OniCK RM-612L infrared rangefinder thermal imaging riflescope is a device that adds infrared rangefinder function on the basis of thermal imaging riflescope; laser rangefinder technology is usually used. The riflescope emits a beam of infrared laser. When the laser hits the target object, part of the laser will be reflected back and received by the receiver of the riflescope. The following are the core processes and precautions for hunting with infrared sights, which are explained in combination with equipment operation and actual combat scenarios:
1. Equipment installation and calibration
Applicable weapon types
The infrared sight needs to be matched with hunting weapons (such as compound bows, air rifles, shotguns, etc.), and fixed by rails or special clamps to ensure stable installation.
Example: Some infrared sights are compatible with Picatinny rails, and interface compatibility needs to be checked.
Calibrate zero position
In daytime or in a well-lit environment, first calibrate the weapon trajectory through a conventional optical sight;
After turning on the infrared sight, adjust the reticle or electronic mark according to the actual range to ensure that it is consistent with the weapon trajectory.
2. Operation mode and function application
Night mode selection
After turning on the infrared mode, the screen displays the heat source image (such as white heat and black heat modes), and the high-contrast pseudo-color mode is preferred to distinguish the prey from the background;
Adjust the sensitivity according to the target distance (for example, when the detection distance reaches 3 kilometers, it is necessary to switch to a high-magnification lens)
Dynamic tracking skills
Use thermal imaging characteristics to identify hidden targets (such as wild boars behind the bushes and nocturnal birds), and lock live targets through body temperature differences ;
Short-distance hunting (within 50 meters) can be combined with the point temperature measurement function to confirm the target's core temperature to avoid misjudgment .
3. Optimization of actual combat scenarios Environmental adaptability adjustment
Time period selection : Prioritize use in the early morning, night or low temperature environment, when the prey's body temperature is more different from the ambient temperature, and the image is clearer ; Interference avoidance : Avoid strong light sources (such as direct moonlight areas), high-temperature rocks and other interfering heat sources to reduce false alarms .
Collaborative equipment matching
Use a thermal imaging monocular observer to expand the search range, and switch to an infrared sight to accurately lock after the target is found ; In complex terrain, a laser rangefinder can be combined to quickly calculate the shooting distance and correct the trajectory deviation . IV. Precautions
Legality and compliance: Some countries restrict the use of infrared equipment for hunting (such as protected species and hunting bans), so you need to check local regulations in advance;
Battery life and protection: The battery life may be shortened in low temperature environments. It is recommended to carry a backup power supply, and the equipment must be shockproof and moisture-proof;
Safety and ethics: Avoid using it on non-target organisms (such as livestock and protected animals), and confirm the legality of the target before shooting.
By reasonably configuring the equipment functions and optimizing the environmental adaptability, the infrared sight can significantly improve the hunting efficiency at night and in complex environments, while strictly complying with the safety and ecological protection principles.
