog at 120yrds with my air rifles but trying to figure out this whole rifle thing has been a bit challenging. As a fellow Texan, (Fort Worth) and fan of your vids, keep em coming!

@Kapok6 Thanks!

@@Liam-randomstuff Life happens.

@@dogtaggers2312 The one that came with it.

Does it take hits? LOL.

​@CarpeSus whats funny?

@@caesar5555 Your query. What sort of hits?

@@CarpeSus let's see... ground, tree, stone

See if they will upgrade you! Seriously, this sort of thing happens with every night optics company. Unfortunately, you get to test the customer service. It should be good. Please report back here.

Got mine once focused worked great

Nah!

​@@CarpeSus I greatly appreciate how you are doing your videos. A little information never hurt anyone. Reminds me a little of Paul Harrel.

@@jorgemedina9629 They will handle 6000 joules, so yeah.

I think folks have options at a lot of weight levels. This is more steady than my Trigger Sticks, but less steady than a buddy's old school Manfroto video camera tripod that weights a ton (15 lbs?). I would guess your BOG is a big more steady than the Manbily, based solely on weight.

@@InWithBothFeet No, waiting until I am off restrictions from wrist surgery. And thank you.

@@CarpeSus I wondered if you ran out of bullets to test... you've covered a lot of them. Thanks.

@SuspiciousGanymede AAC Sabre Blade Black Tip? Yep.

@@jeffreinardy7570 Hogs can see fairly well and better than humans in the dark. Based on what Ben wears, it does not matter. I wear earth tones to mostly not stick out for those few times when it might.

Given that the rifle weighs more...

@lennardperry5184 Nothing at this moment. You have any suggestions?

@@CarpeSus I have always been a fan of the old school round nose bullets. if I can find some I will send them to you if you have a mailing address. your boys at druid hill can load for you.

I agree with you, but in reality, I think it is projecting straight forward, but so much of the shine catches the ground when you are at ground level. To answer your question, only the beam's zoom can be adjusted, not the direction it is aimed.

Ask a dealer who advertises. I don't see thermal to know.

This folks say they have them in stock. facebook.com/MissouriAirguns

@@madmaximilian5783 No argument. It is just what I do.
