Using A Binocular Harness Can Save Your Binoculars From Disaster

By Bart Icles

You're walking through the brush, heading to your deer stand. You see some tracks and bend down to take a closer look, and smack, your binoculars come flying forward and smash through the brush. You quietly curse as you check the lenses to make sure you did not scratch them this time. A standard neck strap does nothing to prevent the wild swinging of your binoculars, if you want to protect your investment you need a binocular harness.

It's not only when we bend over the binoculars come into danger. Every step we take with a neck strap they wave back and forth, seeking out a twig, stick, or other obstruction to get hung up on. Even when we are climbing up into the stand they swing around getting in our way. This is the kind of troubles a binocular harness solves. Your binoculars are held safely against your chest, out of the way, and not swinging around wildly.

If you're like most deer hunters, your Bushnell or Nikon binoculars are an essential part of your day of hunting. You use them for spotting deer as they move through your hunting area. Watching for them to come into range, and into a clear line of sight for a shot. When you're ready to switch to your rifle or bow, the last thing you need is binoculars swinging back into the way. When you lower your binoculars while wearing a binocular harness they are instantly back against your chest, out of the way. Your hands are free to prepare for your shot.

It's not just hand freedom you should be concerned about. With a neck strap those binoculars might just swing and bump something else making noise. As soon as you hear that noise, you can just sit back down and relax, because so did the buck, he is off and running. A binocular harness is going to allow you faster motion with your binoculars, because you know they are not going to start swinging around.

Many hunters find a strap around their neck quickly becomes uncomfortable, especially as the strap slides around with the movement of the binoculars. A binocular harness changes the weight from your neck, onto your shoulders and around your back. You'll be more comfortable for the entire morning hunt.

For the best safety, security, and better hunting, a binocular harness is a great aid in your hunting accessories. - 31499
