More airgun shooters are switching to thermal optics for after-dark pest control. The reason for this is the fact that it is impossible to fail to notice the glow of a quarry animal's heat signature when viewed through these devices. And because thermal imagers don't use a light source there is no beam to betray your presence – you can carry out your observations and shooting with total stealth from the cover of complete darkness.
