    Just got into the whole flasher thing this year and wowwww. The only problem I’m having is seeing on sunny days without being right on top of it. I’ve tried making an extended shield too block the sun with little improvement. I see they make a magnifing lens would that help I even sit with the unit facing away from the sun. I thought my battery may be weak but as night came flasher was still bright I’m using an fl-8. Appreciate any help

    I took a 1 pound coffee can-cut out both ends and paint hte inside flat black. Fits over the Vex and works great!

    I have used a small coffee can over it, it helps keep the sun out of the screen.

    I like to set up in the hole so that my shadow is over the flasher…sun is always at my back. Works fine for me standing, kneeling or sitting.
