TORCH HUNTING GUIDE

List of torches with their usable shooting range (safely identifying an animal).

​This list has been updated to use a formula instead of being based on user feedback, this is to stop the issue of some people being more comfortable shooting at longer ranges with less visiblity than others. Consider this list as a bare minimum range, it's better to get more than less.

*Formula is ÷2.5 of the rated range spec. For some long range models I've reduced a little further.

I don't stock coloured filters because they lose too much range. Coloured LEDs are best.

I'm now stocking two different red LEDs in 620nm and 660nm wavelength. 660nm is a darker red and is meant to be more effective, the trade-off is less range.

The Convoy S8, C8+, and L21B all have a remote switch available here.
