Mike, tossin' this your way just for thought. Next time you wake up in the middle of the night, how do you find the bathroom? Any night lights in the house? Lights outside that transmit a little light inside? Reason I ask, is that when you awaken at 0-dark thirty your night vision is as good as you will ever experience. Quite possibly it's better than that of the buttinskis breaking into your nest. Take a look, imagine a scattergun in your mitts and ask yourself why you want to turn on a light on your gun to make a perfect target out of yourself.

They know what they want to do, but really don't know the layout of your home or where you are. Keep surprise on your side.



I can find the bathroom and my wiener in the dark, I can"t ID friend from foe in the same level of light and our house has plenty of windows. I have practiced for hours in my home w/ the ambient light available and know that POSITIVE target ID is slower and less reliable w/out a light.


YMMV
