A2 = the perfect hunting light!

I have been using my A2 to get to my Deer stand in the dark and really love it! The low beam LED's are great for walking, then being able to push the tail switch for short burst of good throw is great for seeing bright eyes. If you don't hunt a bright eye is a thumb tack with reflective paint so you can place them on trees and find your path through the woods. For some reason LED's don't light up the bright eyes very well even the bright ones. I have tried the L4 but think I will take my MrBulk PM6 next week and see how it does. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif

what color LEDs do you have on your A2?

White

ahh i was wondering if you had red..
i know someone who likes red LEDs for hunting..

how far in the woods do you go to get to your stand?

It is about 3/4 of a mile which is not bad until you get a deer and have to drag it, oh and did I mention it is very hilly?

haha. sounds like a rough trek!
man i really want an A2 now. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/sick.gif

after you get your deer do the LEDs put out enough light to prepare it for the drag back home?

ryan, just get one....you won't regret it /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif make sure you get one with the new version tailcap though.

I second that! It is an awesome tool for the woods. I know. I live in the middle of em. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grinser2.gif

For hunting or just getting around, they are great.

I would think that blue LEDS would come in handy in tracking one when shot.

If you're shot, having or not having an A2 is the least of your troubles.

lol@nascar.

In all seriousness, I wouldn't be surprised if the slight bluish tint from the 5mm leds wouldn't be enough to help out with that...

i think i got lucky with my A2 though....the white LEDs it came with actually have the warmer tint that the arc AAA LEs come with, and were not blue-ish at all /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

What's the new version tailcap and how do you recognize it from the previous one?

Thanks

alexgian,
You have email!

Al

Thanks a lot!

One more question: what was the problem with the old one?

alexgian: i think al should have sent you a picture to show you the difference /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

alex: the old one would expose the O-ring when locked-out, and there was a problem with the metal tabs in the tailcap breaking off, which the new one is supposed to have fixed /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks, I am still in... learning mode... /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif
As I am in the process of buying one, how can I make sure that I receive the new model? Is there a different part# for the new A2?
