Olight PL-Pro Valkyrie
The Olight PL-Pro Valkyrie, a rechargeable version of the PL-2 weapon lights, is now available. It uses a rechargeable battery to deliver two outputs ranging from 1,500 to 300 lumens.

The PL-Pro Valkyrie's illumination capability is great for a gun that's mounted to a Glock or Picatinny rail. The 900mAh rechargeable battery offers up to 1.5 hours of brightness and then switches to a lower output level. This feature ensures that you can see in dim lights without any difficulty. The Valkyrie can also be recharged via USB, which is a big advantage over other pistol lights. This pistol light is a great choice for personal defense and range use.
Feyachi HL-20
Feyachi HL-20 pistol lights are a great choice. These pistol lights will fit most Picatinny and Glock rails. These pistol lights have a magnetic charging mechanism that makes them secure and won't drop off your gun. They are also very easy to use, with 6 settings including constant/momentary.
You should look at the light throw rating when looking for a pistol light. This tells you how far the light can throw. The light can be scattered over 100 meters by an entry-level model, but it can spread light for over 300 meters by a higher-end one. For use in pitch-dark conditions, a pistol light with a long light throw is crucial.

How To
How to build a Deer Blind
A deer blind is an example of a hunting device that hides game animals such deer, elk and others. It is usually made from wood or canvas and covered with branches or leaves. The hunter then hides within the enclosure, waiting for the animal to move by. A deer blind is often used when hunting at night.
There are many types of deer blinds. Some are portable while some are permanent. They are constructed of materials such as plywood and cardboard.
The most commonly used type of deerblinds is the box blind (also called box stand), which consists of a wooden box with roof and walls. Because they are easy-to-assemble and transport, boxes are very popular.
A tree stand can also be used as a deer blind. Tree stands look natural and are so natural that nobody would be able to tell they exist. Most tree stands are permanently attached to trees.
Ground blinds, similar to tree-stands but built into the ground, are another option. Ground blinds are often camouflaged with grass, dirt, rocks, or sand. Ground blinds can also be called "ground boxes".
There are several different ways to hunt with a deer blind. You can wait for the animal's approach by sitting still. Moving around can be used to scare the animal off. If this is your preferred method, keep quiet and don’t move too often. This could lead to an animal believing you are a threat and running off.
If you want to use a deer blind, you'll first need to find a suitable spot. The best place to use a deer blind is one where the wind will not blow your scent towards it. Avoid areas that are frequented by hikers.
Finally, make sure you know how to properly set up the deer blind, because the last thing that you want to happen is for the animal to see you and run away.
