carring them to and from the stand is no problem as i wear a day pack. i have found them to be excellent in every way except size and weight. for hunting whitetails from a stand, i now employ a swarovski 10x50. it was fine in it's day but has been bypassed by much better glass. for a number of years ,i used a zeiss 8x30. i could expand on that but it seems self-evident. the reasons are many but the two most important are safety and success. carrying a binocular for any big game hunting is a necessity. third, let me give you some personal experiances and observations. i have done a lot of business with s.w.f.a. second, do not pay retail! you are going to be spending plenty of money (wisely i think), why pay an extra 100-200 bucks plus tax and get nothing more for it? there are several companies with excellent reputations that sell for less. you will probably find the answers to your questions there. first, go to and spend some time on that site. JPGEORGIA, here are some things to consider. Thanks for your inputs, and by the way was in the wood this morning but got drenched and came home!!!! Happy hunting. I know the light gathering capacity of the 40's will be better, but will I carry them as much? For those of you that use binoculars which size do you use? For those who have both sizes do you find yourself leaving the full size at home? Does the 40 mm objective's resolution or light gathering capacity outweight its disadvantage of being large and heavier? As you can see, I am considering pretty good glass and I want to use it, so I am looking for the most practical. The field of view on the pentax is much smaller than the other full size binoculars. I am looking at the Nikon 8 x 32 venturer LX waterproof, the Leica Trinovid 8 x 32 BN, the Zeiss 8 x 30 b/GA T Classic in "compact" size and the Nikon 8 x 42 venturer, Zeiss 8 x 40B T Victory II, Leica 8 x 42 Trinovid 8 x 42BN and finally the Pentax 8 x 42 DCF SP. As of the last few years during latter in the season as the woods have opened up, I find myself wishing for a decent pair of binoculars. This happens when Link shield jumps on flat ground in a direction parallel to the direction of his skew.Greetings all, just joined the forum, and am an avid whitetail hunter in Northern GA. Using the horizontal movement in combination with the upward bounce can be advantageous in many situations, so it's advised to set your skew for the bounce in the general direction you want to move in.Īfter doing a skew bounce, Link will be left with an unusual type of skew that can cause him to immediately ragdoll upon shield surfing, making it time consuming and frustrating to clear the skew state. For example, if the top of the slope is to the south and the bottom of the slope is to the north, Link's horizontal movement will be northward. The direction of Link's horizontal movement is determined by the direction of the slope the skew was set on. You may notice that during a skew bounce, Link will have a horizontal movement along with the upward bounce. Skew bounces can work while moving, but the results are inconsistent and unpredictable, so it's best to use them while standing in place. In order to use the bounce, shield jump in place (X, then ZL+A) and unequip your shield before hitting the ground (using the d-pad-left quick menu). Shield surfing or closing the game software will clear the skew state, just as with any other type of skew. The bounce skew should now be stored (until cleared), and can be used when needed.
