I switched from montec g5 to slicks this year, I lost a deer last year with a 20 yard shot and a g5, so far so good, 2 deer down and still working on my antelope....

Both deer I have killed have been on the ground this year, I definately prefer sitting/laying at eye level with my prey. One was a spot/stalk doe, other a sit-n-wait nice 4x5 buck.

I have breathed on my varizone a couple times now, talk about frusterating whe you want to take a shot and your scope is all blurry, at first I couldnt figure out what the problem was but now Im extra careful about it.
