Lol. My evolution happened rather quickly. I hunted with red lights and then went with a cheap thermal and as with most things you get what you pay for. I went looking for a better set-up and I got into the I-ray 640 thermals. I'm a gear junky, always have been so it's only matter of time before I buy the next toy. I've gotten, a new caller, a scanner, a better tripod, a suppressor, more rifles, another suppressor. I can't help myself, and I'm afraid this condition is terminal...lol
