Hunting enthusiasts have many choices when it comes to headlamps. There are a variety of headlamps for hunters: Reactive headlamps (or Cree XPE) LED headlamps, Black Diamond Storm 400s headlamps, and Petzl Tukkinas headlamps. Headlamps that are rechargeable may also be worth your consideration. Rechargeable headlamps can be heavier than regular ones and require four AA batteries for operation. We will be talking about different types of headlamps. Which ones are best for hunting?
Battery life can be extended with reactive headlamps
Reactive headlamps increase the battery life by switching between a bright white and a red light. This preserves night vision. All three lighting modes can be adjusted to adjust the intensity of the light. The reserve battery feature lasts an hour at 25 lumens, as the battery nears its expiration date. Although reactive headlamps can also help preserve battery life, some people dislike the added brightness.
Reactive headlamps last at least three times longer than regular ones. These headlamps utilize the MyPetzl mobile and tablet application. You can set the headlamp to last up to ten hours, thereby extending the life of the battery. Bluetooth connectivity allows you to control reactive headlamps from your smartphone or tablet.
Cree XPE LED Headlamp
The Cree XPE LED Headlamp has four modes that provide optimal lighting. It has a center white light, which is supplemented by three green LEDs at the bottom and four red sidelights. One of them can be used as a strobe. The lamp is weather-resistant and has a three-layer nylon cross strap elastic headband. This headlamp produces light at a range of 20 to 126 lumens. You will receive two (2) AAA batteries.
The 120 Lumen CREEXPE LED in ST-120D Headlamp gives off a powerful beam. It can be zoomed in and out as well as two power modes. This headlamp can stay lit for 16 hours. The headlamp also has an aluminum bezel made of aircraft grade aluminum and an integrated heatsink. This headlamp is highly durable and will stand up to rough use. The price is reasonable for the features.

The Petzl Tikkina headlamp is an impressively bright, long-lasting light that provides 150 lumens of illumination. It also has an incredibly wide beam for close proximity lighting. This headlamp is compact, easy to carry, and runs off three standard AAA/LR03 batteries. The manufacturer also offers a rechargeable batteries for a small cost.

This will preserve your night vision.
The Storm gets 6 points out of 10 for ease-of use. The one-button interface makes it simple to switch between basic functions and modes.

When you shoot at a wild turkey, use a shotgun loaded with 00 buckshot. It is best to only take one shot.
If your gun jams try again later. To avoid getting hit by flying pellets, duck behind a tree or car. If you are lucky, a hunter will come along and help you clean up.
