Barska is low end glass. I own a pair of single magnification Barskas. I got my $70 worth of use out of them for a couple of years. You won't get more than that out of them. The low end zoom binoculars seem to be simlar to low end spotting scopes. They are usable at the lower magnification, but quickly become useless as you dial up the magnification. If $80 is all you can afford for now. So be it. I hunted four years with a pair of $35 no names from Sam's Club and found them superior to no glass at all. I would make a good set of binoculars a higher priority than another gun, other expensive purchase.
