DNT ThermNight TNC225R Digital NV Ranging Tests & 324 Yard Hog Down

[@pigpoppertx6926]

I believe 2025 is going to be the year of ballistic calculators THAT WORK ! Excellent job and my my my the digital capabilities of the DNT are very nice . . . CSMF

[@jeffabernathy1670]

I watched this video, did some looking, and ordered a thermnight optic the same night! Can’t wait to hunt with it!! Love your videos, sir!!

[@CarpeSus]

@@jeffabernathy1670 It is a nifty optic at a fine price.

[@charlesmueller1119]

Another great video Brian , yes ballistic calculators are really nice to have in the field .

[@edhavrilla2312]

Nice video and good information. Wish I had this calculator decades ago.

[@CarpeSus]

Yeah, no kidding!

[@mark_luna]

That’s an incredible shot with NV at that distance. Good scope, great shot!

[@Ab-om9qe]

That hold over reticle is really nice!

[@RanchTop]

Quite the poke. Good job!

[@gabem6362]

Hunting optics are getting better and better

[@patclark2186]

Agreed. I don't really shoot past 275 yards. But then I don't use a tripod either, Impressive shooting sir.

[@CarpeSus]

@@patclark2186 The calculator and shooting sticks did a lot of the work, lol.🤪

[@TeufelHandlanger]

NIce! I always like to have every possible advantage over the hogs.

[@jerahmyb4486]

Impressive OBI-WAN!

[@wookieecantina]

Very impressive!

[@martyn6792]

That scope is looking to be quite interesting Brian

[@CarpeSus]

Indeed!

[@JohnVentarino-ey5ln]

I can't wait to get this scope on my airgun. I been wanting a ballistic calculator scope since they came out for the fact they can show you exactly where to aim at different yardages.

[@CarpeSus]

Yes, and from what I have seen of airgun vids using it, it works with pellets (apparently some ballistic calculators aren't set up for projectiles so lightweight).

[@JohnVentarino-ey5ln]

@CarpeSus yea I know but I use 55 grain slugs in my LESHYI 2 PCP.

[@cw2a]

Noyce shot Bri!

[@greggeis918]

Can you adjust the IR illuminated? It looked like it was a bit low. Also curious how to dial in the thermal zero. I would think it would be hard to see your bullet impact on thermal with paper. I also saw it had a picture shift function that I thought might be used to zero it based on the day/night picture but I wasn’t sure and couldn’t find it clearly explained.

[@CarpeSus]

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.

[@djurex5494]

Excellent IR and good to mention chemtrails even people don't want to see them..

[@DNTShooter2024]

How do you activate the IR illuminator ?

[@CarpeSus]

@@DNTShooter2024 Left button on main control panel.

[@mtvagency4468]

Hello. Does the holdover reticle move/change position if you move ot another further or nearer target or you can lock/unlock it like the Pard please?

[@CarpeSus]

@mtvagency4468 Hopefully, this will answer your query, but I have never used the Pards. Locking and unlocking as I understand does happen just by ranging a new target.

[@mtvagency4468]

@CarpeSus so we can lock (auto-ranging/holdover cross doesn't move anymore even if we change distance) and then unlock to stop the auto-ranging . Correct?

[@CarpeSus]

@mtvagency4468 When the LRF is ranging, say you range the given target at 321 yards, you set the distance and via the ballistic calculator, an adjustment is made to the crosshairs which will remain until you go back to active ranging.

[@mtvagency4468]

@@CarpeSus great. That's what I meant. Thank you

[@mdn3518]

Does muzzle flash have any negative effect to the Night Vision?

[@CarpeSus]

@@mdn3518 Muzzle Flash will produce a visual flash through the scope. The real issue on calm days is the smoke and debris from the shot. When using an IR illuminator, the smoke and debris will reflect the IR illuminator. In a breeze, you may hardly notice it. In very calm conditions, the smoke may hang in the air and blind the shooter until the smoke clears. With thermal, this is not an issue.

[@mdn3518]

What is the eye relief of this optic?

[@WvMnts]

How clear is it on thermal mode zoomed in? Currently don’t own a thermal and wanting one

[@CarpeSus]

@WvMnts Thermal is not the strong optic here. It is only 256 resolution. The image only gets worse with digital zooming ( as with all digital zooming). At 2 times mag it is 128 resolution, or 1/4 of what it was.

[@CarpeSus]

@WvMnts I have some zoom examples in the next video.

[@montimahner9357]

Why can’t I find these anywhere ??

[@CarpeSus]

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

[@CarpeSus]

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

[@texas_militia98]

i must ask why ditch the thermite for the yoder and what is the yoder priced at

[@CarpeSus]

Good questions. I am not ditching the ThermNight. I am returning it. It and the Super Yoter LRF are loaners, as have been numerous other scopes I have demo'd on my channel. The Super Yoter LRF is running $4650 from what I see online.

[@alanschultz4245]

I just received mine that i ordered. I got it all mounted up and went to zero it in. In the middle of the day i can't even make out the target at 50 yards!!! Soooo blurry that you can't even see the target!!! Very disappointed.

[@CarpeSus]

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.

[@0barnarb]

Got mine once focused worked great

[@damienmilas8337]

I totally agree with the other comments that the hold over reticle is totally awesome my how far we have come in regards to technology nice hog by the way good job mate and a sow to top it off 👍🦘🇭🇲
