Arken Zulus ZHD520R pt.1-of-2 850nm & 940nm IR testing

Here in pt.1-of-2 of this Zulus accessories review I introduce the alternate 940nm VCSEL pill for the Arken Optics Zulus scopes.

First an introduction and explanation of the differences between the two types of IR.

I then demonstrate them out to nearly 40m in my local barn, 850nm then 940nm, including focusing the beam of the IR illuminator.

Then I joined Bruce and Billy (@mealiejimmie and @GPCBill from the UK AirgunForums.co.uk), on one of Bruce’s permissions, where we compared both IR sources watching rabbits at 220 yards, then 400 yards.

The AGF (AirgunForums.co.uk) thread I started with a poll, to gauge viewer’s interest in the 940nm pill option (which I’ve brought to Arken Optics’ attention, as they perhaps hadn’t appreciated how popular this option is with us hunters), is here: https://airgunforums.co.uk/threads/arken-zulus-zhd520-zhd520r-zhd312-zhd312r-ir-options-if-you-could-have-a-choice.78376/
