I shot my first match last night that required more precision than minute of bad guy; we were shooting at white paper plates at from about 10 to 50 yards. The match was designed to be shot with white light; I was the only person who elected to use NVD's, which in hindsight was a mistake.
In the past I've successfully engaged full sized IPSC steel at 50-200 yards without bloom issues. At any rate, I had issues with bloom on the reflective white plates; obviously the closer the worse it was to the point that the bloom/halo was larger than the target. Since there's no one makes an ND filter to knock down the CQBL-1's laser, I'm pretty sure I need more IR illumination than the KM-2 head can provide so I can gain the PVS-14 down. Would the TNVC Torch "solve" the problem? Am I missing some other alternative? Should I just accept that for the purposes of a "precision" match I should just use white light and an RDS? There's an old thread here where someone rigged an ND filter to a CQBL, but the pics are gone; I guess I could reinvent the wheel...
I think I would have scored much better using white light and an RDS, or even mounting the PVS-14 on the gun behind the Aimpoint, than I did using the CQBL. Given the amount of bloom, I was forcing a hammer to behave like a screwdriver... wrong tool for the job.
FWIW, it was a clear night with a full moon and I use an amber filter.
