Dear Mr. Braap sir,... I'm afraid I must offer you my humblest apoligies. Apparently the Admissions Officers of our fraternity has been lacking and slacking off in there job. (lets blame this on BenjiHunter, cwlongshot, OleTomCat, Tater, nervoustrigger, and anyone else you care to add to the list).Rest assured, I am going to go have a very stern talk with them on this COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE Behavior. (I may even wag my finger at them too). SHAME ON THEM !OF COURSE you are admitted to our Brotherhood. ABSOLUTELY you are assimilated,... err,.. I mean,....One of us now. (Oh Gawwwd help you now). Furthermore,... since they should have welcomed with loving and open arms by now,... I am personally ordaining you to Sergeant At Arms of the order,.... and authorizing you to choose their brutal relentless punishment for this grave and selfish infraction. Do not go easy on them. They need to understand how badly they have hurt your very sensitive and tender feelings. They should be made,... to never again forget,.... how they have traumatized and neglected you. I hope that the therapy sessions and counseling will provide a speedy recovery, and your emotions are soon restored to their original state. Please accept my sincere apologies, Ron (Head NUTCASE of this motley crew)oh yeah,... almost forgot,...Hi Kim, your in too. You can help Braaap choose what they deserve and have coming.Did I miss anyone ?

Welcome, Braap and cryptoad, to our fraternal order! We are looking forward to many pictures of perforated pests from you guys!
I've posted this before, but here's the light setup I'm using on my rifle.Quotelight and mount$9.90 green flashlight - Ultrafire WF-501B$3.99 pressure pad$4.90 mountbatteries and charger$5.70 batteries - qty 2 lithium 16340 protected cells$6.90 charger for 16340 and 18650 cellsThat's $31.39 for everything. Basic shipping is free but slow as molasses; they ship most items from Hong Kong. I often spring for the expedited shipping for a few bucks. That usually takes it from 4-5w down to about 2w. If you're the impatient type and spoiled by Amazon Prime 2-day shipping like I am, two weeks feels like forever but the prices are fantastic so I don't grumble about it too much.Attached is a picture of how my B51 is set up. Notice the light is mounted under the muzzle. If you prefer, you can get a tacti-cool mount that puts your light on your scope tube, however having the light close to the objective bell tends to produce glare. That's counterproductive to the whole IwannaseethingsbettersoIcanshootthem plan so it didn't appeal to me.Regarding red light versus green light, I have tried both and it has been my experience that fewer creatures get spooked by the green than the red. For my part of the country that means possums, raccoons, armadillos, and foxes. Yes, I've even had foxes stare back at me and then casually get back to what they were doing. There doesn't seem to be a consensus on which color is better, however, so your mileage may vary. For ten bucks, do what I did and get a red to try it for yourself.

Here is some picks of mine. Wife said now thats just wrong when i installed the feeder below the targets lol. I have also added ir security cameras in the tree and one on the privacy fence for a wide view. I can watch the action inside on the big screen. Just hung a solar path light up there to aid in night shots. Spotted a coon the first night but missed him trying to hold a flashlight and shoot.Caught 2 tree rats this morning. First one caught it in the head second thru the back heart lung shot. Almost dropped that one on my cat. That brings my tree rat count to 37 this year. Weapon of choice is a gamo bone collector bull whisper in .177 with a center point 4x16 scope.
