    Gents,

    I have a new armortech, but have yet to hunt with it. Testing it out yesterday, I noticed when I turn on the light, how much light escapes from the front. I mean, it might as well be a bright neon sign in front of the bow.

    Any solutions for this out there? Concerned it'll get me picked off.

    Thanks!

    If it’s a rheostat style light it should be adjustable.

    And I wouldn’t worry about a deer picking you off. I’ve never heard of someone getting picked off by a bow sight light. I know deer see blue about as bright as we see fluorescent green and orange, but I’m not sure about an actual sightvlight because if I’m correct I think they’re a type of “black” light and I’m not sure how that works into the equation.

    I have in the past used a black sharpie on the lights glass to dim the light coming from the sight light if the light made my pins to bright.

    Never saw an Armortech light up as bright as yours and I have used them for my hunting sight for a long time.
