Swarovski Optik and Wilderness Hunting in New Zealand!

In this fantastic and educational episode we have a visit from our friend Neil Smith who is a Regional Sales Manager for Swarovski Optik. Neil , often known as 'Norm', tells us all about his recent bucket list experience on a hunting trip to New Zealand. Neil then goes on to give us an insight into the company in Austria, explains some of the technical workings of the Swarovski range and how this knowledge may affect your decision when buying a new product. He covers the subjects of objective lens sizes, tube diameters, light transmissions and even how your own eyesight is relevant when making a choice. The comparisons and differences between bird watching and hunting requirements from an optic and discusses the aftersales support the company offers. All of this culminates into an episode full of advice and is not to be missed, especially if you are looking to upgrade or purchase a new model soon.
