Thread: Spotlight

Hey team. Can anyone recommend a half decent handheld spotlight that won't break the bank? Mostly for spotlighting on a farm.

Cheers

One of the Maxtoch range.
Excellent lights.

Get in touch with @mudgripz he will sort you out with any of the maxtoch range

I very much doubt it. This is an old T6 Led light with range of 300 meters by manufacturer specs. Any modern Maxtoch far beyond it.. If you've compared this light with a Maxtoch it must be a very old one..

CamFlatt - happy to help you with a Maxtoch suitable for hunting/farm - just PM me.

I tested a Maxtoch at measured distances on my property on my farmed deer. Out to 300 metres I could clearly see the deer. At 350 I could see the clear outline of the deer with no colour difference to the background so the deer appeared as a dark shape with a clear outline. I was impressed with this. The linked torches were better because of a wider beam and better shooting light. Would this be because of the bigger reflector ??
What are the new Maxtoch torches like compared to the above mentioned one

The main thing is the light to show up what is behind the animal you shoot at 300m. One of the 7 basic rules.

No - sorry don't go with that approach angle to much
A 308 or 270 etc bullet travels way way further than ANY light
IF - you are lighting terrain you do not know - again you should not shoot

That was a surprising response. But... then if a person shoots all their game behind wire deer fencing - which is obviously what 'Wirehunt' means, I suppose that same person can just fill the sky with lead no matter how far away they are and hope - like they are not going anywhere

That is why it is dangerous to use the XPRO on big stags @ 200m. 210m is ok though. Very dead.LOL.

Yes I agree, I did not actually shoot any of my farm deer to prove if it was possible at that range. I was surprised that the Maxtoch could do that (light them up clearly at 300), however they are a lot more expensive than the one's I linked and the OP was asking for info on a spotty that would leave his piggy bank intact.
