I was planning on using it as a way to get a better look at something I find glassing with my 10x binos. I really don't like using a spotter, let alone hauling it around. I'm not at a horn hunter, so I don't need to get a super clear look at everything that's going on with the headgear, I just need to know that its a buck/bull with horns. However, if they are that bad, I don't want to waste my money. I would consider a big set of binos on a tripod, its just that much more stuff to haul around.
