I'm thinking of taking the wife and 4 month old daughter for a day trip up to Flag. this saturday. The problem is I don't know what we can do with such a young little girl. Any suggestions? Scouting/shed hunting is not an option.

YOU ARE NUTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Awesome pics and story, thanks for sharing your adventure with us.

Well after hanging out with a few of you fellow CW.com junkies my wife and I took our baby girl on the Skyride up at Snowbowl. If you guys have never done this I highly reccomend it! What an awesome view of our great state! We stayed at the Snowbowl Lodge which was great. For $100 we got a room, breakfast, and the lift tickets. A cheap weekend adventure. Thanks for reccomending it AZ P&Y!

A great big ATTA BOY to you Lance for putting on A great get-together for us CW.com junkies! It was great getting to meet a few of you guys and your families. A big thankyou to Younghunter's family for letting my little one hide out in your trailer!!! I can't wait to meet more of you guys.

Well it looks like my wife, daughter and I will be able to make it. We won't be there until Sat. morning some time so don't everybody leave too early. It sounds like there will be a group camping out and another group coming up Sat.

Well now I feel dumb. I've been reading about the CW. get together for a while on here but I didn't realize it was this weekend. Thanks for your replies!!! I was going to meet a client for lunch just to chat but he couldn't make it so now I'm looking for things to do but it looks like I know what to do now. YOU GUYS ROCK! Jason

It's about time! Welcome back Ernesto.

Rangefinders and binoculars in 1! What's not to love? How's your finger? You got to be careful playing with knives.

I think you may have had one to many beers! Only 1/3 of the people who put 37b as their 1st choice will draw the tag so you don't stand a chance of drawing it as your 3rd choice. I'm not trying to ruffle your feathers, just trying to help you out. I think if those are your choices you won't have a tag this year depending on your 4th and 5th of course.

Hey Jim, those are some awesome pics and some good looking dogs. I wish I could have been there!

aahh... Oak Creek Canyon! Nice pics, thanks for sharing.

Where did you find the feeder?

Farm fed or not that's just insane!

Sold, pm sent.

It would never happen because game and fish would lose revenue.

Thanks DB that worked! Great footage, looks like an awesome video!

I've never been able to view any video's from you-tube. It just takes me to a page where people are rating the video.

OK I guess I'll be the first dummy to ask the question since no else is. Once you click on the link how do you watch the video? I know I'm not the only person who doesn't know.

I just re-read my 1st post and your right, what I said about exit pupils makes no sense????

Wow, great reply Jim. I knew what exit pupil meant I just couldn't remember the proper name for the front lens. You are correct, the exit pupil is obviously much bigger on the Tripler. I didn't think to check the objective lenses but I'm glad you did. I am still curious if a larger front lens would make for a more comfortable view through the Tripler but now I know it wouldn't be any brighter. So I guess the only real comlaint is the clamp having multiple parts. ( Not really that big of a deal. ) Thanks for the reply Jim, you really answered my question well. It took me a while to see the point of your reply cuz I was checkin out yer wife so tell her thanks for her help too!!!

Hey Jim, great review and thanks again for letting me and Lillie tag along. Just so everybody knows you've all been waiting on me for this review and not Jim. He's been on me every week about this and I kept telling him maybe next week so blame me for the delay. Thankyou Jim White for making an exceptional product and getting that spacer made and delivered on short notice. Thankyou to you as well Amanda for letting us do this review and thanks for your patience. I will just echo what Jim said because he pretty much summed it up. The good, The Jim White Tripler is the most versitile spotter on the market! Like Jim said you can't compare it to spotting scopes that cost 5 times what you'll pay for the Tripler, however I did compare it to a cheaper spotting scope and the Tripler won hands down. I have never carried one of the big expensive spotting scopes because I have never found a use for them. I have always told myself if I can't tell he's a shooter through my 15's then he probably ain't. There's been a few bucks over the years that I just wasn't sure about so I would hike over and try to get a closer look. Some I killed and some got away. On Jim and I's hunt last year we spotted 3 bucks getting ready to crest over a ridge just over a mile away. Two of them looked like shooters but there was no time to set up a spotting scope or even the doubler on Jim's Swaro's. If we'd of had the Tripler we would have got the look we needed at those bucks. We hiked over there but never saw them again. I like the fact that if your set up next to someone you can pass the Tripler back and forth without moving your bino's off target. The Tripler beat out the Doubler not only because it was quicker and more versitile but it also provided the detail that the Doubler could not. Having that cross out there turned out to be the difference maker in our review. The drip that Jim spoke of really made it easy to give the Tripler the victory over the Doubler. The bad, The Doubler is obviously much brighter and provides better looking image than the Tripler. That's no surprise since there is a big magnification difference. However, I did notice that the front lens on the Doubler was much larger than the Tripler's front lens. The exit pupil is huge on the Doubler and causes almost no eye strain. The front lens on the Tripler is more like what you'd find on a pair of 8x32 bino's. The exit pupil is small and eye strain is noticable. I would love to see a larger front lens on the Tripler. If you could take a picture of both lenses and post them on here to better illustrate this Jim I'd appreciate it. The only other complaint I have is on the clamp. I would like to see the clamp not require the spacer just to eliminate more parts. Like Jim said it works much better with the spacer. If there is a way for you to modify these two things Jim (White) then your pruduct would be perfect in my eyes but make no mistake I am very pleased and will be ordering one for myself very soon.

Casey, Just remember my motto when ever you find yourself in a situation like this. ''BUY WHAT YOU WANT THE FIRST TIME, IT'S ALWAYS CHEAPER!'' I know what it feels like to worry about a few hundred bucks but I have found that when I do spend the extra cash I never regret it. I believe since both of these deals are so close in price you should buy the pair that you truly believe are the better pair. Two years from now you'll never pull your binos out and say '' dang, I wished I'd bought the Leica's and saved a few bucks!'' If you think the Leica's are better then buy 'em but not because their a little cheaper.

Hope it's a good one.
