Benefits of Rangefinding Binoculars

We are just going to say it. A pair of rangefinding binoculars needs to be one of your hunting necessities. These types of binoculars are often better than plain rangefinders and can help you on your expeditions. Here are reasons you should consider purchasing a rangefinding binocular if you haven’t already!

Increased Magnification

Rangefinding binoculars such as our RB1042 binoculars give you increased magnification. Often, you will get better magnification rather than using a generic rangefinder. This can help you on your hunts when you’re posted up and on the lookout for your next target. Being able to see closer up from farther away means less of a chance at scaring an animal away.

Range Farther

Rangefinding binoculars allow you to range farther than traditional rangefinders. Not only that but having a binocular and a rangefinder built into one device means one less piece of equipment you have to bring out onto the field. You can range an animal and its relation to landmarks around it much easier and with a clearer view.

Multiple Modes

Most rangefinding binoculars have multiple modes within one device. Our RB1042 and RB0842 binoculars have four different modes. These modes are standard, hunting, rain, and golf. Each different mode ranges a little differently, giving the purpose of the activity you are currently doing. Regular binoculars or rangefinders do not have options such as this.

Helps with Accuracy

Since rangefinding binoculars have increased magnification and longer-ranging capabilities, it allows you to aim more accurately at your target. You will have a better idea of where exactly your target is and how far away it is from you. This can help no matter what your weapon of choice is. Rangefinding binoculars have become increasingly popular with bowhunters as of lately.

There are many benefits to using a binocular with rangefinding capabilities. Are you up to trying one out for yourself?

Introducing Our New Rangefinding Binoculars

X-Vision Optics is continuing to expand our ever-growing product selection with our new lineup of Rangefinding Binoculars.

There are many benefits of rangefinding binoculars, and the RB0842 and RB1042 are here to change the game! Combining the technologies of glassing and rangefinding, you’ll be able to find AND know how far away your target is with one device. Add a rangefinding binocular to your hunting must-haves this season.

Long Distance Ranging

Our RB1042 and RB0842 binoculars provide the distance data needed to get the job done. The RB1042 has 10x magnification for precise readings to your target whether you’re hunting, golfing, or using it for recreational purposes. Additionally, the RB0842 has 8x magnification. These extremely effective binoculars have an angle measurement range of +/- 90 degrees that is accurate within 0.5 degrees.

Multiple Modes

In addition, these rangefinding binoculars offer multiple modes: Standard, Hunt, Golf, and Rain. The standard mode has no icon displayed on the OLED (red-colored) display. The standard mode provides distance and angle measurement. On the other hand, the rain mode is ideal for rainy or foggy days where the target distance is greater than 30 yards, with the horizontal distance (HD) provided. Additionally, the golf mode gives the priority to the near object which is helpful in picking out a flag from objects behind it. If the rangefinder obtains multiple distances, it will display the nearest option. Lastly, the hunt mode gives preference to the further object, ignoring interfering objects like bushes and branches. No matter the mode, you will get precise, line-of-sight ranging distances.

Easy to Use

These compact and lightweight rangefinding binoculars are easy to use with two operating buttons to give you fast and accurate readings. The product includes a protective carrying case, neck strap, lens covers, CR2-3V battery, battery key, and microfiber lens cloth. Moreover, the rangefinding binocular runs on a single, long-lasting CR2-3v Lithium battery. Uniquely, the OLED screen has a simple, clean, easy-to-read display menu for quick and accurate readings. The rangefinding binocular lenses are multilayered, anti-reflective, and come with an anti-scratch glass coating.

Why You Should Use a Rangefinder When Bow Hunting

Bow hunting season is just around the corner. If you’re planning on going bow hunting with some buddies this year, you should bring along a rangefinder. There are many benefits to using a rangefinder such as eliminating distance estimation issues. Along with that, here are three more benefits to using a rangefinder.

Durable & Portable

Rangefinders have an ergonomic design that makes them comfortable and easy to carry around on your hunts. Rangefinders are made of durable material and are somewhat waterproof/fogproof. You can carry them comfortably in one hand or put them in a pocket because of their small design. It’s a no brainer when it comes to bringing along a rangefinder when bow hunting. If it doesn’t take up any extra space—why NOT bring one?

Reduces Inaccurate Shots

If you are an avid bowhunter, then you know that many factors play into a single shot. Whether you are shooting from an angle, the distance to your target, and taking gravity into account all play into whether you will hit your target or not. Rangefinders decrease the chance of having an inaccurate shot. This is because they can accurately range when shooting at an angle. When are you actually shooting from completely level ground?

Fast & Accurate Ranging

Rangefinders provide fast and accurate ranging. As with our X-Vision Optics rangefinders, you simply press a button to get an almost-instant reading on how far away an object is. Additionally, rangefinders are more beneficial than using a spotting scope. This is because you can range and shoot accurately from even greater distances than when using a scope.

As you can see, rangefinders are a great product to use when bow hunting. A missed shot almost always comes from not knowing the correct distance away your target is. So, don’t take the chance of missing any shots when you could use an efficient optic such as a rangefinder.

X Optics: Oregon Ground Squirrel Hunting

Want to learn about different types of hunting from across the United States? Well, looks like today you are in luck, and the focus is all on Oregon! The x optics team is taking a deep dive into some ground squirrel hunting. These types of animals can also be known as “sage rats.” In Oregon, ground squirrel hunting is pretty popular. This season happens from February until July, and then the ground squirrels go back into their burrows. Typically, ground squirrel hunting happens in eastern Oregon.

Do You Need a License?

If you are wanting to partake in this hunting event, all you need is the appropriate hunting license. You don’t need any tags or permits! Most people pursue these animals with rifles.

Why do People Hunt Ground Squirrels?

You may be wondering why people like to hunt ground squirrels. The main reason is because they can actually cause a lot of damage to land. Ground squirrels eat the parts of plants that are seen above ground, and then cover the rest of the crop with mounds of dirt. This destroys crops and farmland. Any burrows in irrigation fields can cause water loss. These are a couple of the many reasons people will take an x optics product (or just simply a rifle) and hunt these animals. For any more information on why people hunt ground squirrels, you can view it here.

What X Optics Could I Use?

Since many hunters pursue sage rats with rifles, a good product to use would be one of our rangefinders, which are coming early this summer. The x optics rangefinder allows you to see how far away your target is, giving you a better idea on where to aim when using your rifle. Of course, when using an x optics rangefinder for an event such as ground squirrel hunting, it would be to range how far away their burrows are if you are going after that instead of a ground squirrel that is running. If you are wanting to go after a moving ground squirrel, our scope would work much better.

Ground Squirrel Hunting is definitely an interesting endeavor. If you’d like to learn more, check out this website here.
