Here is my Bigjim thunderchild with a shooting light mounted on a Gentle Giant made strap on bracket, activated with a grip switch:

You have pigs in Quebec? Don't know of any here, just a few miles from the Border.

It needs to have some sort of picatinny rail for a bipod, vertical grip and maybe an umbrella.   :D  
That IS pretty awesome!

Good stuff Manny,  I think Brother Nate is on to something   :readit:  

Congrats on your piggy.  How does the switch work on that thing? Maybe activated by the clapper?

I did a homemade version once. Cheap flashlight, threaded bolt, some wire, and a doorbell.  My cheap bow had an insert on the front. Wired the doorbell button into the switch, taped it to the bolt, scewed it into to insert, then taped the button to the back of the grip.
