Short rat kill(s) video with my new Ghost and PARD DS 35 50 LRF setup

@rut That’s a lot of velocity for close-range ratting. But you put the smack down on those vermin!! Nice shooting and nice clear footage. I thought the noise was from your scope’s LRF. My NV008s makes a similar noise. When your battery has more of a charge is that noise gone or more subtle?

The noise is completely gone with a charged battery. When you watch the last two kills, you hear no background interference noise. Just the noise of the action of the gun. It only makes that noise ( first two video kills) when the battery is showing low.

@rut I see what you mean after watching again. Mine makes a pretty consistent noise as long as the LRF is in use. It doesn’t sound nearly as loud but it it definitely audible. I hope they fix that issue. I like the reticle you used as well. Do you usually take multiple batteries with you on a hunt? How long does a battery last you from full charge in your DS 35?

I like that reticle style to. When I had the NV008s, I didn’t have the noise as long as the battery was charged. Wonder if you should contact PARD if it’s constant on yours? I know mine didn’t. If I had to guess, I think I get about an 1 1/2 hrs constant run time,maybe a little more with me running the IR on its highest setting. Plus using the video feature. I also put it into sleep mode a lot after a shot, and when I’m walking around the farm to setup in different locations. Helps conserve the battery. And one click and you’re up and running. I do take multiple batteries with me when I go. 2 extra to be exact. This DS 35 50 is amazing. It is so much easier to use the menu function with the top turret of the scope compared to the NV008s LRF. And setting up the one shot zero and ballistic calculator is a breeze. Everything about new scope to me is just so much better.

@rut I meant the noise is consistent as long as the LRF os active. Especially if I leave it running. When I was hunting beaver with it, sometimes I’d have to track them in the water and I’d leave the LRF running so that I could make contact between their head and the laser. As long as the laser hit the water I rather got no reading or an inaccurate one. By the time it was time to shoot I didn’t bother to switch off the LRF so the sound is heard throughout the video. It’s a lot more subtle on mine though.
Are you using a hand scanner to locate the rats or just the scope? I was thinking of doing a little mouse shooting with some lead free pellets. Don’t want lead in the hay on pass throughs and missed shots.

I see what you’re saying. I still don’t recall any noise though. I only use the scope for spotting the rats. Been thinking about a thermal though lately…Here is a video I took when I had the NV008. You can see I left the rangefinder on through the shot and there was no noise.

@rut Yup. That’s it. I’m hearing the same noise in your video. Thermal is cool and has its place but NV also has its place. I own both and use them for different applications. If the area is clear without obstructions then an NV scope is just fine. It helps to use a handheld thermal scanner to locate animals in the dark and to use the NV to kill then.

The noise you’re hearing that you’re talking about is that slight hissing you hear in the background of the last video I just posted?

Ha! I don’t hear the clicking though in that last video of me dumping that rat off the feeder; only that low hisssss….This video is also with the NV008 when I had it.
