Peskyfoxs Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Used ihunt on my iPhone with an x-mini speaker, played some squealing rabbit and couldn't spot anything, left it 5 tried again scanned behind me and the vixen was sitting watching from behind a hillock. Could see just see her chest took the shot and she was closer than I thought it entered slightly high and ended up head shot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sx3 clay breaker Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 What do you think of the speaker might get one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peskyfoxs Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 The xmini is good, I have a cheapie eBay version as well but no where near as good. It just pops in pocket, not heard many call specific speakers but the volume is decent and it's good fit music too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Peskyfoxs Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Not sure as only just started using, the one tonight must have come 200 yards as it wasnt in field when I started. Have you tried ihunt ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.philmypower. Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 1st of many I'm sure, there a great bit of kit, well done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peskyfoxs Posted February 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 I made some call playlists, you can put pauses between the calls so I have one that does a couple of calls, pauses for 1 minute then runs some different one. Do t forget to turn down brightness if using iPhone so your not lit up like a Christmas tree Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bullet boy Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Well done. Enjoy your shooting with your Archer.You may run out of Foxes in using it!l Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frenchieboy Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Great result Andrew! I've been out with and seen Andrew's set up with the Archer on his .243 and can honestly say that I have never used a better piece of equipment. It's like shooting in daylight! :yes: p.s. Has the other half found out that you have bought the Archer yet Andrew? :whistling: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CWD Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Hi pesky fox What do you think to your archer ? I know they are good but don't you find it a bit awkward to get your head back enough on the stock to use it ? I'm currently using a kite sight but am interested in your views on the archer Regards CWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
al4x Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 you get used to the head position, where they excell is the fact they are easy to swap between guns so no dedicated nv setup and the fact you get a decent level of scope magnification, then the fact you don't need either a hand held spotter or to wave the rifle about to spot then they have a good product. The idea of being able to see to 400 yards but taking shots at 6x magnification or less really doesn't appeal to me. For general foxing and sitting out they are ideal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peskyfoxs Posted February 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Cheers Pete, I haven't mentioned it the other half yet, she would only find it boring Same goes with reloading gear I find the head position fine when you get used to it, whereabouts are you CWD? your welcome yto have a look threough mine if you are near me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CWD Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 I use a kite sight mounted on a blaser rifle but as the blaser mount is a quick release system I can use the kite as a hand held for scanning then quickly fasten it to rifle in the event of a shot The only drawback with the kite is seeing foxes at long distance but not having the magnification That said most of the foxes I have shot with this system have mostly been 100 yds or less I was just curious as to the head position on the stock as it seems a lot more than the normal eye relief you would have just with the scope Regards CWD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
