    If it's not a first round hit you need to practice more

    Plenty of orders away today and more tomorrow. Archers here next week - looking forward to testing out that little fart again - pocket size with 800m range

    Have good supply of 2Xs, XPro, HO1R, remotes, batts, chargers etc now - let me know what you want.

    People asking me now what is the best Maxtoch for all purpose hunting - is it the M24, the 2X or the new XPro? The answer is yep. They're all a bit different, all do the job, and guys who use them alot all have their own preferences. Specs:

    * M24 Sniper 270gms, 63mm head, 310k lux, 1100m max, 360gms incl batts. Slim and light, ideal on scope or as spottie.
    * 2X Shooter 310gms, 68mm head, 365k lux, 1200m max, 400gms incl batts. Tad heavier with bit more long range light on target.
    * XPro Hunter 370gms, 78mm head, 490k lux, 1400m max, 460gms (18650s) or 510gms (21700s). Extra clarity and light at longer range.

    Gadget likes his M24, I favour a 2X, testman Te Rei likes his XPro. Any will do the job - XPro best when really stretching distances, while other two great if scope use also. M24 very slim, light and a delight to handle. 2X perhaps the in between..

    M1 Archer can be used as handheld, but we've got it in here as a small rifle light - esp 22s. Yes its a grunty little bugger - 800m for 3 minutes before it steps down to 575m - but its not comparable with its big brothers as a spottie. Looking forward to my new one..

    Spare battry Protection

    Mudgrips - I've noticed some guys carry their spare batts in battery-shaped plastic canisters (presumably to remove any chance of them draining if both ends touch something conductive). Do your batts come in such canisters? Are such canisters actually beneficial, or just a gimmick? If recommended, can you give a source for these canisters?

    I carry mine in the original pencil case style maxtoch pouch. They also fit in a 20gauge shotgun cartridge loop.

    Just trying to get my head around it. All the above mentioned are handhelds not head lights?

    Yep - M24, 2X, XPro all scope/handheld lights. I will try to take a photo of the lights over the weekend..

    Then there's little M1 Archer at 145mm long, 135gms, but 1650 lumens, and 800m range. Good for 22, or for any other use as its a wee pocket size. Fraction of the cost of any Led Lenser lights, but its performance vastly superior. I will keep one of these..

    Maxtoch only do two headlamps. The little HO1R 80-100m walk/camp light, and the new design LR (540m beam) headlamp which we should have here round end of month.

    Hey Mudgrips

    I will take a new charger please (PM me price).

    Also will be keen on new head torch when they are up for grabs
    @gadgetman thanks a whole bunch for that recent work on my torch, minta !! Here's a yarn for you...

    Young fella used it the other night, he was pretty excited that it had been "de-domend".

    In true 12year old fashion he told everyone about it !! "this torch is so much better", or "ive got my eye in tonight ah!"

    Only issue was that he actually out spotted the three adults that were with him and he was the only one not carrying a rifle ?!?

    Must have been the torch

    Cheers
