HHA Optimizer--low lite adjustment

[figam]

Love my HHA. But want to know how those who use them deal with low lite adjustment. Quite often the best shots come at the end of shooting lite. I can't see the numbers on my adjusting wheel without great difficulty--usually use a green or red lite, creating a lot of movement in the shooting house. How do you handle this??

Same as you. Very small green, red, white flashlight. There needs to be a better way.

Add a small drop of good glue (clean well first) to the side of the adjustment wheel at 30, 40, 50 etc. Or glue on small marker of some kind to the side of the wheel.
Think of it as a braille type yardage mark indicator .

I like Norm's braille idea.

I use an HHA on one of my bows, (I'm not hunting from a shooting house granted), but when the light gets low and I don't feel like fiddling with the the dial, I set it at 33y and forget it. With my Matrix 405's speed, I'm minute of deer accurate out to 40y which is about as far as I'd shoot under really low light anyway.

I would try adding some glow in the dark paint, either 1,2,3 ... dots to correspond with 10,20,30 ... yards. I have used the Ultra Green from Glowinc. It maintains its glow for many hours after being charged, either by the sun or a flashlight.

You could try painting in the numbers, may have to do some surface prep to get it to stick. I usually seal it in with clear nail polish after it dries as well. It should be plenty bright in a ground blind in the last few legal minutes of shooting, you can always take a small light and give it a quick charge up an hour before end of shooting light.
