I wasnt able to make it,so lets hear some details........
-
It was a blast to watch for me. I don't know the winners name but I'm sure all of this will be posted on the front page and forum boards. The night shoot started a little late due to the amount of participation from the target identification contest. The night shoot ended around 11:45pm and I hope we do it again in the near future. I can say this, we have some great shots in the PPHA.
-
I'm really curious about the shooting lights that were used,which were best,etc...
-
No light in particular for the night shoot. It was just everyones personal field set up. Some scope mounted and some barrel mounted. It was something worth seeing and an eye opener on malfunctions in the field. Alot of jams!
-
Were'nt there light demos aswell?
-
The jams may have been because it was a fun shoot and the shooters were not looking at bullet placement in the magazine. We should see some good amounts of fur pictures next month. How many shooters? Would have likened to attend but i did not see any listing of a shotgun shoot. The fur killen i got mastered, i wouid have liked to have seen some of these new long chokes up front, in action, to see which performed the best. Thanks for the update.

Hi Ultramag, yes there were a couple light companies there as vendors. Predator light Company gave a very detailed demo and explanation on their lights and lighting in general. Very informative and a very impressive light. No battery pack to carry and super light. Comes with scope mounts too. Another company that was there was Boondock Outdoors and I have to admit that they have the most impressive flashlight I have ever seen. Priced rite and comes with scope mount as well. Check them out on www.boondockoutdoors.com. The howler you donated was bought by a fellow member that rode to the expo with me . It sounded great at first but about an hour or so of constant howling in my truck I was ready for a nice pleasant bird call. LOL. Thanks for the donation. We had a great time and everyone there were some really good people. Too bad you couldn't make it.

Yes,I purchased the XL250 KILLIGHT from Boondock Outdoors and it is impressive. I was wonder if any of the lights were compared to each other or if different shooters were using them.
Glad the howler was put to good use......... ;D

we actually setup three lights and was checking them out while the guys were setting up the id portion. the predator light is pretty impressive looking at it and its size compared to other lights. it is really lite and is as bright as my nite lite(with the red lense on). with a white lens on it is extremely bright though. which is perfect for me because a nite lite is what I use to scan with. the 20 hour run time is also a plus along with knowing that the bulb wont blow out as well. no wires is another big plus.
the kill light was impressive for its size as well but with a 1.5 burn time it would strickly be a shooting light. JMO. they both have their advantages and look forward to putting the predator light threw its paces this fall. both the ID and the night shoot was nice and well attended. Tim would have the final numbers on how many participated.

There is a new best every year. And the prostaff guys from the predator light seemed to switch, so we have a new winner this year. Congratulations looks like a nice light.
How many shooters were there?
-
So did the predator light live up to it's claim of being able to make shots a 200 and 250 yards?
I'm asking because I have seen it used in the field and the XL250 seems to be the superior light for longer range shooting.
-
with no filter you can see things clearly out to 200+ yds. atleast with my eyes through ernies scope.
-
I hear those boondock lights are awesome. Need to order one.

Fellas, I am exhausted and will answer as many questions as I can as soon as I get home this evening. Thanks for your interest and keep checking in.
