hahah, yes "thick" is relative. thanks for the watch

I haven’t had my hands on the 10x52, I’m guessing they are unreal.

Thanks for watching Woody!

Thank you!

Thanks!

Thanks for watching!

It is hard to do but I am glad I did, thanks for watching.

Glad to hear it! Thanks for watching!

Thank you!

@@tonytrietch6501 you are quite welcome 🙏😃🏹

Thanks, hopefully I will have a deer film soon too!

@@trident8872 because close isn’t good enough for Travis. But if you jump over to rokslide and look on our homepage, you’ll see we’ve reviewed KOWA several times and they are a great optic. The most recent review was on their 55.

@@Rokslide you mean to say Kowa is not above and beyond Swarovski scopes??

@@trident8872 when Kowa makes binoculars in the same league as the NL and puts rubberized coating on their optics I’d consider them, until then, they are inferior to Swarovski not only in quality, but long term re-sell value. That matters.

@@The-Huntian seems like guys with poor eye hand coordination really have problems with the twist locks.

😂😂😂 twist locks are junk.

@@travishobbs Neanderthals struggle too.

I think I’d go with the 10x52, saying that I haven’t looked through them, but I’ll bet in low light they are unreal

@@travishobbsthat’s what I figure as well. I’d love to see 10x52s and 12x42s on tripod side by side in some low light situations. I wonder if the extra light would translate into greater clarity enough to compensate for the extra 2x. I’m currently running 12x42s. With the fov + mag, they’re ridiculous.

I don't know if thats really true though. I'll have to test it out, but I think deviations laterally or vertically shouldn't really matter. Only the angle really matters, so as long as the mounting surface/plate is parallel to the tubes on their respective binos and spotter, you should be good to go. Like if you're looking through binoculars standing, and you squat down, you should still see basically the same thing, as long as you don't shift where you're pointing it, right? That said, I don't know if the clamp systems like the aziak are perfectly parallel to the tube.

I can’t comment on the Aziak system, but I do think it is important to get a system that is machined well. Outdoorsman’s is top notch

@@brackenstokes1840 I’ll try and get on that asap! 👊🏻👊🏻

@@travishobbsI’m a total FNG and looking at spotters. Was thinking angled because it seems obvious that it’s more comfortable. Your video just convinced me to go straight no doubt. Will be on the lookout for that tuning video as well, thanks for the info.

He’s from southern Idaho/Northern Utah. For people from my/our region it’s Cowa 😂

@@alexmillward7265 haha I get it, it's just kinda gnarly to say the company name wrong if he's ever talking to a rep or endorsing a product over and over

Tomotto/Tomayto…… cows or coooze deer…. 😂😂😂 if I offend a rep for pronouncing the name wrong I could literally care less. I’m a red neck 🤷‍♂️ and I’m not interested in studying pronunciation of foreign words. 😂

"...left out to boost other bows?" Hardly! We don't do it that way at rokslide-- never have, never will. These reviews can't possibly touch on every feature or they'd be so long all the commenters would complain about that instead. We thoroughly covered Elite's SET technology at the full review (written by a Rokslide member) linked below. Here's that review: www.rokslide.com/elite-era-bow-review/

@@Rokslide But you made sure to touch on hoyts 1/4" draw adjustments being a big advantage and stopped to cover deadlock? Could have easily covered SET, LTR and 1/4" draw lengths in 30 seconds and referred to your review for more info? At the same time to be fair you didn't cover the fancy sight/rest mounting options available from about everyone but elite. Be great to cover things quick and refer to your individual bow reviews and avoid wasting time on a review like this. Elite for sure lacks in the mounting of accessories not arguing that. Still a great condensed video and more than anything I appreciate your response!

@@tsi-rocket4144 I don’t think you quite understand how Rokslide works. We take reviews from members and staff, that way we can cover more reviews and members have a chance to share their experiences too. It’s also the most unbiased way to do reviews. When you have that diverse of a pool of writers, there is no way we’re gonna, cover everything you’re talking about in every review. It’s not like we have a Monday morning board meeting and get everybody together to figure out what they’re gonna cover, not cover, etc, doesn’t work that way. If you look at the written review I sent you it’s also linked to another elite review that talks about SET technology. we’ve covered it plenty and if you look at all the reviews as a whole, you’ll see we’re very fair. We just don’t like being accused of hiding anything to promote other bows. Completely unfair statement. And looking at the feedback on this review, It doesn’t look like anybody thinks we’re wasting time.

@@joecad-m4e yes, the RPRC was made specifically to compare optics. I did 3D print one with a built in arca as well. Hit up Travis bertrand on Rokslide and he might make you one as well.

@@mikegans3993 thanks for the watch Mike! It’s fun work (most of the time) 👊

@@liftheavyhunthard09 hey thanks for stopping by and watching and leaving a comment. Happy to pray during my videos, I’d be a fake if I didn’t because I pray & give thanks after every animal harvested. Enjoy that time with your daughter, as you know, they grow up fast. My son from that video is almost 19 now. Thanks again.
