    It's something similar to what's used on a sniper. But it's not red.
    So watch out for a red dot on your head:D

    Be Careful with it. I got a green laser shone into my eye intentionally by local "car enthusiasts". I had fuzzy vision and a sore eye for two days.

    As for them on sniper rifles, pure useless IMO :D bullets drop, light doesn't ;) That lark is for the movies.

    I thought that for a long while, till I got me hands on a Led Lenser.
    I still have a rechargeable Maglite wired into the jeep, but the LL is the one I use more often.

    Yea I'm avoiding eyes as I paid good money for my perfect vision :D
    It's for messing around with the cat mainly, but I shone it over a lake earlier and it reached the other side :O

    believe it or not lasers are classed as weapons

    Rightly so. I was perhaps two hundred yards away from the twat that shone it at me, and it felt like a solid hard finger poke in the eye that lasted over a day.

    I don't mind them in the hands of responsible people, but if I catch who shone it at me I intend them to experience what a cow does during AI, except they don't have the proper cavity so I'll have to don the long glove and improvise using the laser as a straw.

    I wuz not amused.

    Pretty sad post as far as I am concerned - also subsequent posts relating to this subject.
    One wonders why farmers/landowners do not allow permissions these days??
    I know the genuine people in the hunting/shooting forum would not be pleased either.

    what has that got to do with people with the mini lazers?

    Especially as I never mentioned hunting with it, our lands are preserved anyway even if I agreed with shooting.

    Or was any sort of good at aiming for that matter.....

    The quickest ways to agree with shooting are to lamb outside in April and keep hens.
