Which bino's are you using?
I've got an older set of swaro 7x42 that is the cat's azz for low light viewing. But they are big and bulky and I've got the itch to try some of the newer, lighter, more sleek models......
My main question is what size bino do you feel is perfect for bowhunting?

I'm still using the same set of Bushnell compacts I've had for 20 years, so I'm kinda looking forward to the responses you get. Gotta be compacts though. I don't need 'em if they're too heavy to carry.

I don't know how perfect mine are, but I just bought a pair of Leupold 8x42 Pinnacles.I'm guessing they're middle of the road bino's for $400. They are super crisp!I love them.

IMO.....8X42's.
The extra magnification does me NO GOOD in the tight areas I bowhunt in.....and they're probably a detriment when trying to get a clear picture window, quickly (Since you'd need ....I think....to hold the higher powered binos more steadily).
Just my .02

RE: Which bino's are you using?
I was using the Burris 10X42's for several years but kept having to send them back for repair (they always replaced them under warranty) but last year I cut it too close to deer season. So, I bought the luppy cascade 10X42's and am really glad I did, they are a really good, clear set of bino's and I like the fact that they have the auto eye relief feature. Never could quite get the Burris perfectly clear where the luppy'sare with no adjustment.
