Title: EFA Wing Light For Night Stalkers With Photos
Post by: 2fletch on November 09, 2013, 08:15:00 PM
We put a Led light on our wing attachment with a little modification and we were pleased with the results. This little light with the big beam can be focused to a wide or narrow beam and adjusted to light up what you're aiming at. Also, it's very stable on the bow and very conveniently out of the way for frog hunting,bow fishing, or whatever.

As a kid I remember trying to hold a flashlight on a frog with the same hand that I was holding the bow with. This idea would have made it a whole lot easier. Don't look for them to soon on our website, but if you would like to get one then give me a shout. The "Wing Light Attachment" will retail at about $30.00 plus $3.00 shipping, but does not include the light. The light would be an additional $12.00 if we have them in stock. Let me know what you think.

That looks like a great idea, Don!

I like it! Do ya think it'd be usable with your 4 arrow quiver on a K-Mag, or would it crowd the small riser too much? Either way, I'd probably buy one.  :)

Hey Don,
I took your previous advice and ordered one of those lights.  Nice little piece of equipment for the price.  Now I guess I need to think about a light mount.

Fattony77, That's a good question. Rather than put two seperate items on the riser I'd recommend this setup using the quiver and light in combination, both mounted to our Wing attachment. Either way would work well.

Homebru, now you have two options. Lol.

Looks good! Perfect for hogs after dark. Range of adjustment for different sized lights? Thinking about using one of the Fenix PD30 lights.

swampdrummer, I've tried 3/4" diameter and 1" diameter so far which is the largest lights that I use. Much larger than 1 1/2" might be a stretch. Personally, I would prefer to keep the light as small as possible. This one that I show in the photo is 300 lumins, has adjustable focus, and uses an "AA" battery. It's also very easy to replace the battery while it's on the bow if needed.

I did some costing on the system and it looks like the "Eagle XL" flash light attachment will retail at $28.00. With a quiver it would cost an additional $20.00 over the quiver cost. We will start making them later this week. You can call to place an order now and we should have it on the website for the summer season.

I love that set-up! I will order one later today.
This could be just the ticket for night hunts(coons and pigs).
