Thread: 12power binos

I have 10x ELs and just got some really good 11's and I like them, have tried to use 8s and just found I was straining all the time trying to pull the landscape that little bit closer to my eye, the argument for 8s having a wider field of view is void when you're in big country, if you're scanning faces at 1000yds or further away you're still going to be looking at a good few hundred feet of area in your field of view at anyone time, that's plenty of area to look at at any one moment and for an animal to be holed up in and you're still going to cover a lot of ground with a field of view like that. To tell the truth I spot a heap of animals very far off just with my naked eye then use binos to confirm age/sex/size etc and a slightly higher magnification helps greatly with this
