Kowa Highlander Binoculars-Big Eyes
You have to see these in person to appreciate how big and how good these glasses are.
A buddy of mine just built a home on Lake Pend Oreille in Northern Idaho and was asking for some information on a pair of really nice binoculars that he could mount on a tripod to see what his friends on the other side of the lake were up to. Judging from the distance I told him that he needed a set of field observation glasses like the plane spotters used in WWII. We call them Big Eyes and they are great for glassing up Coues bucks at unbelievable distances.
I did a little research and found something new, the Highlander model from Kowa.
I was talking to Jay Scott just before he went on one of his famous fly fishing trips and he told me that he had just gotten a set of these amazing 32x82 field glasses made by Kowa.
Just a few pages from my article in the current issue of Western Hunter Magazine is one by Chris Denham singing the praises of...the Kowa Highlanders.
I walked into one of my all time favorite places, The Outdoorsmans in Phoenix, a couple days ago and guess what they had set up in the middle of the room, yep, a new set of Kowa Highlanders. The Kowa Highlander Prominar 32x82 observation binoculars to be more precise.
Apparently great minds think alike. I am not going to give you all of the stats on these because to tell you the truth I have not used them in the field yet but if Jay, Chris and The Outdoorsmans are using them you can bet that they are top of the line and that is good enough for me.
They are big, they are expensive and they take a little getting used to but they are beautiful. Check them out.
