[QUOTE="yobuck, post: 1716453, member: 12443"] Well it appears that Kowa has recently introduced an angle version to their excellent line of spotters. No doubt it will also be a bit pricey, but the option is there for those who want one. Also if you search out “used Bushnell spotting scopes”, on eBay you will find they have or at least have offered them. I do know the older Spacemaster model with the angle eyepiece was an excellent scope, and on occasion you will find one there. I’m assuming you are a spot and stalk type hunter based on what you’ve said. I’m also assuming you are a western hunter as that method doesn’t work as well in the East. None the less, and preferences aside, using a single spotter of any brand or design isn’t a good method for glassing for game. We have been blessed by our creator with having binocular vision with our eyes. If you feel that’s unimportant for glassing, then cover one of your eyes for an hour and then see which works best for you. You could actually achieve the same results using a good rifle scope for glassing as using a spotter. But for sure opportunities are being missed by not using the proper type optics for glassing. Go to the 24 hour Campfire website. Then go to the Home page, then search out an article entitled BIG EYES. At this point it’s an old article, probably at least 10 years old. But I’d suggest anyone having an interest in glassing for game read it, because time doesn’t matter when it comes to technique. [/QUOTE]
