i have tried the blinders and have made a few sets ,,,, in doing so the results have been inconsistant(had great lights and been dead late ) ,,when your blinding you are on the trigger and any light that might creep thru will make you react,(going red) or get distracted for milisecond and the result is way late ,,,dan fletcher can do both with great results ,,,try it ,,i did and was great and real late ,, just my 2 cents gmonde

The guys model needs some adjustment to make it work with a helmet though.
