 Great for Fita archery May 12, 2007

I purchased this scope specificly for Fita archery and at 90 meters and 15 power I can see my arrows very clearly on the target. Testing it side by side with another brand the Alpen let in more light which is a real plus.
Excellent value February 27, 2008

I purchased this for fita archery too, but also use it for stargazing. The image gets a little dark past 30x and color isn't as great, but at 15x on a bright sunny day the image can be too bright. I can see through it clearly with sunglasses on, so you don't have to stick your eye right on the eyepiece, this may be why I think that it starts to get dark past 30x, probably still bright without sunglasses on past 30x. Can focus to as close as twenty feet. Great scope for the money.

I spent over an hour at a local sporting goods retailer looking through different priced scopes, from inexpensive sub-$100 models on up. After trying several, it came down to this Alpen 728 and a Nikon Prostaff for $150 more. The image clarity, color and sharpness edge-to-edge were indistingishable between the two. The Prostaff with its 65mm objective (vs. 60 on the Alpen) was ever so slightly brighter at full magnification, but certainly not $150 brighter. (It took me several back and forth comparisons, looking at some dimly lit boxes in the back of the store to finally see the difference.)
I ordered it online, saving quite a bit, and when I got it home tested it in full daylight and in overcast conditions. Even on full magnification it had plenty of light to see what I was looking at. (Every 60mm objective scope is going to be dimmer at 45X, but at 30x in dim light it works great.) The zoom is nice and stiff, so it stays where you put it. The focus has enough range so that I can focus with or without my glasses. The fold-down eyecup gives me plenty of eye relief with glasses. It's got the same fully-multicoated, fogproof, waterproof, nitrogen filled specs as my Alpen binoculars (which I've owned for 2 years), and it's very solidly built. The little tripod that comes with it provides plenty of stability. The nylon case is fine, but a little bulky for my taste.
This is an outstanding buy for the price. I bought it for 200 yard target shooting and spotting game, but this scope may get me into birding and wildlife watching!

I purchased this spotting scope for my son to use for target shooting in 4H. We havn't had the opertunity to use it for that but we have been using it for watching Deer and other wildlife. It is working great, it may not gather as much light and be as bright as some much more expensive scopes but it is well worth the price paid and should work great for target shooting.

I got this for my husband and he loves it. We live in the mountains and he is able to spot animals at a pretty far distance.
