Default Tru-Glo sight light battery fix

I just McGuyvered a fix I thought I'd pass on...I had to replace the batts in the light on my Tru-Glo sight. They were L 736, an odd size I've found out. On the i-net, there were several conversion charts that indicated that a "bunny battery" sized 392 was the same. Nope. I put three 392s in the light and nuthin'. When I compared the 392s to the one original L 736 I saved, I discovered the 392s were a hair thinner than the original batteries.

Sooo...I made two small squares of folded tinfoil shim to fit between the thinner 392s, and presto...da kine small light wen' light up! Solid Brah!

note: I don't claim to be the first to do this. I suspect other archers with Tru-Glo sights have faced a similar problem. I'm jus' passin on some info to maybe help somebody else.

Good luck, whatevah you like go hunt.
