Monocular vs Binocular: What Are The Differences And What Should You Go For?

Monocular vs Binocular: What Are The Differences And What Should You Go For?

If you’ve ever wondered what the difference between monoculars and binoculars, then the clue is in the name. Mono, in scientific terms, means one, while bi means two.

Monoculars are built for one eye, and binoculars are built for two eyes. You may well be more familiar with binoculars as they are often more commonly used than monoculars.

In this article, we’ll explore the differences between the two and explore when you should use either monoculars or binoculars.

Monocular vs Binocular: Facts You Need to Know

Both monoculars and binoculars are compact and easy to carry, no matter if you’re going out camping, hiking, or just heading out for a stroll in the countryside.

Both devices easily fit into any daypack and are lightweight and easy to carry. Both tools allow you to get a closer look at any object in the distance and make a great addition to your equipment list, particularly if you’re an outdoor enthusiast.

 

What Are Monoculars?

A monocular is an optical device designed so you can see a faraway object through just one eye. Most monoculars are small in size, which means they can fit in your pocket and are perfect for those moments when you need to spot something far away.

While most monoculars are small, the most commonly known type of monoculars are telescopes. While telescopes are pretty sizeable, most monoculars are small, and some can even fit into the palm of your hand.

 

Pros of Monoculars

One of the greatest benefits of monoculars is how portable and lightweight they are. You can take them anywhere since they are only half the size of binoculars. Also, they are often cheaper to buy but are equipped with the same magnification levels.

Due to how lightweight they are and easy to carry, monoculars are perfect for the avid outdoors enthusiast. Monoculars make it easy to spot and observe wildlife while maintaining a safe distance between the person and the animal. A monocular can also double up as a magnifying glass.

 

Price

Monoculars are an excellent option if you’re looking for an optical device, but you’re on a budget. They are a cheaper alternative to binoculars that can range in price massively. Monoculars are cost-effective, easy to use, and can be taken anywhere.

 

Cons of Monoculars

While monoculars have many benefits, there are also some downsides when comparing them with binoculars. First of all, a monocular can cause eye strain if you’re looking through one for an extended period of time. If you ever feel your eyes getting strained, then consider buying another monocular or switching to a pair of binoculars.

 

Viewing Angle

Monoculars also only allow you a narrow viewing angle when you look through them, while binoculars give you a wider viewing angle due to them needing both eyes to use. With this in mind, if you find that the viewing angle with a monocular is too narrow for your liking, then consider picking up a pair of binoculars.

What Are the Best Activities for Monoculars?

There is a tonne of activities that monoculars are great for, one of these is hiking; monoculars are an excellent tool for being able to scout out hiking routes and trails. Monoculars don’t weigh you down, and can easily fit into your pocket or day pack.

Monoculars are also useful if you’re a fan of bird watching, wildlife watching, or other activities such as astronomy. Depending on how seriously you take an activity will depend on much you’ll want to spend. If you’re really into astronomy, then the most powerful monocular you can buy is a telescope!

 

What Are Binoculars?

While you may not have a solid idea of what monoculars are, you most certainly will have come across binoculars before. A pair of monoculars consists of two monoculars or two small telescopes that are joined together and can be looked through simultaneously.

Often binoculars are lightweight and easy to carry around, but some models can be larger and heavier than others. Binoculars allow for the user to view objects more comfortably than with a singular eye. The perspective and three-dimensional effect of binoculars make for a more enjoyable experience when you’re looking through them.

 

Pros of Binoculars

As mentioned above, most binoculars are lightweight and easy to carry. They are the perfect companion if you’re making a trip into nature or a walk in the great outdoors. Binoculars are great if you’re planning on moving around a lot or being on the move.

You may want to look for a lightweight pair of binoculars if you’re going to be moving a lot and taking part in activities that require different locations.

 

Comfort

Binoculars can also be more comfortable than monoculars. Your eyes will also not suffer as much fatigue as they may if you use a monocular due to both eyes being used and not just one.

While most of the time, Binoculars are larger than monoculars, they can still easily fit in a daypack, or often you can wear binoculars around your neck. Binoculars also allow for a broader scope of view than monoculars.

 

Reliability

If you take care of your binoculars, they will last a long time. It’s not uncommon for a pair of binoculars to last for years should you take care of them sufficiently. If you get a few years of service out of your binoculars, then your pair will also have provided value for money.

 

Cons of Binoculars

Binoculars can be fairly expensive. Prices for a pair of binoculars can range depending on the quality of the pair you decide to go for. If your budget is tight, then a monocular may be a better option to go for.

 

Weight

There are some surprisingly heavy pairs of binoculars available on the market. Make sure when you’re looking for a pair of binoculars that you consider their weight. If you’re going to be using them regularly, then make sure that the binoculars you decide to buy are lightweight.

 

What Are the Best Activities for Binoculars?

Binoculars are great if you’re going to be undertaking more stationary activities. If you’re a hunter, a bird watcher, or heading to a sports game. Binoculars are fantastic if you’re going to be looking at a particular item or area for a prolonged period.

binocular vs monocular

 

Binocular vs Monocular Conclusion: Which Is Best For You?

In all honesty, you should be fine with either option. Your decision can also depend on what you will be using either monoculars or binoculars for. If you’re going hiking, then a monocular is a better option

When you’re hiking, you’ll likely be on the move and moving swiftly, and you may have to get your monocular out at short notice, monoculars are small in size and lightweight, so they are easy to use at short notice.

Binoculars can be useful if you’re taking part in an activity such as birdwatching or any activity where you’ll be stationary. Binoculars are also a great option or hunters. Hunting requires you to be in a stationary spot for long periods of time, scouting and watching an area and binoculars are perfect for this.

Whatever you decide to choose, consider what you’ll be using either a monocular or binoculars for. When you know this,  it will be time to think about your budget and the quality of the equipment you’re after. If you’re going to be taking part in a wide variety of activities, then you may want to pick up a monocular and a pair of binoculars.

When you’re out hunting, you don’t want to carry your arrows on your hands now, do you? To make life easier in such endeavours, our human ancestors came up with quivers and we’re still using them!

While in the past, quivers were pretty basic, nowadays that is not the case. There are different types of quivers, each having different features from different brands and different prices. In such a huge market, pinpointing exactly what product is the best on which category is kind of a hectic task.

To make things easier for you, we are bringing you the list of Best Quivers for Hunting that you can use in your daily life.

[amazon link=”B00GGPGFLG” title =”Trophy Ridge Lite-1 5 Arrow Quiver”]

We chose the trophy ridge Lite 1 arrow quiver as the top choice because of a few things. The first is it’s build quality that we found to be pretty great overall, And the next great thing about it was the fact that it comes with mechanical broadheads.

The quivers have good retention because of which all the arrows are stored in a great fashion. In addition, this bow quiver also has a customizable-mounting bracket which will be an instant buy for many people.

[amazon box=”B00GGPGFLG”]

If you’re not trying to put out the best materials then, why package it as a feature? That’s what the Trophy Ridge lite does wrong. The LEDs were not needed but its there but does it work? No! So, why even put it there?

Well, We found it to be a real marketing gimmick. Aside from that, the actual job that the quiver does is very good, there is complain here. Yeah, the hood is small but it’s completely usable.

 

Features

  • A Ballistix copolymer construction for great build quality
  • Three bright green LEDs are provided that can light up when you need it
  • Braided Hanging Ropes are kept there for bow or the detached quiver

Pros & Cons

What we really like

The actual build of the quiver is very good, the copolymer material makes it sturdy.

Each arrow is held by the quiver with two compression points, it makes sure that the arrows don’t slide out.

What we don't like

✗ The hood is small for fixed blade broadheads.

✗ The lights don’t work correctly most of the time which is a very annoying inconvenience.

 

[amazon link=”B004WJ7MHO” title =”Kwikee Kwiver Kompound 6 Arrow Bow Quiver”]

The build along with the warranty has no problem here. But one thing that does have a fair share of problems is that flimsy mounting bracket which we absolutely don’t like. Because of this, the arrows can slip and the whole purpose of the quiver comes into question.

On a positive note, it can hold 6 arrows and when it works fine, the quiver is quite usable. However, if you want to play it safe, maybe look for other alternatives.

[amazon box=”B004WJ7MHO”]

 

Features

  • The quiver can be used in a multiple of ways, it is very comfortable to use and it weighs only 9 pounds. It can be detached with ease.

The quietness of the quiver is appreciated, it is very useful for hunting.

The Warranty is there so, even if the quiver breaks down, you can always get the replacement.

What we don't like

✗ One problem that it has is the mounting bracket which just fees to flimsy.

✗ The arrows could slip from the screws most of the times.

 

[amazon link=”B00OPCJAMI” title =”Trophy Ridge 5 Spot Arrow Quiver”]

The Trophy Ridge 5 spot Arrow quiver is one of the best quivers available. The thing that makes it a great quiver is the lightweight form factor and the affordable pricing options. The design of the quiver is impressive too, it is that one area which separates it from the bunch.

Speaking about the letdowns, we found the retaining portion of the quiver to be of a bit large shape. It can pose some difficulty to quite a few people but it’s not really a serious thing.

[amazon box=”B00OPCJAMI”]

 

Features

  • An adjustable two arrow grippers are present in the quiver
  • A self-touch hood design will keep the quiver quiet
  • There is a quick detach mounting bracket present in the quiver
  • A hanging loop is present here that can easily hang on a tree
  • The design of the whole quiver is pretty lightweight as well

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

Perfect 5 bolt quiver for lightweight hunters who don’t want to add much weight to the already heavy crossbow.

Total value for money, very affordable pricing.

What we don't like

✗ The retaining portion of the quiver is a bit large for skinny arrows so, it can be a bit hard to get your crossbow bolts into the rubber retainer.

 

[amazon link=”B010C4W416″ title =”LimbSaver Silent Quiver”]

If weight is really a big problem for you then you shouldn’t go for this quiver. But if you don’t mind a bit more weight then, yes, you can get this quiver with your eyes closed. It comes with an impressive array of features, out of which, the NOVCOM noise dampening technology is the best one.

Pros & Cons

What we really like

NOVCOM Technology does work here, the quiver is so quiet that it is perfect for hunting.

The design of the quiver is something that we couldn’t help but admire.

What we don't like

✗ Despite being marketed as a lightweight, you can feel some weight when you shoot your bow with the quiver on.

 

[amazon link=”B00BBXJGDC” title =”TRUGLO Tuff-Loc 4-Arrow Quiver”]

If you do use fixed blade arrows then, please don’t waste your time reading this. Otherwise, You’re in the right place. This quiver is for anyone who wants to have a very lightweight quiver with themselves.

It features a sturdy build and a noise cancelling mechanism that works fine. It works fine with crossbows and most of the arrow type is supported by the quiver.

[amazon box=”B00BBXJGDC”]

 

Features

  • Most crossbows are supported by the quiver, works best with compound bows.

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

We really lived the arrow holding system of the quiver, the arrows are held pretty tight here, there is no foam present in the end which is a great thing as well.

There are holes in the quiver where you can put mechanical tips to hold the tips steadily. The construction is pretty sturdy as well.

What we don't like

✗ We tried the quiver with the fixed blade arrows and sadly that doesn’t work here.

 

[amazon link=”B01C4HMQ8A” title =”Apex Gear Reactor LTE 5 Arrow Quiver”]

While the missing loop here isn’t something that will affect many people, some people will get really triggered by it. If it doesn’t make a difference to you then you can surely go for it without any overthinking.

The features of the Apex Gear Reactor really outweigh the cons. Not only does it have good quiver space and great mounting, but it also supports arrow shafts of all sizes which makes it an instant sell.

[amazon box=”B01C4HMQ8A”]

 

Features

  • The quiver can hold up to 5 arrows without any hassle
  • The Arrow removal is pretty quick and very quiet here
  • The Quiver has a height adjoined states table mounting bracket
  • Every kind of arrow shaft diameters can be fit in this quiver

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

The whole build quality is pretty solid as well, we didn’t notice ant significant weakness in the build.

What we don't like

✗ We would have really liked a loop to hand it when you detach it from the bow. Sadly, this feature is missing.

 

[amazon link=”B07YWT623G” title =”G4Free Archery Back Arrow Quiver”]

We chose G4Free Archery because of a few reasons. First is the arrow capacity which is 30, the second is that the quiver can hold an arrow of any length. In addition, there are pockets in the quiver which can be helpful for some.

Also, the quiver can be used with both hands and it is an ideal choice for both the left and right-hand use. It can also be used for shooting, hunting and also target practice.

[amazon box=”B07YWT623G”]

One of the only gripes that come with this quiver is that flimsy plastic chest strap. But we think, the price kind of justifies it. Still, it’s a letdown. Another minor drawback here is the rigidity of the quiver that we talked about earlier.

This just makes it a hard sell. On to the pros, the G4 Free archer is a really affordable quiver with the strong build quality and impressive design. It does most part of its job pretty decently, it can hold 30 arrows and the weight is light too. All of these make it an instant sell.

 

Features

  • The Quiver is made of Canvas which is a very durable material
  • The length is approximately 21.7 inch and there is a 3 point carry system. The whole Quiver is pretty lightweight and comfortable. It can hold a massive 30 arrows.
  • The quiver is easy to carry and take off. The quiver can also accommodate arrow of any length
  • There are large pockets in the front of the quiver that consist of a really stable zipper. It can hold arm guard, arrow puller and other accessories with ease.
  • The Quiver is suitable for both left and right-hand use. Great for shooting, hunting, target practice and so on.

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

Value for money, affordable pricing.

Adjustable, very sturdy build and we really like the design.

What we don't like

✗ Plastic Chest straps are a bit flimsy, they can fail over time.

✗ The Quiver lacks a bit of rigidity and it can be witnessed here, the quiver folds and loses its form for the most part. It will probably bend on your back and make it difficult for you to put back.

 

[amazon link=”B06XX7FCF4″ title =”TOPARCHERY Traditional Shoulder Back Quiver”]

Suitable for hunting, the aesthetics of the TOPARCHERY Shoulder back quiver does make up for a noticeable bad build. It isn’t that bad but you can notice it fall after a while. But considering the price, that kind of is expected we guess.

But yeah, this quiver does have it’s a fair share of pros and it can serve good for a lot of people. We really loved the fact that it can be used by both hands and the actual interior space is a big pro as well.

[amazon box=”B06XX7FCF4″]

 

Features

  • There is a larger accessory pocket made out of cow leather.
  • The height here is 52 cm and there are three points.
  • The brown colour has a traditional vibe to it.
  • The quiver can be used for both left and right hand
  • It is suitable for riding, hunting as well as shooting,
  • The outer layer of the quiver has leather build with the second layer made up of superhard leather. In addition, the inner part of the quiver has good space as well.

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

Affordable and meant for novice archers who are making their first purchase.

Can hold a significant number of arrows

What we don't like

✗ The actual build quality of this device is a bit bad.  The straps, metal rings and the pouch is a bit flimsy.

 

[amazon link=”B072K4537K” title =”XTACER Multi-Function Quiver”]

One of the things that is very impressive about this quiver is the space it has to put all your belongings. In addition, the build quality is genuine as well. There is no significant letdown but we did notice a slight difficulty in putting back the arrows.

As the quiver is designed to hold 24 arrows, finding the right space while putting the arrows back can be a bit tricky. Aside from that, we did not see any problem with this quiver.

[amazon box=”B072K4537K”]

 

Features

  • Total Black design and handy buckles, because of which the quiver is easy to carry
  • The quiver is only meant for usage with the left hand, no right hand is supported.
  • It has an Oxford Cloth construct with 4 tubes and it is durable as well. The diameter of the tube is 29 mm thick.
  • A very durable storage area for the arrows
  • Impressive carrying capacity and looks pretty great as well
  • The design can also fit a takedown bow

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

Perfectly build quiver that never gets in the way when you’re sitting down.

It can fit 24 arrows in addition to spacious rooms for things like bow stringer and glove.

What we don't like

✗ Putting back the arrows back into the quiver is a bit difficult mainly because of the design choice.

 

[amazon link=”B073PX18M9″ title =”PELLOR Oxford Hunting Archery Quiver”]

A reasonably priced quiver with features that are very good. Aside from the annoying straps, the rest of the design works fine. It supports an ample number of arrows and costs pretty less as well. All of which makes it a really great choice for the archers.

[amazon box=”B073PX18M9″]

 

Features

  • The quiver has 3 different tubes with 2 pockets, the organization of the arrows is very impressive. The whole design is waterproof as well.
  • The package includes a hunting quiver and an adjustable strap.
  • There is a belt loop that can be adjusted quickly.
  • The quiver is pretty well designed.
  • It can support both young and adult archers.

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

Decent build quality, plenty of space and the adjustable straps are some of the best qualities of the quiver.

We also found it to be exceptional in the pricing department.

What we don't like

✗ The straps need constant adjustments which we found to be very annoying at times.

 

[amazon link=”B079GHR4SW” title =”KRATARC Archery Back Arrows Quiver”]

Although the company behind Kratarac Archery claims reinforced design which is durable, that isn’t really a case here. One of the main problems that we have with this product is the build itself. Not really impressed with it.

The adjustable straps are pretty good and space is okay as well. But at this price point, it is better to consider some other products.

[amazon box=”B079GHR4SW”]

 

Features

  • The Kratarac Archery back has a length of  21 inches and it comes with an adjustable strap that will fit you fine and this also makes it convenient to carry.
  • The polyester fabric is reinforced and the whole build is firm and durable.
  • There is a Molle System Design that contributes to attaching more items to the build.
  • There are large storage pockets here with quality zippers too.
  • The quiver is perfect for occasions such as shooting, hunting and target practice.
  • A quiver and a tactical patch is available with the purchase.

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

✔ Adjustable straps are always welcomed, the quiver is very great for hunting.

What we don't like

✗ A flimsy build quality that isn’t as marketed

 

[amazon link=”B071GBJMGJ” title =”Krayney Multi-Function 4-Tubes Back Arrow Quiver”]

Imagine yourself hunting a dear and the dear gets away because the freaking zippers won’t stop clanking. Well, that’s what you’re going to face with this quiver. We know, it’s a bummer, right?

Apart from this small but major drawback, there aren’t any. This letdown is even more disappointing because of how great other aspects of this quiver are.

[amazon box=”B071GBJMGJ”]

 

Features

  • Impressive design that can house a recurve bow and the arrows, this makes it a “multi-function” quiver that is easy to use
  • You get high-grade material which is a 600D oxford fabric zippers, the quiver is waterproof as well and the material makes it pretty durable
  • The quiver has 4 arrow tubes where you can place plenty of arrows and there are fixed points here as well.
  • The quiver in total has 2 packers and 1 main storage zipped pocket, 1 recurve bow storage pocket and 4 arrow tubes that stores the arrows.

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

The build quality is impressive here, we love the fact that it can handle so much force and weight

It held a takedown bow, some arrows and all accessories with ease

What we don't like

✗ Clanking Zippers make the quiver a bit loud which can be a problem when you’re hunting.

 

[amazon link=”B00IE7PX30″ title =”Best Hip Quiver For Hunting: The Easton Flipside 4-Tube Hip Quiver”]

We chose the Easton Flipside 4 tube because it is an ambidextrous quiver that comes with a clean design. While the design itself is a bit vague to judge, we can say that everyone will like the simplicity of it.

In addition, the quiver can hold your arrows with ease and it also comes with an integrated bow square slot which is a huge bonus. All of these features make it one of the best hip quiver that you can get for the money.

[amazon box=”B00IE7PX30″]

Not everyone looks for build and value, a lot of people also judge a product based on the design and a lot of people will find the black colour scheme not really eye-catching.

There was a divide in our own group as some of us found the colour pretty solid while others disagreed. Apart from this design choice, other aspects of the Easton Flipside 4 is actually pretty great.

 

Features

  • A reversible hook and loop pocket is available on the quiver which makes it perfect for both right and left-hand use.
  • The Easton Flipside 4 tube has an arrow separator tube with integrated bow square slot that fits most of the quiver belt.
  • A very dark black design is also provided
  • The quiver fits all sorts of range finders and tools. It also holds the actual arrows pretty well too.

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

✔ Impeccable build and value

What we don't like

✗ The black colour scheme can be a deal breaker for many.

 

[amazon link=”B01L9QWGEG” title =”SAS 3 Tube Archery Target Quiver”]

If you use a crossbow then, this quiver will be difficult for you. You’ve got to wear the quiver on your side because you won’t be able to reach them on your back.

Aside from this minor inconvenience and if you’re not using a crossbow then, there are not many problems that you will face with this quiver.

[amazon box=”B01L9QWGEG”]

 

Features

  • Three 17″ Tubes are available where you can store your arrows.
  • A Reinforced Nylon body is also available here.
  • There are large zippered pockets in the quiver.
  • A compact binocular pocket is also present.
  • Adjustable Waist straps are available too.

 

Pros & Cons

What we really like

Inexpensive but not made cheaply, the build is quite perfect.

The three tubes are ideal for recurve and horse bow arrows.

What we don't like

✗ Not really meant for crossbow arrows

 

[amazon link=”B01N2ZVMXJ” title =”XTACER 3 Tube Hip Quiver “]

There are not many quivers that contain the 900D Oxford cloth construction, the one on this quiver is pretty good. We also like the fact that it can support 46 inches of the waist. The actual arrow holding room is also quite nice here.

The only significant letdown is the tubes that are not fastened into the quiver. Also, We’d have appreciated a large pocket. That being said, the XTACER 3 tube quiver can be a perfect quiver if you overlook the minor cons.

[amazon box=”B01N2ZVMXJ”]

 

Features

  • There are three 17″ Tubes and large pockets with zippers. In addition, a small pocket is there with handy buckles and belts.
  • The quiver is very easy to carry on the waist.

What we don't like

✗ The tubes are not fastened into the quivers.

 

Quivers For Hunting: Different Types

Based on the style of usage and features involved, there are 3 types of quivers. They are explained below.

 

Bow Quivers

A bow quiver is a rather modern invention. It can be attached directly to the limb of the bow. It holds the arrows steady using a clip. Generally, compound bow hunters make use of bow quivers as they have small form factor so, they are easier to carry.

 

Back Quiver

The quivers are attached to the archer’s back via leather straps. The nock end of the arrows is faced upwards so that the archer can take it out when needed. In such quivers, the arrows can be drawn in a rapid fashion and they were commonly used in medieval times.

Ancient America and Medieval Europe made use of such arrows.

 

Bow Quivers

Bow quivers are generally used with compound bows and sometimes, recurve bows. One of the best things about a bow quiver is that the bow is close to the arrows and hence, within reach. Retrieval is very smooth and these quivers can be used for professional hunting.

The reason being that they are silent and easy. Cool, right? But what is the drawback? Well, bow quivers can hold a total of 5 to 6 arrows only. They are also significantly heavier than other quivers so, new hunters usually don’t go for these.

 

Back Quivers

Generally made out of leather, back quivers, as the name suggests, rests on your back. The straps go around your chest and the quiver at your back. You can either reach up and back or downwards to retrieve the arrow.

The arrow removal generally depends on the model of the quiver. One of the main advantages of these kinds of quivers is that they are readily available at affordable price segments, they are pretty easy to use and portable.

The main disadvantage is arrow retrieval/removal. You have to input a good amount of movement for it.  The straps can also be a bit uncomfortable initially.

 

Hip Quivers

Hip Quivers are very famous and there are one or two reasons behind that. The quivers have pockets that help them carry gears. There is an arrow pocket that can be placed in your back pocket and they are great for shooting or roving in the backyard.

Hip quivers are also known as belt quivers because they can be worn on your hip in the form of a belt. They are the smallest and lightest quivers. They are ultra portable and it attaches to your hip. There are hook or belt mechanism.

You can hook the quiver directly to your pants or wear it as a belt format. The advantage, obviously, is less weight and mobility. The disadvantage being the size if it has a belt mechanism. Consider your hip is 48 inches then, a 46-inch quiver won’t fit you!

That can be annoying as hell. So, consider the measurements before buying a hip quiver. Another equally difficult thing is moving with a hip quiver. Many people find it too tasking and just don’t go for hip quivers at all.

 

How to Choose the Best Quivers?

Choosing the best quiver isn’t really an art but it does boild down to some good decision making. Don’t worry though, you don’t have to brainstorm and perform a SWOT analysis for it! There are some factors though, that you need to know before buying a quiver.

Type: You should know what kind of bow/arrow you have first. Then, choose the appropriate kind of quiver that you want. Finally, try to find the product inside your chosen quiver type that can hold your arrows. Simple, yet elegant solution!

Physical Factors: While choosing a quiver, mind these things; the weight, the length/width, the size (if it is a hip quiver) of the quiver. Also, How many arrows can the quiver hold? Do you get anything extra like a pocket, perhaps?

Is the quiver’s interior firm? All of these physical features of the quiver need to be considered before buying one.

Build Quality: We all know how important build quality is. The material of construction, the actual rigidity of the product. Knowing whether the product is waterproof or not, all of it matters in a big way while buying a quiver.

Price: The final thing to consider is the price of the quiver. Compare different products in your chosen quiver type and choose one that best fits your pocket and your needs!

 

FAQ

Q. What kind of quiver should you choose?

Ans. Depends on your preference, your needs and also, the kind of bow you have.

Q. Do you need a quiver that holds a large number of arrows?

Ans. Definitely, You should go with a quiver that can hold a lot of arrows if you’re a newbie and don’t have much confidence on your shot. If you are a very good archer, 6-7 arrows will be enough for you!

Q. Do hip quivers have pockets?

Ans. No, not all of them have pockets, some do have them. You should get the one with pockets if that is crucial to you.

Q. Aren’t bow quivers and back quivers similar?

Ans. Well, not really. Bow Quivers are kind of attached to the bows and are used for compound bows while back quivers are traditional and need to be carried on the back.

Why Do We Need A Spotting Scope Tripod?

A spotting scope tripod is highly essential if you are thinking about looking at a larger distance with better stability. Without a tripod for your spotting scope, you’d not be able to see a clear image at a larger distance, which is entirely the same as using the general scope of your firearm.

But, with a tripod on your spotting scope, you’d find out the vast difference from the situation without it. Your view of the location can be stabilized while using a tripod for your spotting scope. Here are some of the major reasons why a spotting scope tripod can be essential:

  • A spotting scope tripod prevents the movement of your spotting scope, hence creating a clear image of the object.
  • The tripod helps in the stabilization of the image even at a far distance while looking through your spotting scope.
  • A spotting scope tripod also helps in the proper maintenance of the weight of the scope.
  • It can also be useful when you are thinking about recording your overall hunting session.

Tips For Buying The Best Spotting Scope Tripod

Now that you have found out about major features and downsides of the most popular and reliable tripods for a spotting scope, you might want to go to the market to choose the best spotting scope tripod meeting your requirements. There are still some major things you need to look for while choosing the best tripod for spotting scope which we will be talking about below.

 

Tripod Height & Length

hunting tripod for spotting scope

When you are thinking about looking through your spotting scope too far distances, you are likely to require a tripod with a larger height not only to stabilize the view but also make you able to look at the objects at far distances.

Getting a properly-sized tripod is one of the most important things to look for. The major reason behind this is that you will really need a tripod which can be extended up to a larger length/height when you are planning to look at several objects either by sitting or standing.

Another thing you need to look for regarding the height of the tripod is its minimum height when folded up since it is highly essential if you plan to store your tripod covering up less storage space while traveling to different places.

 

Material

Usually, aluminum is used for the manufacture of spotting scope tripods. The tripod legs are usually designed with aluminum, whereas the tripod feet can come up with rubber for better stability with the surface. You can also find tripods made up of carbon fibers, which are lighter than the aluminum-based tripods as well as more stable.

With carbon fiber tripods, you can expect your tripod to produce fewer vibrations while looking through the spotting scope. However, carbon fiber tripods aren’t so durable and affordable as compared to the aluminum ones. Comparatively, carbon fiber tripods are the best choice for better comfort while traveling. However, aluminum tripods must be your top priority while looking for better support to your spotting scope.

 

Tripod Head

You can usually find tripods with 3-way pan heads. But, the number of tripods with 2-way pan heads or ball heads aren’t too less. While looking for the best tripod, you need to look for the one featuring an easy-to-use panhandle making it easier for you to rotate the tripod to the sides as well as the upper and lower regions. The tripod head also needs to move smoothly while rotating it.

 

Quick-release Plate

Quick-release plate refers to the area in the middle of the tripod head and spotting scope which makes it easier for you to use the tripod without attaching or detaching the spotting scope. The size of these plates differs from each other depending on the model of tripods.

It is always the best idea to look for a tripod with a quick-release plate since it makes it easier for you to mount your spotting scope on the tripod efficiently. The only thing you have to do is to slide the plate over the head of the tripod.

 

Final Word

With the completion of our guide on choosing the best spotting scope tripod along with the reviews of the 8 best hunting tripod for spotting scope, you must have been able to determine the major features to look for while choosing a tripod for your spotting scope. Some spotting scopes come up in a package with compatible tripods from the manufacturer itself which is really beneficial for you if you haven’t purchased a spotting scope yet.

You really need to look at the major features of the tripod to find out whether they are suitable for your requirements or not. It is always the best idea to do so rather than just purchasing a package featuring a spotting scope with a suitable tripod. If you have any confusions in your mind regarding anything mentioned in this guide, you can feel free to write down to us in the comments. We’d love to get back to you right away.
