While I'm aware of the Holosun brand name, I've had no experience with any of their products. There is quite a choice nowadays. The big thing, for me, is to pick a dealer/shop who will stand behind...

The batteries that come with the Sytongs are flat-topped and are about 65 mm tall.... or maybe a tad under. Some 18650 batteries are quite a bit longer and, as you say, they have a button top. ...

Hey Jukes... good question. I've been regularly hunting at night since I last posted.

I sold my Pulsar NV scope and bought another Sytong. The Pulsar worked very well and there was nothing...

Thanks Trout. I try to hang pigs a bit longer before processing now and I think it helps to make them less chewy.

Ah. JLF is the guy who painted his sights. I haven't tried that yet.

Pregnant unfortunately. However I was hunting on a farm where they appreciate me shooting animals to prevent damage. This pig is still hanging up outside. I won't know how fat it is until I skin...

Ha. Hadn't seen that spooky face on my magazine until you...

South America is one place I would like to visit.

I know the stuff you are talking about Micky. Maybe it would be a good option thanks. There doesn't seem to be a huge selection of ammo to choose from around here at present. I've done a lot of...

"Head shot commercial pet food, the rest house meat n frames for own dogs."

There is a lot of meat on an adult hare. And I reckon it can be pretty similar to venison. There is also something...

The reflective tape arrived and it seems to be excellent. It cost a lot to ship it here, but I am glad I have it.

I've stuck it to flashlights, headlamps, rifle magazines, binoculars and my car...

I thought your earlier mention of the toenail painting was a mere joke. Now it seems a bit scary.

I got some of the paint on my hand. And even after I thought I'd washed it off, I could still...

The reflective tape I ordered hasn't arrived yet, but the glow in the dark powder and ready-mixed paint arrived this morning. I bought it directly from glowinthedark Dot co Dot NZ instead of through...

I'm with you Trout. I just Googled South American Puma. Evidently a male may grow to 100kg and 2.4 metres from tail tip to nose. That is a big pussy cat. The closest thing I can compare it to is...

That's all good JLF. That front sight looks useful with the paint on it. Thanks for posting the picture. I got some 'glow in the dark' powder today, so I might try Micky Duck's recipe and apply...

That is interesting thanks JLF. What sort of rifle do you use? And are the metal sights you refer to open sights (with a 'V' rear sight and a 'l' front sight)? or do you use an aperture sight? And...

That's quite a pile of hares Tiroahunta. What might you typically do with them?

Also... does your scope have parallax adjustment?.... or do you simply find a focus position on your add-on unit...

That is unfortunate JLF.

While these things are interesting and useful, we hunted successfully without them for thousands of years. My first hunt with night gear was just a few months ago. ...

Thanks Marty.... hadn't thought of using rubber and fastening it to the trigger guard. I've got some heavy duty rubber bands that are used for training trees, I should see what I can do with those. ...

Thanks ! I've ordered some reflective tape and some glow powder. I am covering all bases.

I still think about that lost machete. I have got access to a metal detector, but it is quite a climb...

Didn't know you could get reflective strip that might be suitable. Thanks for that TLB. I found white tape was pretty good, but reflective stuff would be fantastic. Be good to have something like...

Shooting at night has its challenges.

I started going out at night on a regular basis last winter. It was cold, and the ground was nearly always wet. I got some polarfleece trousers with a...

"Game changer" is one of those terms that I think is often over-used (like 'awesome' etc). However it definitely applies to a decent thermal monocular.

I can see that a thermal sight would be a...

I've never used a 17, but I imagine that it would work well with the Sytong sitting on it. You'd be well equipped to get those danged bunnies that seem to stay out of .22 range.

Sorry Muzza, i haven't tried to change reticule brightness on either the Pulsar I was using, or on my Sytong HT-60. But I have found that some of the reticule shapes or colours seem better to use...
