I’ve had zero issues, or regrets. I find the 12’s being my go to glass for Alaska, or viewing MTN ranges in the west. So far I’ve been pretty happy. I haven’t really noticed, but maybe a few minutes are lost at dusk and dawn over my 10’s. It’s not a deal breaker for me. I find I grab the 12’s...
Happy with mine in 6.5. Scary accurate. I’ve only hunted whitetails but I’ve had zero issues putting them down. I bought the gun for function, not looks. Everyone that has shot it was impressed. To each their own.
I’m using 12’s without issue. I have the headrest and prob use it 50% of the time. The loss of light during hunting is minimal. I travel the west and northwest frequently and view mtn tops. The Swaro’s are amazing. No regrets.
3rd axis adjustment is often offered on a higher price pt. sight. If shooting in a lot of ravines and hills, it comes in handy. Hamskea has a neat level that I use and it's worked well. You have to set your 3rd axis after you have 1st and 2nd set, and also it should be set with the bow drawn...
I use 12's in Ak. I have 10's as well. The last trip a month ago, I only took the 12's. FOV of old 10's but with the magnification. I use them for everything now. I use a headrest if panning open country. In the woods, it's off. Great glass. 10's are the best of both worlds, but I have...
12’s can pick up the shakes. I use the headrest if running and gunning. I haven’t had much of a problem….others have. It’s a binoc you should try. I am not parting with mine anytime soon.
If all you do is bowhunt from a tree, go with 8’s. If heading west occasionally as well, get the 10’s. I had 10 EL’s and used them for everything, I stepped up to 12’s and now use them for everything. Went with 12’s b/c I frequent AK. I have no regrets.
If price plays role, find the best glass in that range. I am a big believer in finding the best glass you can offered. Swaro Pure or SLC are top notch. Meopta are very very good for the price. Find a bino that likes your eyes. Happy searching.
Cameraland. Any of the people there will help you. Top notch staff. Highly recommended. If not in stock, put your down payment on them and they will contact you asap.
I bought the 12’s and the headrest last fall. I had 10 EL‘s last fall in AK and this year took the 12 NL’s. Big difference. I have no issues holding them. They are now my go to glass for everything. No buyers remorse.
good luck with your selection.
I sold my 10’s and purchased the 12’s. Great bino. It will take something much better than these for me to part with them.…I don’t see that happening anytime soon.
