Hawkeye. 26 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Tape the lamp under the barrel or get a lamp with a barrel mounting kit , or rest the shotgun on top of your wrist of the hand holding the lamp Quote Link to post
toby63 1,236 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 get a good led cree torch and hold it in the normal firing postition.dont lay the gun on your wrist like said above the recoil will make it jump and you wil end up missing. Quote Link to post
JohnGalway 1,043 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 dont lay the gun on your wrist like said above the recoil will make it jump and you wil end up missing. No you won't. I've shot plenty of foxes and rabbits that way. My lamping buddy has being shooting foxes for 20 years that way, I haven't seen him miss one yet. 2 Quote Link to post

You've never tried doing it or your doing something wrong if you missed. Distance is immaterial Quote Link to post

Hawkeye. 26 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 why are you using 2 1/4oz load's? What gun and choke are you using? Quote Link to post

JohnGalway 1,043 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I've used 3.5inch 64 gram bb's, they were expensive, but that's not why I don't use them anymore. They kick like a donkey. Shot a few clays with them one day, that was fun, not many got away to breed for the next year. Quote Link to post
