Optilogic has some of the best 3-d binos I have ever seen and I have looked through some that cost over a $1000 and it would be almost impossible to find better in that price range.
I am not sure but I believe leupold might make them.
If those are more than you want to spend,I did see a real decent pair of Leupold's at D icks that I glassd some target with and they were very nice for around a 100 bucks.
Just make sure you get a pair that are legal for your venue,ASA doesn't care what power you use but Ibo has an 8.5 power limit.

I'm leaning towards the Nikon Monarch ATB 12x56's, Black. A guy I shoot with has some of these, and they are all I'll ever need.

[8D]. The way I see it, as much time and money as I'm putting into this, I might as well get some good glass.

Just go to your local Pawn Shop they always have good binos.There is not many people that go there looking for them.I got a pair of swarovski binos for $150.00 saved about$800.Cash always talks with those guys.

I shot a 3d today, did pretty well considering. My scale on my slidebar was about 2-3 yards weak for some reason [&:]. I only had about 2-3 targets that really fooled me. I think I finished in the top half of the field in Open Trophy.
Aaron, how far of a drive is Damascus from you?

RE: Binoculars..I need some
Matt,they have a pair of 10 power as well and I know they were better than the 1000 dollar Nikons a friend used.I have looked at targets with both and the Optilogics were better.
But give them all a try and get the ones you like,just remember that you will be looking at targets and looking for lines,some just seem to be better at this than looking over a 1000 yard field at game.
