Title: hawglite
Post by: trashwood on November 23, 2008, 10:52:00 PM
I don't know if this product fits in your states laws or your hunting ethics???? If not I understand. If you do have a use for such a product, this is a is a high quality product.

It comes with three light heads, red, green, and white.  has a regular end cap for a carring light.  it takes 3 x AAA batteries.  has "O" rings for water proofing.  there is a cord that has a push button switch on a velcore patch that sticks on the back of your grip.

it would make a heck of a 'coon light or whatever......

Isn't that just like we used to do when we'd tape the clear red plastic over the headlights on a 54 plymouth then straddle the front fender while holding on to the hood ornament when hunting rabbits at night when we were kids?

What happens if it's a red pig? Does it disappear.  LOL  Looks good!  Great for the nocturnal pigs we get during full moons.

wingnut - i guess it ya hunt red pigs ya should use the green light.  it would make them brown, right?

I had a very hard time judging distance ub the red light and night.....oh wait I have a hard time judging distance in the day light  :)   well OK a harder time.

physical heavier bow and stabilizer help keep the light stable during follow thru.  if ya can hunt pigs at night in  state, i can tell ya tell the lighted nocks make it better.

How would u mount one of these on a stick bow, or a bow without the " screw in stabalizer hole thing" thats on the bow pictured ?

champ38 - not sure it would work to well.  might not be a good match.  would sure unbalance the bow

There are strap on mounts for fish reels that would do nicely holding the light.

Wingnut (Dryad bow) is building me a 60" recurve with sight attachments and stabilizer hole for just such things.

if your going to sit in your tripod or any other fixed type of stand velcro it to your stand and then you dont have to worry about the light moving around as much.  Also turn the light on and leave it on is what I was told by the guy who makes them.  I have not tried it yet but I will be pretty soon.  As soon as Wingnut makes a delivery it will be tested.
