Sig Zulu6 Binos from Horse/Muleback?

[lifeisgoodsteve]

Hi All,

Has anyone tried using these binos yet when riding?

The image stabilization is intriguing as everyone seems to rave about it when just hand holding them.

Thx,

Yes, its why i bought them originally 3 years ago...Now i use them exclusively for everything. They work great in the saddle even if my horse puts his head down and eats

I've not used them from horseback, but I have used them from moving vehicles like a high-rack truck in Texas. They work shockingly well from unstable platforms. The first time I tried it, I spotted a coyote's head at 600 yards while we rocked and swayed over a nasty road. I was floored.

Thanks guys. Do you prefer a 12x or 16x from horseback or does it matter?

i have the 16x...work fine for me. The 12x would probably be a little easier to find what your lookin at. But i like the 16x for everything I do.
