For those of you that torch hunt on foot and are always thinking of ways to mount them, as chance would have it I was in the local camping store and they had ledlenser torch bicycle mounts for sale. 12 bucks and right there in front of me so I bought one to see if it would work as a rifle mount. It works perfectly.. 12 bucks is small country town price so i'd imagine they can be sourced a lot cheaper and probably cheaper than their gun mount.
Also, since switching to eley subsonic 22LR ammo I've had several oppurtunities to test them on game and compare to the CCI subs that I'd been using for so long. The 40 grain eley sure deliver the goods. Where the CCI would completely pass through a rabbit or hare, the Eley don't exit so it seems they are expanding really well and transferring all their energy into the animal in the shortest amount of time.. exactly what you want in a sub.
Here's some victims from the wee hours of this morning.. some big bopper bunnies and what looks like the mother of the march hare i shot the other night. The grass is so high now (above the waist.. don't think about snakes) that torch hunting on foot is getting like shotgunning during the day. You gotta just about step on something before it breaks and hope it stops or slows down enough to get the shot before it's out of sight.
Top fun but
