true, we need to fight the anti-hunters I agree. But, I do not think that changing the power rule on binoculars is going to fuel the anti hunters fire. The 3D shooter spends on average, double the amount of money on archery equipment than bowhunters do yearly. I myself love to do both. I spend a lot more time and money on my 3D equipment than my hunting equipment by far. I do however use the same binoculars. They are a set of Tasco 20x50 and they do not cost a lot of money. They do however, bring the target(3D or live)up really close. With our management area rules have gone now to a buck having to have 3 poits or better on one side they are very handy to have. Either IBO should remove the limits on binocular power or do away with them completely. (hopefully not). There are several targets out there such as the Mckenzie quartering away deer that has the kill zone high and well to the rear of the animal. If it were not for a good pair of binoculars many shooters would shoot it behind the front shoulder and get a 5. Let us shoot the best equipment we can. It will make for better shooting if you can see what you are aiming for.
