The 100 is more of a floody light works better for scanning, the bill of the hat acts as a halo shield when the light is nounted up that high therefore no extra halo shield needed. The halo shield on my xlr250 is for keeping the light off my gun and to stop it from reflecting back into my scope.
Yes, he used to use a predator light, but not any more.
This pic was taken this year in west central Texas at the begining of March. We never had an animal shy from the red kill-lights and most of the animals on this trip were shot from 35 yards or less. I did not get out to hunt near as much as I'd have like here in PA due to having a child this year, but Kirk and many others sure did put a smack down using the kill-lights.
BY the way coon run from cars in Tx too, but not a red kill-Light.
