Hello lads,
Does anyone know anything about this ND-3 laser designator lamp that Ardee sports are advertising on the back of this months shooters digest.
The website isnt very informative.Maybe some of you have come across it elsewhere.

Are these thing even allowed here?

Was shown one a month ago in Atlantic Sports in Carlow. He had it as a demo. Think he is ordering or has them in. Didn't get to try it out. Must see if he got them in. They seem to be good.

Are they big money lads?

greenpeter

Not that bad, wounder what they would be like on lamp shy foxes
Lot of them around

Lots of lads around me who think a shot gun range is 100yrds +:rolleyes: and ye i do miss at least i'm honest;)

clivej

A lot of bucks $$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for a lamp. Range of 5 miles that's great wow if you can shoot that far.

Did i read it ain't good in the cold??

I have ordered 3 long throw torches, 6 rechargeable batteries and a charger from DealExtream.com total €120. There are on the way now. I hope to put one on the scope for foxing

Yes, but they're controlled the same way that lamps are for lamping (that's all these actually are, a fancy lamp).

Ah!

The companies manking those and Ecco boots must be related. As when I brought back a pair of "Waterproof" Ecco boots to the shop I was informed they were only meant for hiking in "dry" places.

Lazer Genetics:
I have one out on loan at the moment, it's the hand held vertion and quite impressed with it.
For what it's worth, I would buy the rifle mounted vertion as it's brilliant when looking through the scope for the shot but I'd stick with the regular lamps for scanning..... Although this hand held would be good for lamp shy foxes.

It was a clear night last Friday but there was still a beam of light comming from the lazer torch and the beam is not wide, not great for scanning fields as it will only illuminate what you are shining it directly at.
I will definitly buy one of the rifle mounted ones though.

I use a semi-auto s/g sometimes could it be mounted to one do you reckon ?

Had a look, am interested, what did you order JG? any hassle with shipping?

BELOWaverageIQ

It would mount on a shotgun allright, but a total overkill to be honest,(excuse the pun) buy a LED torch

The only waterproof boots in my opinion are still the old fashioned military ones made of old fashioned cow hide leather with liberal applications of greasy polish.

clivej

I got 2 LED torchs in from china from Dealexstream.com and its looking like they will do the business right enough for the foxing about $40 each.
All have long throw beams and I tested it out the back and the one I was testing can throw a narrow beam past 150y and when looking through the scope @x12 I can pick out the stones in the field.

I have fitted one to my scope and will give a review of them later.

how far is it possible to shoot with one of these?
do you think its a good job for lamp shy foxes?

Jonty

I tried one of the nd3 lights, and TBH thought it was no use. Hard to pick up eyes and too fiddly. We found it more useful pretending it was a light sabre. I honestly think you can't beat a lightforce
