Thread: The ultimate hunting light endorsement....

What a hard case!

I live in the country just beside the city and tonight grabbed my 1000 lumen XML chipped Maxtoch SN torch and wandered up the road to see a friend. Was enjoying shining the SN across paddocks etc, and carefully avoided the occasional passing car.......

HOWEVER.. I get round the corner and there's a police car across the road. I wander past still happily looking at trees etc 2-300 meters away and nek minnit the police car pulls up behind me with lights flashing. I go back to say hello, and he says he's just received a complaint about me shining my SN at cars!

I assure him I wasn't and have been pretty careful but he told me "That light's just too dam bright". I should shine it at the ground only. Told him it's my new hunting light, and he says "I don't care, it's just too powerful"!!!

Then he gives me a lecture and I nod and I promise to be more careful and off I go.

Now if that isn't a good light endorsement I don't know what is. The SN has been officially deemed too powerful by the NZ Police Force.

Heaven only knows what the Canterbury bunny union has to say about it...
