[QUOTE="Zen Archery, post: 2803023, member: 60545"] I shoot for NVO. Demoed Yoter, a FLIR (discontinued to public), and an an L3 LWTS ($18-22k) Thermal. Yoter and FLIR are cumbersome to align. Anything over a 3x zoom, image became hazy, FOV limited and heat signature was not crisp. With Yoter and FLIR I could only maintain about a 1.5 MOA threshold, putting in and taking off. The FLIR was heavy the Yoter tolerable. Worst of all you are using or aligning the thermal crosshair to your scope or using just the thermal crosshair and ignoring your scopes cross hair. L3, when using a $18-20k you get what you pay for. Clip on thermals in thr $16k+ are true clip on and go. Nothing to align. Light weight. No FOV issues since you are using your day scope. Most middle to high end thermals have quality QD mounts like Bobro or American Defense. Buy a quality QD rail for day scope and swap in between. I’ve had no issues doing this for the past 7 years.
