[mussells 0]

has anybody got any tricks or idea,s on how to lamp and shoot on your own, its mainly for hunting rabbits at night with a shotgun but holding the lamp and shooting is proving difficult,

any thoughts??

get lamp that can be mounted to you're scope mate !

 

you get ones that are made specifically for it like tracer compact and stuff like that.

 

i use a light force one that mounts onto the scope and althought its a bit heavier than the tracer compact its a much better lamp !

Lightforce 140 lance lamp can be mounted underneath the barrel of your shotgun (they're specially made to handle the recoil of a shotgun so don't be worrying about that), whether it's a single, SBS or O/you. I've got one on my semi automatic 12g, they're good. One point I would mention is if it starts blinking on you or acting dodgy then it's a problem with bad soldering in the connections (it's common in the lightforce lamps as far as I can see and also it's the ONLY problem that I've found with them), send it back to where you bought it explaining the problem and they'll get it sorted for you (as long as you've not tried to fix it yourself like I did). Check them out :thumbs-up:

I go out on my tod every now n again, tried a few different methods, Hawke system mounted above the scope, one of those hideous rechargeable hand held things and now I'm onto a Clulite. It's abit awkward to start with but the more you use em you'll find a way.
