Lamping – my take on it.

[chiller]

great read this thread and some very useful stuff to take on board - thanks dudes

[Whitester]

No worries Chiller, happy to help. Figam, you are right there mate. Different shoots will required different uses of the lamp and different techiques or a combination of techinques, it's mostly experience that puts rabbits in the bag rather than reading up on techinique. But reading such techiniques are either a good place to start or grounds for experimentation. Happy lamping

Yes right - thanks for that Pete - just to let you know your off my christmas card list you rotten b*gger

[Rudedog]

Great info mate I will certainly try your tactics.

Two very good guides - thanks for posting this info for other shooters gents - it takes time to write all this information in readable format but it's well worth doing when it's as informative as both your guides were - top stuff!

Great post, to take time & write all that for other people the guy deserves respect

Bought one of these from lidl, cheap but excellent piece of kit, less than £100 (even if not advertised, ask manager, they often keep them locked up in the warehouse)
I thought I was walking in empty fields untill I got one of these, it taught me my technique was crap. Using the infra red the bunnies eyes light up from well over a 100yds away, excellent for beginers and the more experienced! It lets you know when you have screwed up bigtime. But the rewards are great.

my first post.
this year i moved from my HW95 springer and invested in a BSA SCORPION PCP, the guy had it zeroed for me and i hardly had to touch the scope. What an extremely accurate weapon. my success rate has tripled. i tried lamping last year using a Logan lamp, but being a newcomer to the sport, i was lucky to get a shot off. But this year my stalking has improved and also my knowledge of my permission has grown, and i have determined route which i follow, which is also know to the wife should i be overly late., and this year i am hoping to be much more successfully with lamping, although now i wish i had a dimmer, can one be made or fitted to a login lamp.

Don't know re the dimmer but I dont see why not. The Deben one is nice in that it has an on/off switch and the rotary dimmer so you can mount it on the rifle stock if on foot or hold in your hand if in a vehicle.
I dont rate Logun and if you havnt got your stalking technique sorted then I think the low output from a logun will hold you back.

The two posts from Whitster and Hadaka Jimmy are top notch - suggest you re-read them and try and remember it all.

If you can, shooting from a vehicle is brilliant - especially if you are there for pest control as a 2 ton truck can get right close but you step on a twig and it will clear the field of coney
