Welcome back to another SHOT Show 2025 interview here on the podcast. This time around we are honored to have Matt Farris, Product Line Manager at iRay USA with us today. As many of our viewers and listeners know iRay USA added another great brand to their line up in the fall with the addition of Nocpix thermal optics. With the release of 6 optics in late 2024 Nocpix hit the ground running as some of these optics have become some of the most popular in the market in only a couple short months. We're happy to announce that iRay USA is bringing even more great Nocpix optics to the market at SHOT and we predict some of these will be extremely popular for2025. Check out this interview and more with the other major thermal manufacturers released today, right here on The Late Night Vision Show!

If you're watching this episode and it looks familiar that's because it probably is! Today, we are once again happy to welcome Jeff Murray and Brent Pendergraft from Pulsar USA on to The Late Night Vision Show. Jeff and Brent were here a few weeks ago to announce the new line up of Thermion 2 LRF 60mm scopes. With both 640 and 1024 resolution optics in higher base magnifications hitting the market, Pulsar is once again making waves within the industry as they continue to improve and bring more optics that meet consumer demands. Check this show out to learn what's new with Pulsar USA for SHOT 2025.

It's mid-January so that means it's time to start getting ready for the SHOT (Shooting Hunting and Outdoor Trade) Show in Las Vegas! This is the "big" event for the hunting industry every year and it's were dealers and manufacturers meet to see new products, discuss business and plan for the future. On this episode Hans and Jason lay out their plans for SHOT and offer some predictions on what they expect to see at not just SHOT but also expected trends for the year. Be sure to tune in next week for their "Live from the SHOT Show" episode that will be filmed on the floor of the convention.

A lot of questions we get from our customers before they purchase at Outdoor Legacy are related to the different styles and form factors of the optics that they’re looking at. Whether it’s the traditional thermal scope style versus the 30mm daytime scope design, binoculars versus binoculars or other design questions, it can be very confusing. Each design has different pros and cons and each is right for different applications and hunting needs. On this wee’s show, Hans and Jason dig into the different designs and styles of thermal optics and explain what works best for different situations.

The standard has pretty much been set on The Late Night Vision Show that when we have Jeff Murray, Executive VP at Pulsar USA on the show, good things are coming. Today is no exception. We are excited to help Pulsar USA announce their all new line of Thermions. These three scopes have some major improvements across the board…..they will all have a 60mm objective lens, higher base magnifications,  a 2560x2560 high resolution display, they will all include a free American Defense Recon QD mount and they all include a built in LRF with a ballistic calculator. And the best news yet? Even with all the improvements and a free $240 mount, they will cost exactly the same as the models they are replacing! Listen as Jeff, Brent, Hans and Jason discuss these fantastic new scopes!

Happy New Year! As we start off 2025 at The Late Night Vision Show, Hans and Jason discuss the current trends we are seeing for the thermal and night vision industry. Things are quickly changing and improving on all fronts and we highlight some of the biggest trends and changes we see coming our way for the first part of the year. There are many exciting things going on with thermal and NV optics right now and they are all big benefits for hunters and new buyers. Listen in as we discuss these trends!

Welcome back to this week's edition of The Late Night Vision Show. On this episode Hans and Jason dive into an extremely relevant and current topic of thermal resolution vs optical magnification. As thermal prices continue to drop and now more and more 640 high resolution scopes are moving into the sub-$3,000 price range, there is a rush for many hunters to jump at the chance to finally own a 640 scope at a much more affordable price. The problem is many do not realize how important the base or optical magnification of their scope is and they are buying high resolution scopes to get that better image quality they want but the scopes they are buying don't have the magnification they need. Why does that matter? They end up with a worse user experience than if they'd stuck to a lower resolution scope with the proper magnification for their needs. Confused yet? Listen in and Hans and Jason will explain this extremely important topic in more depth and simplicity. We want to help you not make this costly mistake.

Welcome back! One of our favorite style of shows to make is our "questions and answers" episodes where we answer questions that our viewers and listeners have sent in to us or questions that we hear repeatedly on phone conversations with our customers at Outdoor Legacy. We like addressing these things publicly to hopefully help our viewers that make have some of the same questions of their own. This week we talk about everything from daytime thermal use, tripods and rifle calibers. If you have questions you'd like to hear us talk about, please leave them in the comments and we'll try to include them on our next Q&A episode.
