lamping last night using red filter

[joshmarto 13]

went out last night with me dog and tried a piece of red laminate over my lamp and the rabbits didnt have a clue but my dog found it hard to see his quarry at first as he was stood right in front of it and only when it moved slightly while it was sat in its seat he then picked it up a retreived back to me this is the first time ive used this method how long will it take for my dog to get used to the red light any ideas?alb josh

it never botherd mine, personally i dont like the red for running dogs, , to dim, the amber filter is excellent for running dogs, i use the amber filter on the the big lightforce lamp, helps alot,

have used a red filter for about six years now. but only to spot the rabbits then run on the white beam very productive method

Yip thats what i do,

Use the red too find the quarry then when i do flick too plain white beam and send him on,

Catch or miss then filter back on and carry on....
