TheFoxes won both battles. However, things have changed & there’s some new elephants in town,
it’s time for another round of battle.

The battle ground:
My back yard, spent last sat. cutting branches & clearing out the woods, so that I have twin tree target 250 feet out, a little further than last time, which was 200 ft.

Thanks for making the comparo photo, really nice way to do it!

Sorry for the part B, the SR95-UT is broken, so I’ll have to cut it down & make a Jumbo elephant out of it.
Also, Part B will also include Saabluster’s modified TN 31, I just placed an order.

Do you have a lux meter to see how many Kcd the TN31 is? I have been looking at that one for a while. :)

5

I do, and I will publish the lux numbers after I get it

I am having a hard time making the images show up, what the?

6

This will be good! I really dig the CBT-90 Elephant’s tint. Did you need to enlarge the FM3X bulb opening to use it with LEDs, or is no drilling required?

7

Thanks,

I love that tint too, snow white w/o any added color.
I bought the FM3H w/o reflector & inserted DX 3” SMO for led use, fits perfect.

You need to use the direct link. Instead of putting in the link like this.

Put it in like this. I get this link by doing open image in new tab.
