socpes and binoculars
« on: July 30, 2006, 04:18:38 PM »
I read JPShelton's suggestion that we use binoculars and not our scopes when we go hunting to spot game. This afternoon I used a pair of 6 X 32 Cellestron binoculars to search the area around my porch where I hunt in the late PM. He suggested I look for ears and other rabbit parts and sure enough, twice I was able to see parts of jack rabbits that I could not find panning the area with my scope (Leepers 6 X 32 with sun shade - needed in late afternoon here in the high desert of California). I got two shots that I never would have had otherwise, one measured at 55 yards and the other at 40+ yards through two lines of pinon and junipers. This is one of the blessings of a good forum, we get information that helps us enjoy our sport and be better at that we all love to do, shoot air guns.

nothing beats experience...and sharing it.

You could always try a spotting scope if you wanted to as well, but at the range you are engaging the binos are probably more than adequate.

Picking out those bunny ears from far off and then stalking your pray with a scope might be kind of fun though.
