RE: Bowhunter looking for new binoculars.
If you are looking for a compact bino I just purchased a Nikon Prostaff 9 x 25 for $120 at Dick's and really like them for bow hunting. They are very clear, waterproof, and light weight. I also have a pair of Pentax 8 x 42 that I purchased several years ago that I rarely take into the woods. They are big and heavy plus they were expensive and I worry about droping them from my tree stand.
