Simoman 110 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Catch rate seems to improve a good deal with the light force Some of the rabbits we have lamped seemed completley disoriented and were easily snapped up Also a few more kills were made when the rabbit had actually made it to heavy cover Some seem to run as if unbalanced. I presume it must be power they are putting out Must admit Mick, i have been using a blitz for several seasons and i have never found this to be the case............ Quote Link to post
dytkos 17,784 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I use a Clulite or a Striker. When out with someone with a Blitz, I can't see the end of the beam Cheers, D. Quote Link to post
Mick C. 229 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I dont personally own one of these lamps.I have a walk out with a freind who owns one. It seemed to happen on shortage range quarry when we lamp the golf courses. Maybe it was down to the grass been very close cut and the rabbits been hit with the full power of the beam Im not knocking the lamp Maybe just a bit of overkill in that situation I am looking for a light force lance myself as it would serve my purpose better than the clulite that i currently use.

chartpolski 23,197 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 I'd love to know how many people have actualy ran a lot of game, over a decent period with different lamps, to be such experts on which lamp is best !! Over the past 45 years, I've seen lamps improve so much, and the best I've used is the Blitz 240 !! All this crap about rabbits running different under various lamps is laughable !! The better the lamp, the more you keep the quarry in the beam, simple as !! Cheers. 6 Quote Link to post

chartpolski 23,197 Posted October 7, 2011 Report Share Posted October 7, 2011 Lets not turn this interesting thread into an argument! What I'll say is, I remember the first time I lamped, with an old spot light off a car and a motor bike battery...we caught gear, but looking back, the lamps were crap ! I've tryed most lamps, and the one before the Blitz was a Clulite 2MCP, a decent lamp, it fit in my pocket and was light and easy to use; BUT I found the beam to wide and not long enough ! The Blitz I have now can be adjusted to give a flood or spot, and to be fair, the beam is so long, that if your dog didn't catch before the quarry got away... then it deserved to get away or you need better dogs !! LOL !! At the end of the day, lamps are like Lurcher X's...we all have different opinions !! Cheers. 2 Quote Link to post
