It's essential to thoroughly understand your hunting area, and one of the most effective ways to do this is by using a pair of binoculars. Having a dedicated pair of binoculars separate from your rifle scope allows you to scan an area without needing to have your rifle in hand.
Binoculars equipped with night vision allow you to scan the environment at night just as you would during the day. Night vision works by amplifying all available ambient light, such as that from the moon and stars. This amplification enables you to see objects at night that would otherwise be invisible to the naked eye, extending your range and visibility.
Thermal imaging devices detect heat signatures, allowing for the detection of targets from farther away and more quickly than night vision. When targets get closer, switching to night vision enables better target identification. Devices that combine both thermal imaging and night vision offer the best of both worlds, letting you detect targets from a distance and identify them up close.
Pulsar’s new Merger Duo NXP50 multispectral binoculars integrate both thermal and digital night vision imaging in a single unit. They pair light amplification with onboard IR illumination to further illuminate your field of view and extend your nighttime detection range. This combination makes the Merger Duo NXP50 a powerful tool for nighttime hunting.
