Hunt stories

Hunter calling elk in mountain country

Two weeks glassing the Frank Church

Two weeks glassing the San Juan and my Cronus never fogged, never quit. Found three legal bulls the rest of camp never saw.

Brady H. — Heber City, Utah

Glass used: Cronus 10x42 Binoculars + Ares 20-60x85 Spotting Scope

Mule deer buck standing in open grass country

My first mule deer at 412 yards

First mule deer at 612 yards. The Helos held zero through a brutal truck ride and the glass was clear enough to count tines at last light.

Tessa A. — Billings, Montana

Glass used: Helos 2-12x42 FFP Riflescope

Bighorn sheep country in the high mountains

Twelve days in sheep country

Sheep country punishes cheap gear. Twelve days of scree and sleet and every Capstone piece worked like it was day one.

Aron W. — Cody, Wyoming

Glass used: Ares 2.5-15x42 Riflescope + Midas G2 Rangefinder

More from the field

“Lightest binos I've carried on a still hunt, and the clarity at dawn beats glass twice the price.”

Colton H. — Watford City, ND

Midas G2 8x42 Binoculars

“Judged a ram at 800 yards with the Cronus Tactical and the detail held up. Shipping was fast and the packaging was first class.”

Dave G. — High Rolls, New Mexico

Cronus G2 UHD 7-42x60 Tactical Spotting Scope

“The Talos G2 ranges whitetails through brush without a hiccup. Simple, fast, and it lives in my bino harness now.”

Dustin J. — Velva, ND

Talos G2 Rangefinder

“Tracking on the Ares is dead honest — dialed, shot, confirmed. Support answered my zeroing question the same day.”

Mike S. — Colorado Springs, Colorado

Ares 3-18x50 FFP Riflescope

“Counted points on a buck at first light from 600 yards. My old glass never came close.”

Tyler B. — Missoula, Montana

Cronus G2 UHD 10x42 Binoculars

“Angle compensation on the Midas G2 put my pin exactly where it needed to be on a steep canyon shot. Won't hunt without it.”

Randy S. — Anchorage, Alaska
