All Things PARD Night Vision & Thermal Optics - Master Thread
I'm having the same issue's with my 4k. Have mounted it to a Hatsan sb65 elite and am not able to get it to zero on the Y. I see there is a 2025 firmware now. Did anyone manage to get it running? Mine does not want to update to this firmware.Hi.
According this vid, Pard Night Stalker 4k has "Y" reticle adjustment more then +-75 (at this vid (Y: -126)
But I can't set a "Y" number higher than +75 or -75, what makes zeroing impossible. And the device Night Stalker 4k is useless.
Any ideas what it is?
PARD_Tech help please
PS. Installed latest firmware Nightstalker 4K, Release Date: 2024/04/29 (FWPDDS37.bin)

Golf cart to have a different job

I hunt 99 percent of the time from a ground blind (coyote racoons and woodchucks). set game cams out then setup the blind accordingly. I hunt Tethered and from a tri-pod and that can create a problem with setting up the tank and regulator, I realize it's not a new idea just thought I would share. The cart will be able to mount a 6.8-liter CF tank and above it a mounted inline regulator. It will soon get a cameo paint job and I will post again when completed.

Man oh man - what an ugly experience! No wonder the gruff. I’ll go on record here as saying “99%” of ALL the HFT people I’ve met were the exact opposite of the experience you had - even the mental ones like meI hear ya. I definitely believe in the law of attraction. I also give people the benefit of the doubt first.
At my first attempt (as a complete noob) in long range rifle (NRA High Power Match), I asked the guy I got "squadded" with a question about the bullet drop at this distance. His answer, "It's your rifle, you're own your own." I don't THINK he said that. He actually said it (verbatim) and then went back to measuring his cartridges. He was a dick.
The 3rd time I went, I brought my daughter. They squad'ed us together, which we wanted, because we were sharing the rifle. But instead of putting us each into a "relay" (1st and 2nd relay)... they forced both of us into a single relay. So instead of the 20 minutes a shooter gets in his / her relay, we had to split it, into 10 minutes each. In hindsight, I should have just bowed out and let my daughter shoot the full 20 minute relay. They were jerks about it. And it was my 16 year old daughter's first (and last) competition. She's actually a VERY good shooter, by the way, and has serious potential as a competitor.
Nope... I tried competitive shooting.... and it sucked. I'm a pretty good shooter, too. I've been in the firearms world for a very long time. I find most shooters at the range to be great people and I enjoy being around them. I like gun people! I will often offer other shooters the opportunity to fire my guns (I've got some interesting pieces). So, this is not a case of "seeing the world negatively." I'm a very positive person and happy in life. I'm also a "people person." Ask my wife! I'm the social butterfly of the family. But shooting competitions?? Multiple sequential bad experiences... specific to shooting competitions.
Sorry for the thread drift! But now I know the reason for the giant parallax wheels!
Give us a try sometime and I think you’ll be very pleased!!!

Even worse would be to have the cops show up and find me drunk and surrounded by guns and ammo.. especially those cops that consider airguns to be firearms.

60 yard GK1 headshot
There has been an explosion of cottontails in Central Minnesota this year. Are there cycles in cottontail populations? Nice shooting by the way. I've yet to try out the GK1 platform yet. Looks like fun!!While considering re-attaching the Corcorran shoulder-stock to my .22 GK-1 today, I decided to check how well she's held zero while sitting domant for three months in pistol form. Upon confirming she's still zeroed to be 1" low at 50 yards, I couldn't resist an ATV ride around my 30 acre homeplace.
The place virtually overrun with cottontails lately, one made the mistake of presenting itself at too challenging distance to resist attempting the long shot off the makeshift rest over the Polaris steering-wheel.
The battery being dead in my rangefinder, I relied on familiarity with my home terrain to guesstimate the range, and held a couple inches above the (broadside) skull. The audio (crack) and visual (backflip) confirmed the 22.07 grain JTS at 880 FPS muzzle velocity had struck home where intended.

Sixty-one purposely-long paces to the poleaxed bunny confirmed my 60 yard guesstimate close enough for government work. This being a new long-shot record for my air pistol hunting, sometimes it's hard to consider the GK-1 an AIR pistol.
Correction- OFTEN hard to consider the GK-1 an AIR pistol!
Although the GK with shoulder-stock and 3-7X rifle scope is a most deadly rig, I'm reconsidering attaching the stock now.

EaZy Trigger Fill for PCPs

Hold up...
Did I read that right? Did they recommend to bleed it off after filling the gun? Do they mean bleed the whip between the tank and the EZ? If so, would that not defeat the purpose of the dang thing in the first place?
I must admit... I was one that got suckered into buying an original for $180. If I'm in that big of a hurry to refill the gun and continue shooting I'll just leave the tank tethered.
As for wasting air... that's why I own compressors.
Maybe I should offer mine up in the classifieds.

You know something we are all seeing today. Lack of parts? I have 3 compressors down. Waiting on parts.
i,m a hot & cold shooter. In the winter I do not shoot much. Even in the summer not that much as others do.
i use to, but today I have many other interest. but in saying that, I can not imagine if I shot as much as some
on the form. Is the cheap compressor market keeping new people from hanging with this hobby. We shall
see.
