ATN Launches Next Generation Optics

ATN Launches a host of new products including their all new next generation Quad Core processor that will take your next hunting trip to the next level.

It’s no secret that we are fans of ATN Thermal and night vision optics. Over the last couple of years we have evolved our thermal game going from newbies to experienced hunters taking game like hogs and fox to coyote with our trusted ATN THOR 4 thermal devices. As our skills improved, so did the gear we used. We started our journey using optics like the THOR LT and OTS LT which are perfect for beginners because of their conservative price point.

As the years progressed, we began to sample the higher level offerings like the ATN THOR 4 640 4-40X and ATN OTS 4T 640 4-40X. With these higher tier models, you see technology enhancements and processing improvements, primarily driven by the Obsidian IV Dual core processors. With enhanced processing power you will see crisper images and target acquisition.

For 2022, ATN dropped a few new products that we used heavily because of their size and functionality. My favorite new drop from 2022 was the ATN ODIN LT 320 4-8X thermal monocular. I absolutely loved this new piece of gear because of its compact size and imaging capabilities. You can also mount this monocular to a helmet which takes its usefulness up another notch. ATN also released their X-SOUND hearing protection which accompanied me on many trips to the range. The beauty of these muffs is that they are bluetooth compatible so I can stream music while I shoot. Having some ambient noise playing helps me concentrate on the task at hand and I found myself shooting better with some music bumping.

This year, ATN is taking their product releases up a notch. Their new releases are centered around an all new 5th generation quad core processor that is sure to take your next thermal trip to the next level.

Here’s a breakdown of what’s new from ATN.
