In general, people need to realize they will not typically shoot as good of groups with thermal as a high quality glass scope. Some of the challenges impacting thermals include:
First, it is hard to get an exact aiming point. The cross method works about the best for me vs a larger square. Image bloom is also a culprit to lots of poor groups.
Second, lots of thermals simply don't have the accuracy people are used to with using a glass scopes as you are seeing an electronic interpretation of the target. You add the fact the digital image is redrawn after each NUC based on complex algorithms and movement can and does happen. Different brands and models of thermal scopes shoot better groups also.
Third, image quality decreases dramatically on a thermal scope once digital zoom is deployed, so it can get really difficult to get a large sight picture of the aiming point like you can with a glass scope. 1 pixel is still 1 pixel when it is zoomed in digitally on a thermal. These are just a few of the reasons.
Igor, I think most people would take that group with a thermal. Groups like that should lead to a dead coyotes and/or hogs.
