They do not get advertised in the hunting community but bird watchers know a little about glass. They are light weight and great glass and can be found at budget pricing.
Another consideration is the string angle at full draw. I shoot a longer draw length 30.5 and when at full draw I like to be able to have the tip of my nose on the string in my anchor point. With short axle to axle bows this sometimes isn’t possible based on the string angle. This is now...
