digging-deep 518 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I still use the lamp when I fancy a change for the nv, it's bigger number with the nv though imo 1 Quote Link to post
The one 8,511 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I still use a lamp all the time and i reckon there's no shame to my numbers i would like a shot with the nv and see how i got on but i reckon the cost would be prohibitive . I quite enjoy getting out lamping i take the rifle and my son lamps for me we have a laugh if i had n v i would be tempted to try it alone 1 Quote Link to post

Lewis Ste 245 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I prefur daytime shooting but often lamp on a night to shoot the rabbits but use the nv to spot rats when lamping them Quote Link to post
cos01452 9 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I lamp a bit getting the numbers but Im saving up for an NV or might just make my own 1 Quote Link to post

Skot Ruthless Teale 1,701 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I have a lamp, but im crap with it, just don't have 'the nack' wouldn't mind a nv but the price too much. maybe when I have my hw100 set up I might save for a nv , until then its the lamp and some filters. = the old fashioned way Quote Link to post
smithie 2,443 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 i lamp, did once have a nv on one of my guns but i could not get on with it... im happy to lamp as i dont need a big bag, big bags every time leave you with nothing to shoot and/or the problem of getting more land Quote Link to post
stealthy1 3,964 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 I lamp the stubble round harvest time with my HW100KT, and do a bit of lamping with the lurcher on the pastures and along the rabbit proof fencing when the seed is pushing through Quote Link to post

BenjaminCadd 109 Posted July 25, 2013 Report Share Posted July 25, 2013 Never lamped with the air rifle I think I would chose the dog or shotgun every Time. Quote Link to post

ghillies 209 Posted July 27, 2013 Report Share Posted July 27, 2013 i think more use a lamp than use NV tbh Quote Link to post
salop sniper 32 Posted July 28, 2013 Report Share Posted July 28, 2013 I refuse to go NV. I prefer the lamp as I am then not scanning with my rifle, I also shoot with a lamp man which has many benefits too, and I lamp for him too. Anyone who shouldn't be about would see the lamps scanning would hopefully avoid the area so hopefully it would also help the farmer. Having the lamp is also helpfully come time to gut the bunnys and for doing the locks and chains on gates. Lamping for me all the way! ATB Matt Quote Link to post
