why can't you shoot Originally Posted By: Bob after BobOriginally Posted By: BoondockOutdoorsI had a customer bring a "Earnievor 5" to my shop and I wasnt impressed, it has unneccessary light spilling all over the place and the "Coyote Light" blew it away..
You would need the extra $300 just to feed the "5" with batteries
Coyote Light claims a 500yard Id I just have not had the fields to try that yet, but I completely beileve it..

Man everytime something comes out be it a ecaller, flashlight, nothing compares. In the east I would not be shooting 500 yards, maybe 200 if I'm in a contest that weekend and to me that distance is unethical. So now we are saying the coyote light is the top light. The Carnavore 5 would be the 2nd best then the HS-802 since it holds a tighter beam and has a slightly longer throw than the kill light , then the xlr250. What ever happened to the predator headlamp that was just in white that was the best 2 years ago. Everyone was killing fur with it in white and everyone said it did not spook game. And had a nice slide barrel mount I can't find it anywhere. I may pay the 429 but I will wait till i hunt with someone who has 1 first. It is probably going to be the cats meow out west though. It is great all the new tools us predator hunters have. Sending you a PM.
Not sure why it couldn't be the cat's meow in the east. If I could positively ID at 500 yds. and was confident in my ability to make that shot, I'd take it in a heartbeat. It would only be an unethical shot if you weren't sure of your abilities at that distance. Frankly, I believe a red dimmable light that easily outdistances the competition would be the cat's meow in the east. Every year they come out with new products, in most cases they ARE an improvement. By the way, the coyotelight has been out for a few years now. I imagine it's not real popular because of the price. besides that if jeremiah hadn't started selling them I doubt many people on here would know they exist.
Anyway, it's on my to buy list after I take the contests i'm in this weekend. LOL!
