ShootingEgg Posted August 30 Report Share Posted August 30 Has anyone here had a dragonfly or just decide to fail on you mid shooting. I was out rabbiting last night, first three shots fine and dropped. Then did the usual and polite rabbit into tray in truck. Go back to rifle to carry on and no IR.. completely black screen on the pard. Turned on the built in it and let there be light. Swapped out the battery on the IR but still nothing. But could make out the red light in it. Am I looking at replacing the pill or could it be something simpler?? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So either switch or the pil itself has gone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
