I can shine them bright as day farther than i can hit them. 5-600 yards plain as day. I have one of these that i use.  :twocents:
In archery we have something like the way of the superior man. When the archer misses the center of the target, he turns round and seeks for the cause of his failure in himself.

I have had the 250 Kill Light for two years now and it is AWESOME.  Get the red lense, there has been reports the green lights are good for hogs, but have spooked some yotes.  I also have a Smart Light headlamp with a red lense pop cover.  I scan with the head lamp and have the 250 attached to my gun.  The headlamp last 20 hours on high, I can see eye WAY out there.  It has no cord, the battery pack is on the back of the helmet.  It's awesome.  I have hunted with guys with the Light Force, really bright but bulky and cords and heavy compared to the Smart Light and 250.  No way I would switch even if it was given to me for free, which they are very spendy.  I have $250 tied up in both of my lights.  If you want to find a really good headlamp, check out the gear section on the UKC Coonhound site, those guys are in the woods almost every night really putting threi lights to the test.

Machias, can you put up some links to those lights?

I have a lightforce but is way too bulky even though it has superior light, A green or red light for scanning and a white for the killshot.Right now i am using the 250 kill light in on my rifle and a green for hand scanning similar to the XR100. I don't do much night calling but this works for me.

I have a Lightforce spotlight that plugs into my vehicle's power.  Does a good job.  Also have a couple of smaller gun-mounted lights, but I don't do much night hunting even though coyotes are pretty much nocturnal hunters.
If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
