RE: beating a dead horse
I would vote for doing away with all restrictions on bino power. Better binos do make a difference and people don't want to buy another pair so they can shoot all major 3-d org. anymore than the IBO guys will turn down their speed to shoot an ASA event. We should all work together to promote archery and growth in this area or it will contine to die off. Maybe attendence at the major shoots is still strong but alot of local clubs are closing down due to low numbers of shooters and rising target prices. I saw a post on another site that stated that a very high priced pair off binos was tested and was in focus for about 4 yards difference out past 40 yards. I don't know if this is true or not as my binos only cost a fraction of what this brand does. I have 7x35, 7-15 zooms, 8x40, and 10x42 binos and I can tell you the 10x42 is by far the best. They are not super high priced but not Wal-Mart stuff either. I have friends that do not shoot the IBO who use 16 and 20 power stuff. If they check your bow weight and arrow weight why not just look at the binos to see if there are any marks on them??
