Craig Fosse 286 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 The misses will slowly get round mate, especially when she starts getting more handbags and shoes because she thinks ur being nice, until the day she realises you have been using it as a cover up to get more gear Quote Link to post

The first night I used the red but couldn't see a bloody thing it was original lenser filter and could only just see 1 metre in front of me, I tested yellow the night after and was happy with results but green and blue were also good just need to see which i prefer over next few nights, but the red will just be used for close range ratting etc. Quote Link to post

I'll tel you what it did to my mood! WIll try the yellow/blue/green when out next. I have seen bigmac use green and it is pretty good, fingers crossed. Quote Link to post

Daz39 962 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Can you give us an idea on 1) Distance (I was getting easy 150m+ on white) and 2) EYES, what are the eyes like with the different colours. My night vision is pants so I'd love to know which filter picks up the rabbits best. Cheers mate, good hunting. Quote Link to post
danco1987 27 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 one think i do is phone the land owner to check its alright to go before every trip even if they say come anytime That will piss off the landowner I shoot for, especially as I go up there often. If he/she says come anytime then do that. Get on with things, get written permission in case anyone asks and then call every now and then when you've got some rabbits for them. Quote Link to post
The one 8,469 Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I never phone them but i do have spots im asked to park my car in , and when i do see them the know ive been out as they have seen the car Quote Link to post
Tornado1979 145 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 I don't have to call either, owner just said come whenever you want and only contact he wanted was when insurance was up for renewal each year... But I've bumped into him a few times in passing already. Quote Link to post

My night vision is pants so I'd love to know which filter picks up the rabbits best. Cheers mate, good hunting. Very crap night nothing at all about, I seen one rabbit but soon as it went under spotlight (with green filter) it was off like a bolt, it was easy going 110 yards on full power though with green one, eyes stood out loads better than the yellow. There was a black ferret or stout in woods which kept investigating so its prob chased all rabbits off lol. Hoping to have better results at weekend. Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Cool, hoping to get out Sunday. I was fannying around in the back garden with the different filters and the Yellow gave the longest beam, then green, then Blue and Red was almost a black out! Just depends on how the rabbits behave. I had the white only last time out (it was lashing it down too) and by the time I had the rifle up and rabbit on the cross hairs it ran off. So I figure white light isn't the best. Saw someone MADE a red filter using a polypocket thing, might give that a try too. Just don't want to buy another damn torch when this is a very good one...just a crap filter. Quote Link to post

Let me know how you get on, I attempted to switch to blue but its a pain in ass to change especially in field. So far the green eyes stood out more so i will be testing again at weekend "hopefully" ( depending on the mrs One of lads I go out with has got a lamp with built in red led and I was very jealous, paid £130 just a bit bigger than P7 lighting eyes up over 150 yards. I considered making a filter, some use sweet wrappers with elastic bands. Happy hunting :-) Quote Link to post
Daz39 962 Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 Bigmac has an ultrafire with green LED and the distance is great. And cheap as chips from China too! I couldn't wait so got the P7, and now wish I had gone Chinese! Quote Link to post
