Advice on Lamping please?

[mark01856 7]

hi everyone, i have just bought a logun lamp from a forum member(moxy) thanks mate.

 

anyway, can anyone give me some tips on going lamping, in particular, how to carry the batteries around without doing damage to them or them getting in the way.

 

 

thanks in advance .

A few lads i know have purpose made leather belts with battery pouches, They are hefty pices of kit and you know your wearing it after a few hours lol.

The simplest way ive found (without stating the obvious and bunging them in ya pockets), Is a small rucksack, On whichever side you have your lead at the base of the bag cut a small hole to poke the wire out of. The lead is then to your side rather than poking out the top of the bag and over your shoulder.( you will also loose length if you bring it out of the top).

I would not worry too much about damaging the batteries, they are quiet safe and durable, just as long as you are not kicking them about or hammering nails in with them.

As for tips on actually lamping, Either tag along with someone to maybe show you how to go on, or just get out there an learn the old fashioned way by trail and error, sometimes this is the only way to go

Hope you enjoy and good hunting.

cheers mate, thanks, does the pouch one of the batteries are in attach to your belt?

 

i have vague ideas on lamping, but never actually done it, all my shooting has been day time, apart from with my old NV scope, but i can only see about 10 15 yards with it.

 

anyway, cheers i will be trying it out this weekend( weather permitting)

I carry my batteries around in a backpack which i can also put rabbit(s) in on the way round.If your Logun lamp has a variable brightness, adjust so it gives you enough light to shoot clearly at your zero range,if you have coloured filters give them a go, for me the red one seems to meet some rabbits approvel if they are lampshy.Keep downwind of them & the usual noise/smoking/talking discipline.I also have a small Petzl LED headlamp which i use for reloading,climbing over fences,etc i coloured the lense on it red with a permanent marker.I also wear shooting gloves & headnet to keep meself concealed as much as poss.......
