Night hunting lights? What do you use?
« on: July 05, 2015, 09:13:35 PM »
Hey any advice would be appreciated.  Im looking to put a light on top of rifle.  Like wicked lights,  coyote light, or a friend told me about a creed light made in China Wichita supposedly is what our U.S. brands use they just mark up the price 9 times the price. Hunting coyotes at night.  Does any one use the bigger lights with a battery pack?

Would you recommend wicked lights?  I've never used a rifle mounted light.  I have just shot with using a spot light. Does it make a big difference?

Lightforce lights. They make offroad lights for truck and sweet lights for your rifle or shotgun. Made in Australia. Search the site I have posted about them before and own one. You can shi e a coyote to 600yard with the gun mounted one.

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 do not hunt at night any more but when I did I had the best sight pic by having two people and holding a light shining over the shooters shoulder at the coyote. Gun mounted lights did not work well.

I purchased the O-Beam flashlight from batteries Plus.  It is $80.00 and puts out a intense beam of light.  far brighter than my Wicked lights scope mount.  I put on scope rings upside down and pipe clamped the square sided flash light to the flat base part of the scope rings.  The light only uses 4 AA batteries and has a long run time.  I will dry to post a picture.  It is my go to night rifle.  In open country I honestely believe I could shoot out to 200 yards at night.

I really like these.  I have the 100 and the 250 and I have the green motion activated night light for hog hunting.
