Hello everyone,
On Friday I received my express post pack from Glen at Quarterflash. Inside was a
Wolf Eyes Sniper 260 torch, it came with rifle or shotgun barrel mount and a pressure
switch, coil and end cap as well as a charger.
I already have the Raider 380 torch and some accesories, and believe me what a good light
it is, when it sits on top of my scope on my .308 or .243.
Well I was after a torch to mount onto the barrell of one of my shottys, so after speaking to
Glen I purchased the Sniper 260 LED torch. What a beatiful bright white light it gives out on
full power mode. This light has 3 brightness levels and a strobe light mode built in.
Well the other night I was sitting at home and I decided to go down the road to the local
park and compare the 2 torches and see if there was much of a diff between them.
I walked out to one of the footy fields in my trackies and thongs and switched on the
Raider 380 and aimed it at the opposing goal posts 100mtrs away. I could clearly see
the goal posts lit up in the darkness, and I could see way beyond this into the distance.
I then tried out my new Sniper 260 and the result was very similar, just that the Snipers
LED threw out a much whiter light than the Raiders incandesant globe.
Anyway at this point I nearly jumped out of my skin as a BLOODY GREAT BIG MALE
BOXER DOG rushed at me from the side, he was barking mad and growling and showing me
his canines. I nearly did a number 2 in my pants, my 1st reaction was to blind him with my
Raider but then I remembered Glen telling me that the strobe function on the Sniper may be
usefull to disorientate a mugger or assailant. I put the Sniper into strobe mode so fast that
even I am amazed now at how quick I can move when in danger. The Boxers eyes lit up
and strobed back at me from only 10mtrs away, but he stopped dead in his tracks, put his
teeth back in his mouth and just stared and stared into the strobing light not even blinking once.
After what seemed like an eternity coz I was still shitting myself, some bloke ran up and called
his dog back to him and they walked off. I didnt even get an appology or anything from this guy.
But I was relieved that my quick thinking and my new torch saved my butt. I then decided to
stay a few more minutes and play with my torches so as to give the addrenilin that was still
pumping through my body disipate. 30 seconds or so later, something made me spin around, and
there is this stupid @@@@@@@ mutt again, 5mtrs away coming at me, I launch the Raider at him hitting
him on the chest and I activate the strobe on the Sniper again, and he slams on the anchors and just
stands there staring at me again, this time he is so close I could have stepped up and booted him if I
had shoes on. I then yell at his owner to come get his @@@@@@@ mutt or Im gonna club the dog then
him. He runs over and grabs the mutt and leaves again no appology or anything, I inform him in the
most nicest way possible (not), that his dog should be on a leash in this park at all times, even
after ####### dark. After this I hightailed it outa there.
I see this clown walking this dog often in that park during the mornings when I take my son to school,
I have never had a problem, but for some reason after dark this stupid mutt gets aggresive. Thank god
I had the Sniper and the strobe function on my side or it could have got ugly.
I hope Glen you read this coz I have just found a new use for your product mate, thank you, I still have
all my toes.
Now do you reckon I could get a fox to be dazed by the strobe, and just stare at me like the dog was?
cheers all
