I have a rang at my home and many of my friends and I thermal hunt coyotes. Having life sized targets with vitals really give you a good sense of your ability, at night, at various ranges, and shooting positions. Black paint is great if it is sunny during the day but i figured out something better! I warm it up on the back side with a large weed burner. Hit it all around the vital for about 20-30 seconds and it glows like crazy on the thermal for a bout an hour and a half. Put about 300 rounds on two targets last night, and just had to write a review.
