After using my ND3x40 Laser Genetics’ for the 2010 hunting season I’d thought I’d offer a short review on the performance. My ND3x40 performed well after I got the hang of it. There’s the manufactures expectations and what we realistically achieved while hunting.
My ND3 is built rugged and simple to install. The remote on/off switch is a waist of time and really wasn't necessary. Though the laser is simple to install, you must take the time to sight the ND3 to your reticle before going into the field.
I found my ND3 to be a really cool product and it really did perform well. Being honest and shooting it at night I found 250 yards to be the absolute max (perfect conditions) I would pull the trigger on an animal even though I had the “400” yard model. To be honest 175 yards was really where my comfort zone started to waiver and 150 yards it rocked.
Deer and hogs did not seem bothered by the green laser to any measure. However the six semi-wild mustangs on the ranch hated the laser light and seemed extremely sensitive to it and made them nervous and agitated from the moment the beam hit them. Being able to adjust the laser’s diameter was really helpful and I found the tighter you could get the beam the better it performed at longer distances. The optimal beam width for me was adjusting it to that of my scopes field of vision or just slightly less. Like I said we all found 175 yards to be our max comfort zone.
This past weekend we used my ND3 in conjunction with a buddies second gen night scope, though I don’t know the make and model. Now this combination pushed our comfort zone out to 300 yards with 500 being max in perfect conditions. I don’t think his night scope was of any great quality as 200 yards was about the max you could see to hit something with it. However it really partnered well with the green laser light. The combination really lit up the night; it was astonishing how well they worked together.
As I said a quick write up from what we experienced using my ND3 this past hunting season. Overall a great product IMHO!
