Why does a semi-circular flare appear at the bottom of my thermal imaging screen after a shot?
Quick answer
If you're using a silencer or compensator, raise the riflescope height to eliminate the flare. Re-zero the riflescope afterward.
If you notice a flare on your screen after firing a shot, your gun likely has a compensator or silencer that radiates heat when fired. To resolve this issue, we recommend raising the height of the riflescope. Increasing the space between the riflescope and the silencer will make the flare invisible.
Keep in mind that after adjusting the height, you’ll need to re-zero the riflescope for accuracy.
