 Decent cheap optics, but focus problems are a pain November 10, 2005
26 out of 26 found this review helpful
I bought these for deer hunting a couple of years ago because they were inexpensive, small and had decent magnification. The size and the price were the main draw, and I knew that I would was not buying an excellent set of binoculars. My usual range for viewing is 75 - 150 yards, and these work well in that range. They work well enough in low light conditions, but I'm sure that more expensive models do a much better job.
For my two main needs - spotting animals and then judging the quality of the antlers - they do okay. But, for counting points on antlers I find that I have to brace them against a staionary rest. If I don't, then the involuntary shaking caused by breathing, my heartbeat and muscle movement makes it very difficult to do if I just hold them freehand.
The major detractor with these glasses is the continual need to refocus. In my experience the right lens always has to be refocused whenever I adjust the glasses as a unit. And they seem to get out of focus quite easily whenever I'm just handling them. It's for that reason alone that I am now researching my next purchase of a different set of binos.

I found these Binoculars to be well worth the money & a bargin at that! They are of excellent quality for the money. These are not for weekend bird watchers, short range hunters, shakey handed people, or boaters. They are excellent for long range posted hunters, during legal hunting hours on non running game. If you can't steady these, your not gonna hit what your aiming at anyway. I wear eyeglasses and focusing without use of my glasses excellent. The only improvement would be a stand attachment for use at the range, but this could effect the compactness of this item. P.S Hunt safely & know your back stop!

First, I wished I had checked the reviews before purchasing! I have owned other Bushnell Binoculars, but these are by far the worst I have used. I took an Alaska trip and nearly every time I used the binoculars it was necessary to re-focus both lenses. I would not recommend these at all, there are many better pairs of binoculars on the market for a comparable price.

By far the worst pair of binoculars I have ever used. Appeared to have been assembled with dirt already in the lens. Did not focus well and needed to be constantly refocused. Useless binoculars. Sending them back for refund!

Trying to watch herons in the water at 200-300 yards was a challenge. It was impossible to hold them steady enough. On the other hand they did a great job on ducks and 15 yards...You could count the feathers.... Clearly need good light... Mine went back and I'll probably go to a 10x or maybe a 12x
