A Binocular Harness Strap For The Avid Or Casual Hunter

By Bart Icles

Hunting is not a an activity where you sit around all day waiting. You check out tracks on the ground. You look over hills and brush looking for your game. If you are deer hunting, you use your binoculars to scan the horizon for signs of movement. When you are duck hunting you search the sky for incoming flocks. You are always bringing your binoculars to your eyes, and putting them down again. Can a binocular harness help with the action?

A binoculars harness helps keep your binoculars in the perfect location for fast viewing. You need the instant access to catch sight of a big buck walking over a hill top, or through the distant trees. Binoculars in a case off to the side do you no good. They need to be ready to grab.

Your bino harness stops the annoying pain in the neck your binoculars neck strap causes. Get the weight down on your shoulders and back where it belongs. With the ability to adjust the straps to fit you perfectly, you'll be comfortable whether you are in the duck blind, in a deer stand, or hiking through a field.

When you are checking out your favorite hunting spots, you are probably up and down, checking dung, footprints, and other signs of activity. When you are using a neckstrap for your binoculars you will also be dealing with moving them out of your way. Have you ever done the old, put them on your back trick, to get the binoculars out of the way. Why not use a binocular harness strap and keep them out of the way? Even when you bend over, they stay close to your body, instead of swinging into your line of sight. The problem with moving binoculars out of your way, is they always swing back with even more force, and face possible damage.

A few things you need to look while shopping for a binocular harness. Make sure it is made from strong materials, is easy to adjustment, and has a good warranty. You don't want a substandard harness for your expensive optics. If you are using a Nikon, make sure to look for a Nikon Prostaff harness strap, one designed to hold your binoculars safely.

When you love hunting, you don't want the ups and downs of your activity to endanger your binoculars. Replacing your neck strap with a binocular harness will give you better ease of use, and more comfort. Your binoculars will as ready for action as you are. - 32194

Do Binocular Harness Owners Need to Buy New Binoculars?

By Bart Icles

What is the biggest fault of owning a binocular harness? You don't need new binoculars every couple years. Here's the way your buddies using only a binoculars neck strap justify their new purchase to their wife.

1. "Honey, You can't wear the binoculars in the tree stand all day. It is uncomfortable and gets in the way. It was an accident, they just fell." Hopefully their wives don't learn about a binocular harness strap. They would know you can comfortably wear your binoculars all day.

2. "Really honey, I forgot they were around my neck when I bent over to grab the duck out of the water." Not a good excuse if you own a binoculars harness. Your binoculars are always up against your chest and will not slip into the water.

3. "I never thought the binoculars would flip off the ATV seat." When you are using an uncomfortable neck strap, you take off your binoculars. With a bino harness, you wear the binoculars from the sunrise, until the hunt is over. Your neck is always comfortable. The binoculars are out of the way, and you are not fighting the swinging binoculars.

4. "You will never believe what happened. I was just walking down the trail when my Nikon binoculars swung to the side crashing through the thorns, the lenses are covered in scratches." When you use a binocular harness you are still stuck with your old binoculars. Your binoculars are still safely tucked against your chest, ready for the day.

5. "Honey, it happened again." By this time your wife is probably getting a bit angry about your damaging binoculars every year. She may even be starting to search for a binocular harness for you.

Your binoculars have helped you spot deer, turkeys, pheasant, and other game. Don't you want to keep your trusted tool intact and enjoy success for a few more years? With a binoculars harness you can use the money you are saving for shells, a new gun, or even an extra hunting trip.

When you're ready to upgrade your binoculars, make it because you want better quality, more features, and longer distance viewing. You've earned it by protecting your binoculars for years. Just make sure to add a new binoculars harness to your purchase, then you can hand down the old binoculars to your child, it is still in great shape. - 32194

Bird Watching is a Pain in the Neck Without a Binocular Harness

By Bart Icles

It is the right season of the year. You know they are migrating through your area. You also know you may be out in the countryside all day trying to spot those elusive migratory birds. As you hike around the area, you realize the sport you love is becoming a real pain in the neck. Your binoculars strap has been rubbing, and pulling on your neck all day long. The trip is still worth it. It is not the fault of the binoculars or your techniques, it all due to the poor design of the strap. Your neck would feel great if you were using a binocular harness.

A binoculars harness takes the weight off your neck and distributes it to your shoulders and back. Parts of your body which were designed to bear weight. The binoculars will no longer be swinging back and forth, since they are being supported efficiently with four points of support. Your hike will be easier and more comfortable with a bino harness.

Many birdwatchers will put the binoculars back in their case when they don't have an immediate need to use them. The biggest threat most times is caused by the strap. It feels insecure because the binoculars are always bumping and swinging around. It is insecure, because it would be easy to swing them into a branch and end up with a scratched or broken lens. Using a binocular harness strap keeps your optics nearly motionless, pulled up against your body. They won't be swinging around and getting bumped.

Something a birdwatcher needs to consider is the motion and sound from swinging binoculars. Birds can be fidgety. They are watching and listening for any signs of a predator. Your swinging binoculars could help signal an escape response, and suddenly your hopes of observation are gone. You can minimize the movement of your Nikon binoculars with a good quality Nikon Prostaff binocular harness. Just adjust the harness properly and you'll have very little extra movement while you position yourself for viewing.

If you extend your birdwatching into photography, your binoculars harness can double as a very effective harness for your camera. It will be held just as securely, with minimal motion. When you are serious about birdwatching you want a harness to make your day more enjoyable and fun. Having your binoculars or camera always ready is going to increase your opportunity for great sightings. - 32194

A Binocular Harness Can Save Your Neck

By Bart Icles

There he was hanging from the tree. The neck strap had caught on a branch as he fell. It snapped his fall to a sudden stop. His body slammed into the tree, swinging from the strap. Whew, good thing "he" is only your $300 Nikon binoculars. It is too bad the binoculars are broken. The good news, it wasn't around your neck. Why did you take them off anyway? Was your neck sore? Were the binoculars in your way again? With a Nikon Prostaff binocular harness, both you and the binoculars would have survived the day.

How many of us have removed our binoculars and either laid them down, or hung them from an outcropping on the tree? Admit it, you have probably done it. A neck strap is not very comfortable. The binoculars get in the way when you lean over to grab your thermos. Once you get frustrated dealing with them, you take them off. When you are wearing a properly adjusted binoculars harness you would just wear the binoculars all day. They would be comfortable. The binoculars would stay out of the way. No need to look for that "safe" hanger for your binoculars.

While you were in the tree, did you see the 10-point buck on the horizon? If you binoculars are hanging from the tree, or sitting on the stand, probably not. If they were hanging on your binocular harness strap you would have quick access, and would have seen the buck.

Using a bino harness is not just about convenience and comfort, it really can be an issue of safety. There is less opportunity to get your strap caught on an obstacle when it is remains safely against your body. With a neck strap you have a loose swinging strap hunting for a place to get caught. Most times the strap just gets in the way, but even that is a safety concern. When you are climbing into a tree stand you do not need anything impeding your climb. The binoculars on a harness are out of the way, and your hands and arms are free for the climb.

You remember how you loved using your binoculars when you first bought them. Then after a few outings you started mumbling about them being a hassle to haul around. You can have the old feeling back when you keep them in the right place, and ready for action. No more binoculars flying from trees, only safe, enjoyable spotting of game on the move. - 32194
