I have contacts, but I also consider these binos as a SHTF item. In that event contacts will be an issue. Blame the pepper part of my brain. That and I'm typically lazy and don't wear them. Lol
My biggest thing is my glasses. I've looked through everything Academy has, some offer comfortable viewing with them, some don't. But unfortunately none of them have the ranging reticle I want.
I want a spotting scope as well, but I want these for scanning, and for scanning I like binos. The spotting scope would be good for stationary targets.
Sometimes they have other stuff not on their site in store. And they might be willing to load it. Worst case scenario I usually end up buying ammo I forgot I needed. Lol.
@Cudruln you might want to make a trip to Georgia Arms. It's right down the road from us. You know where it is? They have a good selection of ammo and do some custom loads.
Easy. Build more freaking ranges! Even if they're privately owned ranges with incentives to allow LE use them once a week or something. I know they give tax money to worse causes. Proper training for your officers should be a priority.
Oh I'm sure it does. I never doubted that. But I can't even think of a logical reason from that standpoint. Of course that's because there is no logic behind it, I know.
