This was really helpful! I am new to bow hunting and my outfitter has Fury, Razor & Viper binos. I loved the Razor & Fury, but not the Viper. The Vipers caused more eye fatigue, yet the Fury did not. I ended up buying the Razor binos and Razor rangefinder because of the quick, light and easy deployment for ranging targets. Now a Razor glass rangefinding bino w/ AB would be a game changer!
Looking at picking up a rangefinder currently only long range shooting. Prospective western elk hunt colorado or montana in 2 years where should I start likely be shooting targets at roughly 1000 yds.
For just long range shooting, it's almost impossible to beat the Fury HD 5000 and if you can get the new one with AB functionality on board then that's really sweet. Monoculars are cool, but they're main advantages don't really apply to someone who is just shooting long range.
Love your talks! Getting back in to shooting and hunting and starting to get in to longer ranges. Maybe I missed it, but have you done one on the Kestrel or similar products? When to use them, when not, how necessary, options, etc. Thanks!
Range Finder and separate Binocular. Excellent glass is timeless. The technology of range finding is advancing quickly, and you can get a great rangefinder for $500; you can't get amazing binos for that price. And, if an object is too far to see with a range finder you don't need to know the exact range yet, so you'll be ok with binos. If you can afford it, buy all three; I suspect a lot of people will end up with that eventually anyway.
I guess you would note a rock or tree near the animal to remember it's location when you switch to rangefinder and go off where you remember the animal being even if you can't spot it with the rangefinder.
Absolutely! They would be very comparable to the Viper HD line of binoculars in terms of optics. If you didn't wish to have any display, simply don't press any buttons and it will operate just as a normal binocular would.
@Vortex Nation Podcast #10minutetalk on the 6.5x47 Lapua? Anecdotally easier to handload vs Creedmoor, more pro shooters using it, more pros winning with it. Nowhere near the hype.
I own the vortex fury and the distances aren't showing up I have a new battery that I put in but I get nothing. Can anyone trouble shoot this and help me
I still don't understand why someone who bow hunts needs a rangefinder? Just spend some time at a football field, you will be able to read distance very accurate.
Hey guys, would love to see a video on the 6.8 western. Keep up the good work.
I was just about to comment the same thing!

How about a video on the 6.8 western or 6.5 prc, maybe a comparison video?
this is the best video on this topic, thanks

The Fury and with a spotting scope...let's go huntin'!

Any recommendation for primarily bow hunting and 3D, but also using for some shooting out to 400 yards?
Monocular style should do you just fine. The Ranger 1800 would be perfect!
@@VortexNation Thanks for the quick reply!
If you need the optical edge of a standard bino just to spot an animal, how are you ever going to range it with a monocular after you have spotted it?
I guess you would note a rock or tree near the animal to remember it's location when you switch to rangefinder and go off where you remember the animal being even if you can't spot it with the rangefinder.
binos are to identify the size and gender not just seeing its there.. and especially smaller long shot animals like sheep etc.
Are the rangefinder binoculars good normal binoculars? Can you turn off the rangefinder display completely? I don’t always want to know range

Just found this and subscribed to the channel. Go Cougs!
Give us Ryan’s opinion of that new 6.8 western
Could call shot adjustment better if you had a MOA or mrand scale in the display to measure how for your off
We do have scales in select models of our monoculars!
Amazing!
Please do a #10minutetalk with Mr. Ryan Muckenhirn about the mighty triple deuce aka .222 Remington!
Go cougs!
