This Infrared detector system is used to prevent accidental hunter shootings during the day and the night.
The design is simple and elegant: the IRIS sensor can be mounted on a rifle scope or shotgun barrel and runs off its own AA lithium battery. When turned on, it emits pulses of infrared light that are invisible to the naked eye. When these pulses come into contact with IRIS-detectable clothing, the sensor flashes and audibly alerts the shooter. With a range of up to 200 yards, its creators hope that it will prevent accidental shootings in the field of both hunters and their dogs. http://www.huntersafetylab.com/iris/ Here is a video of it working: https://www.youtube.com/watch?x-yt-cl=84838260&v=D7wkiAPDKuQ&x-yt-ts=1422327029 This could be something worth looking into: http://www.outdoorhub.com/stories/2014/02/04/two-hunters-quest-save-lives-meet-iris-laser/ Does anyone have any experience using this gear? |

Very interesting concept and the fact that it works 24/7 is a big plus too.
Of course it would not work for people outside your group, but if you are guiding a group of night hunters it would be a nice safety device as most shootings happen within 200 yards and most night hunters are not shooting over that. Bushman is right though, once the left wing socialists find out about this, they will demand that everyone has one except the criminals because criminals have civil rights law abiding citizens don't have.
