IMO put a hoodie or a t shirt onto the targets. I'd like to see what the bloom is like on a more "realistic" target. It may obscure it now on a flat piece of relatively smooth cardboard, but what about a wavy uneven more porous surface?
@4MRRanch 2 ай бұрын
Agreed that would have been a better representation, I did shine the trees and the black backstops though, and although the bloom was less, it still steps up from the Pro when going XL and FP

@@peebreezy5015 I had the same question and looked them up. No, it seems they do not have selectable power settings. Only 1 level of power output per unit. If you need or prefer a particular power level you have to pick the appropriate model and then you're stuck with it.

Thanks for the detailed comparison. I ended up going with a Pro on your testing results. You also called it - the Pro would emit the most balanced performance, and based on your comparison, Rovyvon should really consider lowering the price points on the XL and FP models because these performance differences are negligible or even a downgrade in the case of the IR laser. Plus, a $300 Pro in FDE would be a nice option.

The laser is very usable in realistic daylight conditions. Don’t expect to see it at 200 yards in bright sunlight, but I could see it fine up to about 100 yards during the day. In indoor daylight you can still get a bit of a laser trail it’s so bright
