laser designators?

[subtlesixer03]

Has anyone had any first hand expericence with these? Do they actually work well for night hunting? Are they worth it?

example of what I am speaking of.

Laser Genetics ND-3 Laser Designator

I used a laser designator once for hunting a deer. Unfortunately, when the airstricke came in, the only thing left was a smoking crater. Strangley enough, CNN showed up shortly afterwords and started screaming about innocent civilians being bombed by the military industrial complex.

One of the things you need to look at with any type of "illuminator" is what visual spectrum is works in. Looks like this one is JUST outside normal vision range of people and JUST inside vision range for hogs. Not sure about other critters. If you're gonna tag something at night to see it, go for something that has a deep IR or UV range that is outside the vision range of what you are hunting. And if you ever want to use it for SHTF night ops, is the beam visable to nightvision goggles, etc.

This isn't so much a Designator, more of a flashlight. And expensive one at that.

it's hard to see with the flash.....it shines up to 250y and will mount to almost any gun....have had it out 2 times but didn't call anything in......great light for the money...

I asked the same question in an earlier thread and was lead to Elusive Wildlife the XL250 Kill light.
hog hunting lights, feeder lights, blood trailing aids

[subtlesixer03]

Hey I called it what it says they are darn it. Personally I think laser illuminater is more fitting.

We just got a handful of laser designators in. I'll get more info up on our website in a day or two. But they are green, pretty neat, come with some mounts and such and are going to be $159

Let me guess some sort of pig roast slash pig hunt combo? Id say that would be a bit unfairish

Close. Very close, but you're being too literal.

The combo part was nice.... Rosine and Katrina were found at the Sanford Bowling Alley where they were eventually returned, slightly worse for wear.

I have the ND3 Subzero, it works great, not as perfect as their video on their website, the beam didn't even effect the coyotes I was looking at, and took a .222 Remington Mag nicely :-) A most have tool for predator hunting at night
