    Ear pro recommendation

    I bought a pair of these a few years ago, they have been excellent at the range: https://www.3mdanmark.dk/3M/da_DK/p/d/b00015332/ I also own and use a 10 year old pair of Sordin Supreme Pro X with gel pads. They provide less dampening, but better sound quality, therefore I sue these for...

    Any regret buying an alpha scope?

    While hunting you will be looking through your binoculars or spotting scope for hours each day, but only through the rifle scope for brief moments. For that reason my hunting binocular is the best money can buy, but my hunting rifle scope is a mid-range affair.

    With regards to the super zoom cameras, keep in mind that they perform fine in broad daylight, struggle at dawn and dusk are are no use in low light.
