Title: Binocular Harness Choice?
Post by: tgomez on March 26, 2018, 10:40:06 PM: I just bought this Alaska Guide Creations Cub binocular/range finder harness system. Perfect fit for my Nikon Prostaff 10x42s, and Nikon Archer's Choice rangefinder. It has side pockets for my lens cloth and diaphragm calls, as well as a back zipper compartment for my tags/licenses. It also has a elastic pocket on top for a cell phone. I LOVE THIS HARNESS for $103 and it should be perfect for bow hunting. What are you using for your hunts?

Never thought about this as a practical issue, but I wore it this year for rifle season after striking out during early arch. I went to take a prone shot on a deer at 300 yrds and literally could not get comfortable. Had to waste precious seconds and completely remove the harness to get into a comfortable shooting position.

Not an issue with a bow, but worth considering as an overall hunting purchase.

A few years ago I quickly set up for a prone shot on a nice muley, 520 yds slightly downhill. Was in about 6 inches of snow and just couldn't get enough under the butt of the gun to get a solid rest. Luckily my bino harness was right there, flopped my Leicas out and shoved them under the butt. Settled in and smoked a 179" buck. They're not always in the way :chuckle:
