Burris ff3 question (taking off gun each year)

[alloutdoors]

I'm not sure how long the battery will work if left on for hours duck hunting.

I leave mine on all day turkey hunting. Depending on where you look I've seen the FF3 listed at either 10,000 or 20,000 hours of battery life. 10,000 hours is over a year of continuos use.

great ideas all.
I guess you could also try to find a cheap load with same POI as your htl loads.
I have a saddle mount i used to remove on my sons 870 20 gauge.
Re sighted with low brass dove and quail load at 15 yards.
And ended up with a 2 3/4" Federal Premium Pheasant 4 shot that patterned same center as 3" HEVI 13 TURKEY LOADS AT 25 TO 40 YARDS. Heck maybe just lucky, but worked in this case. Always shot a hevi 13 at 30 though to triple check, but hated wasting one of those loads.

wow, didn't realize that!  good to know for sure, heck i just assumed it was like others and would last a few days if left on.
