2008 Hunts are brought to you by: Click on a logo to visit the sponsor's website                                                 Zeiss         Year after year Zeiss continues to exceed our expectations with their high end quality optics. It amazes us that a product so impressive and so high-end is still offered at a price hunters can afford. Each Zeiss product achieves outstanding brightness even in low light conditions that is made possible by the Zeiss MC Coating that enhances light transmission. Conquest scopes and binoculars are dustproof, waterproof and nitrogen-filled to prevent fogging. Add all that to a lifetime warranty and you can see why we love this line and give credit to Zeiss Products for spotting many of our trophies last season long before they saw us.         We never leave home with out a pair of binoculars strapped around our necks. Their Conquest line of binoculars has provided us with the finest option in optics as we have used them on every hunt you can imagine. Carrying the 8x30 model last season, the compact, light-weight, and rubber coated set came along as a hunting companion for every turkey, deer, bear, moose and predator hunt you can imagine.         Using high-end firearms to pursue many of our big game trophies, we place Zeiss Conquest scopes on every one to ensure the best quality optics for our hunts. The new Rapid Z reticle is a new feature that was incredible to shoot this season giving us the supreme advantage at long range shooting. Multiple horizontal lines with yardage reference numbers indicating distances provide for accurate and easy holdover to rapidly engage targets at any distance within the capability of the scope and rifle being used. In addition to holdover reference points, there are also hold points for windage equating to 5 and 10mph winds along the horizontal axis of the major yardage lines. The precision lines mean no more guessing on how much higher to hold thus giving you every opportunity to harvest your trophy.         For reticle power/calibre calibration, Zeiss offers a free online ballistic calculator - Rapid-Z Calculator. Shooting conditions such as altitude, temperature, and angle of incline can also be factored in for extreme accuracy potential. The images below are screenshots showing the data that can be obtained from using the online ballistic calculator.         Return to 2008 Hunts Page
