In your opinion, which would be a better upgrade between these 2 machines from an entry level BH. Limit your opinions and ideas to these 2 machines and not what might be better choices please.
Most of my hunting is currently hitting tot lots and local parks, and the 305 is great for this. It's easy to use, multiple tones, easy to read visual ID, and an exceptionally fast recovery speed.
I find if I try and work a tot lot with my Explorer II, (I know, it's overkill) that my wife out hunts me with her Tesoro simply due to the recovery speed. If I hunt with my 305, I can generally hold my own or sometimes beat her in the clad count.
I can't really compare the F4 cause I've never used one.
