I too find binoculars a "can't do without" archery accessory. Too many times I'm in my stand and see movement well out into the woods. Mind you I can't shoot that far but I've used bino's to positively identify deer parts and more specifically, antlers in a distance so I know to call to said deer. More often than not I've picked out deer/ more specifically bucks that I wouldn't seen or called to without binos. I aslo find them useful to study the arrow after the shot, study the animal after the shot. Most animals when shot will run and stop and look back many times offering you an opportunity to glass the animal and distinquish the shot...knowing that can help determine recovery time of recovery or not...

Glassing the surrounding woods aslo breaks up the day and getting involved in your hunt rather than sitting by and letting the hunt pass you by. I also nature study while in the stand and much much more.

Yes, binos are a must for me in my stand whiling bowhunting.
