I did read their replies and I think most of them said that a higher power magnification bin with a usable EP of 4 to 5 mm (as I said a 10x42 = 4.2mm for the slower crowd) is what is preferred. I think one poster mentioned a 8x56, one post! I tell you what.... I cordially invite Bob, Ron, and anyone else who would like to go on a elk or deer hunt out to NM and I'll put you up and feed you and let you have a front seat lesson in low light glassing! Who's gonna come on down and take me up on this offer???? Then fell free to post to your hearts delight about what you have or have not learned!Hey, CL--oh, buddy--did you read the replies over at 24hourcampfire? Don't they have a lot of "hunters" over there. I mean, what do you think about those replies?
And by the way Bob I'm not just going out and casually glassing little targets and trees in my back yard I'm actually out there! I'm actually out guiding people on hunts where low light game observation is actually taking place! Don't you think if a 7x42, 7x50, 8x42, or 8x56 worked better I would be using it? I have been in the field for the past twenty years, I think I know a thing or two about what works!
But I'm sure you have some property to sell us don't you!
