"AUSTRALIAN SHOOTING SERVICES", the leading Australian specialist night vision and thermal dealer, is wholly owned and operated by Australian personnel, who as contractors, use the same Thermal and Image Intensifying products available from this site.
As operational users ourselves involved with feral animal control, using various types and grades of image intensifying and thermal imaging equipment, including Mil-Spec, we take pride in the fact we can genuinely provide a prospective client with real information and details about the various products available, and what the differences will mean to you the user, rather than blindly quoting the specification sheet to you and hope you understand. Which unfortunately, is all most night vision "retailers" are able to provide.
Be aware that a number of thermal rifle scopes commonly available, even so called "brand name" models, will not hold zero, this is a serious problem to find after you have outlaid big money.
Re-sellers, even those who are aware of the situation, are reluctant to admit to this problem. We at Australian Shooting Services can give reliable advice on this matter.
Australian Shooting Services are the PREMIER AUSTRALIAN distributors for the GENERAL STARLIGHT COMPANY of CANADA Inc. and the oldest established Australian importers / distributors of their ITAR free professional "Night Vision" & "Thermal" Imaging products.
PLEASE NOTE ! We DO NOT and WILL NOT list cheap consumer devices as MILITARY devices unlike some Australian suppliers.
Or fill our web site with low value consumer items, sell re-branded Chinese made, "American brand name" products produced to bypass ITAR requirements, or any of the cheap Chinese imports currently flooding into Australia, as these products cannot be considered other than toys, especially when considering their continual problems are so well known.
Australian Shooting Services specializes in high performance "controlled" professional / law enforcement items in both IMAGE INTENSIFYING and THERMAL IMAGING, as well as high quality commercial grade equipment.
The purchase of entry level Gen 1 image intensifying items are not recommended due to their limited performance.
Also the currently available commercial digital (non military) "night vision" equipment is also NOT recommended because of it's extremely high requirement for additional IR light.
Neither of these types of products, Generation 1 or Digital, will provide acceptable results under normal "working" conditions.
Even for recreational use, we recommend that no less than genuine commercial grade, preferably, professional grade products be considered, as the performance of lower grade products will never produce satisfactory results in the field.
Although a large percentage of our night vision products are often assumed to be for "Government Only" purchase, they are also completely LEGAL for private purchase in Australia.
Australian Shooting Services is registered with Border Force (Australian Customs) and the DECO (Department of Defence) for the import and export of controlled items. Reg. No 864635D
When selecting your preferred Night Vision supplier, always check on the details they advertise, for example, can they actually supply "military" grade products as they claim, when all they list is cheap GENERATION 1 and other LOW END CONSUMER ITEMS?
Or make statements, for example, "Super Long Range" night vision, often showing a Gen 3 quality image, while hidden in the fine print it says 100 yard detection !
Professional or military grade night vision equipment for only a few hundred dollars, really? It just does not happen !!!
NIGHT VISION and THERMAL IMAGING is specialized equipment and is not suitable for sale from a "general sales" outlet, it vitally important that all sales staff genuinely know and fully understand the items they are offering.
