No middle step needed. Now, how many times would that be critical...?

Not sure, but once may be enough.


This has happened to me. Exactly as stated:

1) see game.
2) get RF to range game
3) set up for shot

The time spent between 1 and 3 results in lost opportunity, either bc game moves out of small window, runs off, etc. Never “ruined” a hunt, but soured the moment.

Happen often enough to make me want RF bins? Hmm. That’s the $3,000 question I suppose. Bc I’m not buying non alpha bins.

I got $3K binocs from Doug for around half that much. Still expensive, but not as painful as retail.

Check with him. Like you, I don't want non Alpha. If RF cuts down on optical quality, it's not enough to be a concern, IME.
