    If you know your animals, break the ground up systematicly and scan from right to left (opposite to reading) you shouldn't miss much. I only use 1/2 of what mine has available because of the way I glass anyway.

    I have never used 8x binos but I certainly don't have any trouble seeing animals with my 10x. Or keeping them steady.

    I hunt with a fella that has an old standard set of Swaro 10x30 or 35s
    Eye cups are held on with insulation tape. Lens coating on all lenses are scratched from where he rubs the things with finger, glove or anything handy. I can't physically use them they're horrible. But he can spot a set of chamois horns in shadow, sticking above rocks and scrub from miles away.
    He is just really good at spotting animals. Always has been.
    FOV shouldn't be any huge advantage if you are systematic and deliberate.
    I also don't waste time by glassing country I know I can't reach or hunt which is pretty common in chamois or Thar country.

    You cant be drinking enough of that Whisky - haven't got the hand tremble "yet" :-))
    That "to me" is main reason I prefer 8x over 10x - and I have had it since 20 so I don't think it was caused by the drink - mmm ??? We did drink a lot back then but
