Anyone out in Paddlewise-land have any experience, the web is light (groan!) on reviews. Craig, you suggested that I didn't need a waterproof light and that a water resistant unit would be sufficient. I'm an ex-infantryman and the test of any equipment was to make it "Grunt Proof", so I really, really do need it to be robust. Made of titanium and with no switches, or ways of actually getting into it, would be a good start. I even broke a Claymore Mine in half once, but that's another story! On the matter of Jetski destruction, I must admit that I'm a little disappointed by the muted response from what is a predominantly US audience.I would have expected that by now there would be many posts on calibres, projectiles, sighting systems etc. :-) I must just read the wrong magazines!
