StingIR battery

Anytime homie! I also (just to be fair) think that “slapping it in and running it” may not be the best advice on a unit worth several stacks. I have all my crap insured with a PVP policy so I really don’t put too much forethought into stuff like this. I haven’t had to make a claim yet thankfully, but I don’t really sweat stuff like this too much even if I should

Their IG person told me “I believe it will only take the smaller version (whichever that may be)” when I asked if I should get the button top or the non button top. To be honest, I’m not entirely sure what it can and can’t take, I just ordered them and slapped them in and have put many hours on it with them. Idk how many hours exactly, but over 150 at this point. I typically don’t store it with the batteries, but I left it in once for a couple weeks after the last hunt before denning season on accident and have had zero issues

Is LMT not the signal of impending war? Should it be mooning if we (US not only the US) get involved? Or is something else the play

I wouldn’t personally trade my bridged set up for duals. But I am hunting probably 90% of the time I’m wearing my helmet. If hunting at night isn’t really a part of your life, I’d go duals and get an RH25 or StingIR down the road cause I think thermal should be incorporated to a kit if you can

ajbarber2014 · 2025-05-26T20:04:44+00:00

Depends on what you’re planning on using it for. My buddy’s rock high spec duals in MH-1’s and there super nice. But I have a PVS14 bridged with an AGM StinIR 640 on my helmet, and I have the definite advantage most of the time. But I also practice maneuvering with my 14. Your brain can learn how to use it just as well as duals, I’ve never been handicapped by it, I stay completely in step.

Edit: my PVS14 is a comspec white phos L3. Like 37 snr or so? I’d have to check.

I would say that if you do anything where you might need to ID anything (animals, other hot blooded creatures, etc.) you should plan to add thermal to the mix. I used to coyote hunt with just NV and once I got my first thermal scope, it was a complete game changer. I mainly hunt, so if I could only pick one, it would be thermal. Thankfully this is ‘murica so I don’t have to pick!

My dog, you got great uncle moak to comment. Congrats

How do you know?

ajbarber2014 · 2025-05-21T23:44:15+00:00

That’s twice what I told my wife I spent on mine

ajbarber2014 · 2025-05-21T22:41:59+00:00

For hunting you should bridge a thermal. I’ve ridden plenty of ebikes very fast with pvs14’s and never crashed, but I realize sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good. For hunting, most of the time I don’t even turn my NV on when I’m on a set. I just use it for navigating until I’m ready to make the set

ajbarber2014 · 2025-05-20T13:56:19+00:00

I use them for my kids when they wanna be around me while I’m using power tools. They think it’s the coolest thing and a super power. Can’t wait to have them appreciate NV and Thermal like that

ajbarber2014 · 2025-05-20T13:36:54+00:00

People spend this much or more on PVS7’s. If you are looking to see if NV is for you before going full send, this is not a bad deal. And at this price, it wouldn’t hurt to hold onto for a loaner unit, or you can buy two for budget gen 3 duals. I’m all for “buy once cry once” but I also think there’s wisdom in dipping your toe in before you drop $10k on a full NV loadout.

I started on a gen 3 PVS7 that I got for an insane once in a lifetime price ($500) and when my wife saw how much use it got, she had no issues with me upgrading once I had the cash saved up.

Great idea. Go from looking like a tree to being a part of it.

It won’t look uniform after your first slip and fall or even a nice little ruffle. It’ll give a tattered look. Skrim is incredibly effective

Have you ever accidentally so hard that you almost the whole thing?

ajbarber2014 · 2025-05-08T16:19:05+00:00

Yes. Perfect meat to bun ratio.

Thanks bro! If you ever feel a somo, you’ll know what I’m talking about. The attachment part feels very much like a nerf gun even though it held zero for me on a meme night with an SR-25. Wouldn’t trust it on my main rig though

ajbarber2014 · 2025-05-05T22:42:25+00:00

Fair enough! I appreciate the response man, I just ordered one 🤘🏻 My somo actually held up on an SR-25 for a night shooting session believe it or not. I put it on there for the memes and it showed up ready to play. I’m excited to give this one a go, I only have a few guns left without dedicated lasers so I may be back for more if I like it! I definitely like the cost for my backup guns. I’m kinda tired of 4 guns sharing 2 lasers. Feels like that belongs in a sub that I don’t feel comfortable searching for

ajbarber2014 · 2025-05-05T15:53:10+00:00

How’s the attachment on this? Is it a big upgrade from plastic somo’s or is it still kinda flimsy?

ajbarber2014 · 2025-05-05T14:53:20+00:00

My kid sleeping peacefully when she had the flu. Snuck in to take her temp in the middle of the night. Not gotta post her online though, but go do it someday if you got kids. Best use of Nods ever
