Dave A: I wanted to e-mail and express my appreciation for the recent service I received from Vickie Gardner, Nathan Violet, et al. There was a slight problem with one of the binoculars I purchased and it was resolved quickly, courteously, and to my complete satisfaction. I can say without reservation that this type of service is getting more and more rare, and when it is encountered, it is greatly valued.”

Sgt Anthony Treml: On my last deployment to Afghanistan with my Army unit I decided to upgrade my M-16 rifle with some added optics. I chose the Alpen Kodiak 6-24x50 scope. Sure, it may have been a little big for a 5.56 cal rifle but it was guaranteed that I could see anything within 2 miles. I mainly use the scope for spotting purposes of an Infantry unit I was attached to that needed some extended vision for mortar spotting. For a high power scope Alpen makes, in my opinion, one of the most durable scopes for a military soldier. My rifle went everywhere with me in my HEMMT tow truck. The only damage that was sustained to my scope was some scratches and a slight bend in the rear eye relief. I actually did not know about the bend in my scope until I returned state-side and pulled it out of my shipping container. I would like to thank Alpen for making such a durable and reliable scope.

Brandon: “I was the lucky winner of the All Outdoors Radio photo of the month for August and received your Binoculars. I have to say they are the best ones I have every owned. I am so impressed. I have been using them daily to observe wildlife in my backyard. I have also taken them on a few hikes. I have been showing them to all the visitors to my house and will strongly recommend your products to anyone. I wanted to thank you and All Outdoors Radio for this gift. It was a wonderful surprise.”
J. Goodman: “I purchased a 10x42 Shasta Ridge binocular from Alpen Optics and took it with me to Colorado on a hunt. One of my fellow hunters had a Steiner binocular and asked if he could try my Alpen. When he looked through it he said he liked it better than his Steiner. I am really hard to please and I was blown away by your binocular. I would also have told you if I did not like it.”
 Janette Domke: “I live up in the great north woods of Wisconsin. I own a pair of Apex 8x32 and would like to send you some pictures of them. At the end of early season archery last year I accidentally dropped my binoculars in the woods. By the time I realized it, we had a foot of snow on the ground and there was no hope of finding them until spring. I was devastated because I was sure my wonderful binoculars would be ruined. Well, as soon as the snow melted I headed out to look for them last week. I found them finally out in the woods under a lot of dirt and debris. They have been chewed on by the critters. Most of the rubber coating is gone, the lens caps are completely eaten off, and the focus knob and eyepiece rubber is badly chewed, but they still work fine and are as clear as ever (once I got the “who knows what” cleaned off the lenses.) You should see this! It is unbelievable.
 Jeff Hunt: Vickie, Just wanted to say THANK YOU! for your help & support. We had a great deer hunt and I owe most of it to you and Alpen Optics. The new scope was flawless and performed amazing in some very unfavorable conditions. Southern Utah dirt, wind, rain & hail and this buck was taken in the middle of it all. I glassed him up first thing in the morning. With the naked eye all you could see was his dark body and his white face. There was just enough light to be able to tell he was a deer. Once I pulled up on him with my Apex Scope things changed. I could see not only was he a buck but a pretty good buck indeed. As my friends struggled to see how big he was I pulled the trigger knowing good and well he was a good one.
Two looks and two seconds is all it took. Took one look at his rack and then another look at his vitals and it was over. He was 220 yards away in darkest of dawn. On 10X he looked like he was ten feet away and with the amount of light the apex scope was collecting. There was no-doubt this buck just made a big mistake. Like in all hunts several factors play into whether or not you are successful. Optics is one of the biggest, especially in Utah. Glass ranks right up their with the weapon. Your optics has been a huge part of my success throughout the last several years. Several Mule Deer and Elk have succumb to the power of the Alpen Glass. Thank you for sending the replacement scope to me overnight. I truly appreciate your support, friendship and product.
Alpen Optics “how the west was won”
 Bill Karr, Editor, Western Outdoor News, NorCal “WOW!!! Let me tell you, during my 5-day horseback pack trip out of Kennedy Meadows into the Sierra at 10,500 feet near Yosemite, that Alpen Kodiak scope on my new Tikka got snowed on, bumped, anged and dropped enough times so it it actually was scratched and dented a bit after climbing rocky granite ledges and through brush and trees. Yet, when it came time, it was dead on for my 120-yard shot on a 300-pound black bear. I have owned many different types of scopes in the past, but from now on, it's Alpen only! There is no scope I know of that wouldn't have been knocked out of wack by all it went through. Congratulations on outstanding optics! Now, I only use Alpen scopes and binoculars.”
Craig B: “I just received the Alpen 788 Kit I ordered earlier this week. Wow! I am impressed. I couldn’t wait to get to the range, so I set up my tripod in my back yard and began looking at far off objects. Even with the slight mirage in the 103 degree heat in Phoenix I was able to count the threads on bolts in street lights a good 300 yards away. 223 holes at 300 yards will be no problem and hits on silhouette targets at 200 meters will be a breeze.” “Thank you for a great product.”
Pat Trimboli :“What a nice surprise I received today from Fed-Ex. I know you said you would repair the Apex binoculars and they would be better than I expected, but I did not imagine they would be that clear and I can’t thank you enough for the kindness and quick response that you returned these to me. I am delighted. I have a friend who has the other kind (Swarovsky) and he is still trying to find something about his that is better than mine. It’s so sweet! “I used the Alpen Apex binoculars November 22 and took the largest buck I have ever taken anywhere in the U.S., let alone Mississippi. The deer was an 8 point, 228 pound buck and will score around 135 Boone and Crockett. Had I not had my Alpen binoculars with me, I never could have made it out in the thicket. I was able to harvest the deer at 62 yards. Without a doubt, you have a loyal follower.”
