Looking around the sites i have heard good talk about the light but no one has said if they have killed a hog with it???? This is kind of like asking why people have not killed something with a certain type of bow or rifle. it's a light, it serves one purpose. It's the person behind the trigger that "makes the sale" so to speak. So anyone know whats up with their site? I would really like to get My hands on a destroyer before next week.

The light is made for the purpose of seeing what your shooting at after dark but you still need to see your crosshairs...... I Check out the site and yes it is frozen....They also had a forum that went away a few weeks ago ...Wonder what up?

I killed 2 coons with mine Saturday night with my benelli m2 tac. I pig hunted with and and got tired of seeing nothing so went walking along the creek with a buddy blased 2. These lights are absolutely the real deal. I used mine this weekend with almost a full moon and you could see very easily. I want to see what it does with no moon at all.

I ordered mine of the net and was in my mailbox in 3 days. And yes you can very easily see out of your crosshairs with it mounted to the scope. The packaged I got had a few mounts in it and can quickly be mounted to a shotty or a rifle. 168 bones

I could easily see racoons out to 120 yards in my scope and could see deer out to 150-160 yards with no problem

Just bought a green a few weeks ago to use on my AR. Got a red on my bow. Great product and great customer service as well.

After a few times my destroyer light started to flicker when I turned it on. I sent it back to Robert at Sniper and he replaced it no questions asked. I was impressed with the good svc over there.

I am thinking about getting a Destroyer with the green led since I have an Eotech on my AR and the dot is red I thought it might be easier to see with a green light. Has anyone had any experience with the green light, seems most people pick red.
Also, I wonder how the Destroyer compares with the new Bowlite Riflelite that recently came out. They look pretty much the same. I am trying to decide between the two of them. Any suggestions??

No experience with the riflelite but I can tell you that I am very pleased with my destroyer. I have heard some good reports about the red and green lights but I think most people go with red because it has been proven beyond any doubt that it is difficult for critters to see. If I was going to run an eotech I would probably go with green though. I think there is someone on here who has a green one.

your are correct...streamlights arent cheap...i just bought a poly stinger...but they are worth it. this light is about 7 inches long...very light and is brighter than my huge 6D mag lite!!! there crazy! and they have awesome rechargers. they give you one for the house and the truck. both of them are the piggy back system. average price was about 150

I totally forgot to post after I got My destroyer. I LOVE this thing, very well made and could see in great detail out to at least 100yds with just a crappy 3x9x40 I had on the .22. have not got to hunt with it yet, but plan on it when I head to the ranch this week to over see the install of a stand. I will post up some pics when I get back. I recommend this light for sure!

I used mine in the stand sat night, lightning and rain on its way so I left early and what do you know.....30 mins after leaving the pigs showed up.(game camera) I love mine and have yet to kill anything bc I was waiting on hogs so didnt shoot coons, would rather kill them another way then scare off hogs bc of shooting.I lost a piece to my barrel mount so cant use that mount which sucks...my scope mounts work great its just my scopes are a little too big and cant see too good bc glare into scope.

I have burris XTR rings on my savage and I bought a picatinny top for the front ring so I just attach it to there. goes on and off much easier and doesn't mount to the barrel and affect accuracy. Here is the piece I got: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...4=263602_263622

Well here is my detailed review of it!!!! Finally got one. 3/23/10- sat in stand for 3 hours, saw 2 coons and few deer.. Neither of which paid any attention to the light and minded there own business at 100 and 175 yards away. 4/23/10....8:30-10:45. Right after settling in the stand I hear 3 shots back to back and some squeeling. My neighbor got a local with night vision to come out and he dropped 3 hogs. I didnt see any hogs. same 2 coons and 1 deer. 2 coons kept feeding for 20-30 mins and didnt move. deer was eating in the field and didnt move either. Coons were 110 yards away and deer 150 or so. 4/24/10. 8:30-10:15.......IT FINALLY HAPPENED!!!!! Was watching the same 2 coons and every 5-10 mins I would shine my light and search around for hogs. I didnt hear anything and just looked up to search and it looked like 15 coons under the feeder. But they were baby hogs. My heart started pounding lol and 1 minute later 8-10 full grown hogs followed but did not go inside the trap like the babies(trap was not set). I had 3-4 hogs come 65-70 yards from me and I had the light on them and all the hogs for 5-7 minutes before I shot and they had no idea. I decided to shoot the biggest sow that just had the litter of 12-15 in hopes that the little ones would either die or come back looking for her. So I shot and heard them all fun off, didnt hear any squeeling like I hit her. I waited 5 minutes and decided to get out, go put gun up(grab my pistol, another beer, and a flashlight) and went to where I "shot" her but found no blood. I walked around for a bit to the right of the trap to where they all ran off to. NOTHING!!!!! I was so pissed. So I went back out there today around 3pm to make some mineral licks and wire the gate open on my figure 6 trap. And upon driving up I saw 10 buzzards fly up to the left of the trap. AND THERE SHE LAY!!!!! Too bad I wasted that meat but O well I got her. She is around 200 lbs and as you can tell was nasty after maggots/buzzards got to her. It was a full moon almost so the light was not visible as far but 120-130 yards and I could see easily through my Leopold. On a low/no moon night you can see 150-160 yards easy through your scope. In closing...I also lost a piece to my rifle mount and Robert is mailing me a new one free of charge. THESE LIGHTS ARE AWESOME and the customer service is unbelievable. I hope this company takes off as I will keep raving about it. BEFORE/AFTER PICS:
