FLIR recon outfitted with an extender and LRF. Nice unit capable of looking out around 6-8 miles in ideal conditions at man size targets! It is also very accurate when acquiring distance with the LRF.

I’m assuming the flir system was used to spot trace rather than just target distance??

If this equipment is required to be competitive, (Referring to the FLIR) I don’t see the sport long lived or popular.

The system was used to verify range and angle to the far targets. The shooting and wind/spotting was done with old fashioned spotting scopes.

The FLIR system was used to verify range to the target. We did not utilize it during shooting.

Only an $80000 Flir Recon B2-FO a $10000 extender lens, peanuts really… and kind of silly using one in the day.

This is phenomenal. Good on them!

I couldn’t care less about the guys here in Texas burning out barrels for a single impact on steel at 4K plus yard…. but quick hits at 2.1 miles and Litz’s group show that there’s more out there.

Understandably, a 600 yard difference at that range is EXPONENTIALLY harder….. but still, this article is infinitely more impressive- at least to me.

Mind-boggling numbers.
