Go to Williamsport on a day a 1000 yd match is taking place. I doubt you will find a single
spotting scope of any variety. But you will find numerous ones that have been paired up in brackets.
You could do it also with a single scope, but try walking around for an hour with one eye closed to get the idea.
Although you would be apt to see a $5000 set of the more expensive scopes, you will also see sets costing
less than $1000. Maybe much less than $1000, and they will all be capable of seeing bullet holes if the conditions are good.
And if they arent good, none will be seeing any bullet holes.
