Fox skins hit $40 this week.We have been averaging 5 or six a night.Most are around the $20 mark but the top ones reached $40.I was wondering if world demand has started to pick up.Macca

Macca that is an excellent indicator that the demand is still strong, what i am hearing is that the demand is exceeding the supply, this should keep the prices up. Great job on those Fox, keep us all posted please, oh by the way i found a source for a Carbon Arc handheld Spotlight, 6.5 Million Candle Power, but the cost of the light is $1300 retail.

Blaine,I may have to come to Utah and help you skin to pay for one of those Carbon arcs.Who makes them?Rough night here last night my son and I only got 2 foxes and it began to sleet and visibility was terrible.I bought a scope mounted nightforce(170 striker).It works a charm.Thanks for the tip.Have a good one macca.

The Company is called Maxa Beam Searchlights, mailto:Remotelite@aol.com - Remotelite@aol.com In an e-mail to me they stated that the maxa beam was waaaaay more powerful than even the 240 Blitz! can you imagine that? the Candlepower rating is actually 6 million. and they referred to the lamp as a 75 watt short arc. They offered to provide a demonstration, But with a $1300 price tag, Very tough to justify! however, perhaps they can be persuaded to lower the retail price a bit? say like 75% HA! Blaine
