Treestand Binoculars

[PSDBowhunter]

What size binoculars do you use while treestand hunting? The same ones you use all the time or a smaller pair?

The binocular harness thread got me thinking about this. For the past few years I've always had my Maven 9x45's on my chest. Great for out west and picking things apart from the treestand or saddle, but I'm thinking of going a little more minimalistic when hunting from a tree this year.

Maven B3 6x30 for me

Funny, those kowa and b3 in the 6x30 range were the two I was looking at.

Any head to head comparisons between the kowa 6.5x32 and b3 6x30?

Would also save some weight of my current setup.

I've got Maven 9x45 for out west as well. Was running Vortex Diamondback 8x32 and Vortex Viper 8x42, but decided to go with Kowa 6.5x32 this next season for the crazy field of view. I looked at Maven but for price/FOV, chose Kowa.

Love that Kowas can also be run easily with one hand
