Precision is at the heart of ethical hunting, and Swarovski’s EL Range with tracking assistant helps to ensure the most precise shot.
SPONSORED CONTENT Haphazard hunting and shooting is the bane of the existence of the sport as a whole. In order to preserve the historical and beloved sporting lifestyle, hunters must place precision and accuracy at the very forefront of their minds before ever pulling the trigger. With today’s innovative technological advancements, there is little reason for hunters to take a shot in which they don’t feel fully confident. This is especially true with the support of Swarovski’s EL Range rangefinding binoculars with tracking assistant, which makes determining distance, location, target acquisition and game tracking extremely precise and effective.
Making a perfect first shot is easier said than done. Add the low light of dusk or dawn, the adrenaline of spotting your ultimate trophy animal and the exhaustion from hauling heavy gear throughout the trek, and you’ve got a recipe for shaky hands and a less-than-confident trigger pull. By making the decision to rely on gear that enhances low-light vision, provides concrete digital data and combines technologies into a single lightweight, ergonomic device for easy carry, you are taking a major leap toward becoming the utmost ethical hunter.
Even the best hunters and shooters in the world are still human, meaning they are limited when it comes to the ability to see in low light or accurately and exactly measure distances. Though it can be done, it shouldn’t – especially when the technology now exists to support the hunter and alleviate the strain and distractions hunters face in high-stress or low-light shooting situations. The “all-ways precise” EL Range rangefinding binoculars offer perfect edge-to-edge sharpness combined with color fidelity and outstanding detail resolution, fully and seamlessly immersing you in the crucial moments of the hunt that matter most.
Precision isn’t just about taking the shot. Truly precise hunting involves a number of factors to consider long before you pull the trigger, and the EL Range takes each of these into account. By allowing even the most experienced hunters to precisely identify the sex, age, size and health of his quarry at a distance, precisely measure that distance and precisely track the game, these high-definition rangefinding binoculars take risky, potentially dangerous and unethical guesswork out of the hunt. In other words, you can be sure the bullet will land where you intend for it to land.
How does it work? The Swarovski EL Range uses a built-in Bluetooth interface, through which the hunter can feed three different ballistics curves. Download the EL Range with Tracking Assistant Configurator App, configure the ballistics within the app and enjoy the thrill of the hunt while the technology does the “think” work for you. The range measurement of the EL Range with Tracking Assistant is based on a travel time measurement using a laser. The range can be measured between 10.9 yards (10 meters) and 2200 yards (2000 meters).
Once the ballistic data is entered into the app, you can choose to have the EL Range with Tracking Assistant send back data letting the user know elevation corrections in the rifle scope in MOA, MRAD or clicks. The EL Range automatically measures angle, temperature and air pressure in calculating the corrections. Along with the adjusted shooting distance, it also gives you the number of clicks needed for your rifle scope, further ensuring a precise shot.
Finally, the featured Tracking Assistant helps the hunter identify the target area by measuring back to the point where the last shot was fired. This can be done either through the binoculars themselves or in the Tracking Assistant app.
Above all, the best rangefinding binoculars are designed with the hunter in mind. What good is top-of-the-line technology if it is uncomfortable to hold for long durations or is a nuisance to carry across steep, rocky mountain climbs? Comfort and ease of use is just another way the EL Range supports precise shooting, as it is much more difficult to shoot accurately when you are fiddling with gear or aching from having to hold your optics for a prolonged period. The ergonomic shape of the EL Range provides maximum comfort and easy handling. Hunters also have the option of adding the adjustable forehead rest, which uses a stable three-point support for extra stability when observing for long periods of time.
From measuring distances and ballistics to tracking game and ensuring comfort for the user, the EL Range is “all-ways” precise…and precise shooting is the epitome of what defines ethical hunting.
