 Bow light...
Kevin... You're gonna hate me for this, but I'm going for it anyways! So I got to looking at the Hawglite web site a while back, and I thought to myself, "I can make something similar to that." So I did... 1 @ 1/4" split lock Washer. 1 @ 1/4" Combo Round machine screw with nut. I used 1/4-20x1/2. 1 @ 5/16-24 x 1 and 1/2 Hex Cap Screw Grade 5 SAE with nut to match. 1 @ 1/4" Rubber lined Zinc Electrical clamp. Rubbler lined for vibration dampening. 1 @ 1" Rubber lined Zinc Electrical clamp. This will vary depending on the circumference of your light. 1 @ roll of radiator hose tape. Assembly time, 4 minutes. Self explanatory. This is the final product: Now no... I'm not out to hurt a company like Hawglite, and I strongly suggest you buy the actual light. It is vastly superior to my Frankenstein project here. This is just something I needed quick and dirty like.

 Re: Bow light...
That's pretty high tech Rick, I've taped flashlites to my stabilizer before, but that's fancy.

 Re: Bow light...
Well Kelly can rest easy knowing it was a complete failure. After seeing the Hawglite in action, and getting a really good idea of the light that thing puts out, I would just suggest to anyone reading this to contact Kelly and get his model. It is VASTLY superior and less of a hassel.

 Re: Bow light...
Completely... in Texas. Not in Colorado. We can't have anything on the bow or the arrow that is of an electric/electronic nature. Not even lighted nocks... which really seems stupid to me because it doesn't aid in the take, only in the recovery. But... I live here... I play by their rules no matter how idiotic they may seem.
