“I looked at the lion through my Alpen’s.
It was like somebody turned a light on.”
“I was shooting a 3-D tournament when I came across a shot at a mountain
lion in a shaded area. I couldn’t make out the 12 ring so I pulled up a pair of
[brand X] binoculars and couldn’t see much better. Then I looked at the lion
through my Alpen’s. It was like somebody turned a light on!”
