Going for a scope can involve loads of money or not if you are on a budget, ideally get a waterproof/fog proof/nitrogen purged one with about a 60+mm objective lens and about a 20x eye piece, zoom optional but not really needed as clarity of picture does drop.</p>
Now thats the best/ideal setup
? however if you are in the market for a good/cheap scope do look on ebay there are some great deals available (search for spotting scope in all of ebay), looking at spending about ?100 will get you a good clear scope which is rain proof (just don't drop it in the water and it'll suit almost all your needs.</p>
However there is something way more important than a scope, trust me
? spend your money on a GOOD tripod, none of these ?20 lightweight ones which wobble at the slightest of breaths on it, let alone UK wind and rain.? If you have a good tripod which is stable and well built it will make up for a poorer quality scope by giving you a still sight picture, so much easier to see who's arrows are who's when its still.? My last scope cost me loads and I mean loads, but the tripod was almost as much but it was so clear i could see the veins in the wings of a bee at 70m, i put my scope on someones cheap tripod and we could only just see the the bee.</p>
