I purchased some "Kenko vc smart" image stabilized binoculars off Amazon. They are a Japanese brand (made in China) but have the exact same patent number stamped on them as the sigs. Amazon has them a lot cheaper then the sigs right now, they have 3 different models make sure to get a water...
I'll look into that one as well! I agree with making the training fun. For me the pup is a family member first, hunting partner second and a tool last. I want training to be fun for the pup and the family.
I would LOVE to do NAVHDA and have joined but my closest chapter is 4+ hours away so I'll most likely not make it as often as if like.
