HAAA I was just coming to check candlepower forums to see if there was anything going on and I missed it by that much. Thanks for the PMs though, I have to get my PMs here sent to my email for notification. Have fun and hopefully we can have several night hikes this summer.
I just bought a set and its pretty much as described by everyone. One thing is you can turn it off without cycling through the settings. You have to hold the button in for about 2 seconds and it switches off.
Well last time the raffle isnt money based. Whoever brings an item is in the raffle to win what people bring. I think there is a cap on the value $10-20.
I went on a night hike in Santa Teresa a couple weeks ago and it was pretty nice because you could see the city lights and the sunset. One drawback about the park is that there are a few steep parts on the trail.
I like the look of the 500 but the price and cost of ammo I just cant justify it. Also people I talk to at the range who shoot it dont shoot it very long while they are there. If your not in to hurry keep and eye on Calguns for a good deal, people are selling alot of firearms right now.
