RE: beating a dead horse
Hey Keith!! How Have you been? I must say I agree with all of the shooters that replied. Its all about what you prefer,what you hunt,and how you play 3-D. Here in PA. we have antler restictions. I invested in a pair of top qaulity binos for deer hunting, and they are sweet for 3-D also. We still have people saying ''binos dont belong on 3-D ranges,I dont carry them hunting!!'' well I've got a news flash,ANTLER POINTS ARE TOUGH TO COUNT !!! Fancy, or cheap, your scores and deer hunting will benefit from a pair of field glasses. As for magnification we prefer a 7 or 8 power. I believe large power binos are tougher to hold steady. I personally use a 7 X 30 for deer hunting....works very well.
