Braving the wet weather on Saturday for the Kentucky Firearms Club Steel Plate Challenge.

We were kindly sent a FLIR Breach on loan from Beechwood Sport and BDS Deer Officer, Glyn Ingram, put it to the test on a recent fallow and muntjac cull in the East Midlands.

Beechwood sport are collaborating with Bradley Arms who engineer custom built weapons for their clients. (images show a Trijicon Accupower 1-8 on a bespoke Bradley Arms custom built weapon.

Recently James Sutcliffe from BASC Deer Management put the new FLIR Breach thermal imager though it's paces. The BASC Game and Deer team promotes sustainable deer management across the UK by providing advice to members on habitat and species management, developing and supporting best practice, offering deer stalking opportunities and influencing government policy in order to protect shooting.

Beechwood are proud to be sponsoring Mathew Ellis and providing his Trijicon Scopes this year, he will be using amongst others a Trijicon RX30 Green Reflex

The FLIR Breach PTQ136 is a tactical thermal imaging monocular built for the rigors of tactical deployment and law enforcement, allowing the operator to spot the heat of living objects and terrain in total darkness, even when traditional optics such as day scopes, night vision etc are impeded by adverse weather conditions, grass foliage etc.

Jules Whicker looks at various optics and accessories from this year's event.
