rat shooting at night

[jenky]

night vision isnt really a viable option yet.

the garden i full of bushes and mesh fences you have to shoot threw and all you get is flash back with the IR light.

my plan is still the best i can think of, ill be ordering some IR led flood lights to set up inside the shoot area so we can stand back threw the bushes and behind the fence but the light will only be in the area we want to be shooting in. so we should be able to view threw all the bstructions without the glare of the IR whiting out the nv.

the range we were shooting at was under 10 yards. we sat on the path and a rat was sniffing at my jacket while we were sat.

ive used the red filter on the torch and i thought it worked ok but you said it was scaring them away?

No mate, the bright white light scared them away. the red filter was very effective at not scaring them away straight away.

EDIT: Sorry, i got you mixed up with the OP and i thought you were asking me about the filter. The OP said his red laser was scaring them away. i'll stay off this thread before i confuse anyone anymore. Sorry lads.
