LOL...you guys crack me up.

I too agree, lower power is better for bowhunting - unless you are hunting in the west or really open areas. I use 8x.

BTW...if you don't believe the 50mm lenses are far superior to 42mm....(all other things being the same) look through a rifle scope at dawn or dusk. Incredible the difference in what you can see with the 50mm. That said, QUALITY has alot to do with it also. A cheap 50mm is likely to be worse than a good 42mm.
