I've been looking at hog lights for the last few years. I even bought a Cyclops light on sale and got a NAP Green bow light for Christmas. Both were ok, but were fixed focus and you had to be quick on the trigger once you lighted up the target.
I kept reading the threads on hog lights, and Sniper Hog Lights kept coming up. I never saw a negative comment.
Fast forward to last October, I finally ordered the 38LRX bow light. Order confirmation and shipping were prompt, with good confirmation and accurate delivery date. Package arrived and everything was as described.
Took it hunting that week with the bow and it's really a quality light. First, it has 2 buttons. High and low beam. Then you can gradually go from a flood that barely illuminates less than 10 yards on low to easy 30 or 40 yards. I never bothered checking further because I don't shoot that far with a bow at night. The machining on the housing to adjust from flood to spot is very smooth. Just twist it to adjust.
Then just to see what it would do, I attached it to my rifle scope one night. I put it on flood and hight beam setting, then slowly adjusted until it painted the hog at 175 yards and shot him. I could have easily seen to shoot one at 250 to 300 yards.
There's no vibration or rattling to worry about and it's a solid light for night hunting. I got the red and green light with mine, but have only used the red so far.
If you're on the fence order it. It seems a little expensive, but you get what you pay for and won't regret it if you hunt with it much.
On a side note, the pigs seem to spook less when moon is out. Just an observation so far, but that's another thread along with spot and stalk and which broadhead to use in different situations. [IMG][/IMG]
