Yes, thermal imaging works during the day because it detects heat (infrared radiation), not visible light. Thermal cameras operate independently of daylight and remain highly effective in daytime conditions. They excel at spotting, tracking, and identifying animals or humans, even in thick brush or when targets are camouflaged. How Thermal […]

Yes, Simmons scopes can be used on air rifles, but only airgun-rated models. Simmons ProTarget Air and ProHunter AirGun scopes are built to withstand the dual-recoil of air rifles. Standard Simmons rimfire or centerfire scopes often fail on high-powered spring-piston break-barrel air rifles due to reverse recoil. Understanding Air Rifle […]
Air rifles are hard on scopes because spring-piston air rifles generate a violent double-recoil. The rifle first recoils backward, then snaps sharply forward when the piston slams home. This bidirectional shock stresses scope internals designed for one-directional firearm recoil, often causing reticle, lens, or mount failure. Why air rifles are […]
