I’ve now had the Revic’s on several hunts and outtings. And I will definitely say it’s been super nice having ranging binos again.
The deer I’ve killed, I would have killed a with handheld also. Wasn’t really any rushed scenarios. But just for hunting in general and the added stability of using two hands when ranging as well as having a full clear image has been so nice.
I range things way more often now to get a better lay of the land and vantages and what not.
Also I will NEVER settle on ranging ability. I was able to aid in the recovery of a hard to find buck in burnt timber by getting a range on him at 1775 yards (I watched someone else shoot him) and being able to put a pin right on him on OnX.
I figured whoever killed him would have a hard time finding him, so I decided to go make sure they got their buck. I was there before them and my pin was about 3 yards from the buck.
Being able to range longer distances is constantly coming in handy in the field when making hunt decisions.
