A GUIDE TO BUYING HUNTING BINOCULARS[/b]

[/b]
The following are some key points designed to assist you in choosing a pair of hunting binoculars that will best suit your needs.

Durability[/b]
If you intend carrying your binoculars while hunting in thick bush, forests, walking across mountainous or through rough terrain, then it is important to check if they are shockproof or at the very least have a body with a hard rubber shell to protect it. Having a good quality rubber armour and a thick lens will help prevent damage or breakage if they are dropped or knocked accidentally.

Weight [/b]
When buying binoculars make sure they will not be too heavy for you. Carrying a heavy pair of binoculars for long periods of time while trekking with a backpack can slow you down. Choosing binoculars that are compact and lightweight so they can be carried comfortably during hunting expeditions may help you get to your destination a lot quicker.

Weather[/b]
It is important to ensure the binoculars you buy suit the conditions you will be hunting in. For example if hunting in foggy, moist or humid conditions you will need to consider buying a pair of waterproof or fog proof binoculars that will help protect the optics from moisture damage and other problems that could occur.

This device works by using a laser beam. A micro-chip built into the binoculars calculates the exact range of a target and is extremely helpful if you don"™t have a scope and need to know immediately how far away in the distance your target is.

Night vision features[/b]
For night time hunting there are binoculars that are available that have electronics built into the optics that create a phosphorous image of your target. This type of binocular can be expensive although the cost will depend on how sophisticated the optic features are.

Size of Lens[/b]

Having a large lens will mean more light and therefore a better view of your target. Having a wide field of view also means that it is easier to spot things without moving your binoculars which can be useful when watching a horse race or a sportsman running in the distance.
