It only takes a bit of practice to lean to find game fast with an angled. It's not rocket science.
I agree it's not rocket science, but it's just a fact that it is easier and faster to find something you are looking at rather than looking away from...................
I would have agreed with you before I got my angled. Once I familiarized myself with the angled, I find it just as fast for me
It defies common sense, logic and reality.......... but you go boy
With an open peep sight on an angled spotter, let alone with some practice I find the inability to quickly get on a critter pretty much a moot point.
One thing a poster mentioned previously is that with angled spotters I always am wondering if I am torquing the eyepiece and damaging it when I have my pack cinched down real tight. That could certainly happen with a straight eyepiece too, so maybe it is just a mental thing on my part.
I dunno....
