Modern optics includes binoculars, field glasses, telescopes, and monoculars. As the names suggest, binoculars use both eyes, while monoculars use only one eye. Binoculars provide greater depth perception and visual acuity and are the world's most used optical instrument, other than eyeglasses.
There are many different types of binoculars. Hunters need waterproof binoculars with great optics and excellent clarity. For any type of hunting, magnification of 7 to 8 times is plenty. Magnification is the first number in a binocular, like the 8 in 8x42. While it's tempting to go for higher magnification, the higher the magnification the harder it is to steady the instrument. If you expect to be shooting from distances greater than 100 yards, a spotting scope on a tripod is a better choice for your hunting optics than a higher magnification binocular. You can easily find a 48x60 or even a 60x82 spotting scope online.
The second number in a binocular is the objective size, like the 42 in 8x42. For day hunting an objective of 40 or 42 mm is just right. Larger lenses will let you see more at night, but they are larger, heavier, and more expensive The lower the lens size, the lighter the binoculars, but the poorer the performance in low light situations. If keeping the weight down is important to you, a 30 or 32 mm model makes a good compromise between weight and performance.
With the types of binoculars available today, there's no need to take your eyeglasses off. That's good for a hunter, because you don't want to be worrying about your glasses in the excitement of the moment. If you wear glasses, look for a long eye relief binocular, which means it has an eye relief of at least 14 or 15 mm. If you're using a spotting scope you can buy a 22 mm long eye relief for your scope.
Other than the military, no group puts binoculars to rougher use than hunters. That's why it's critical for hunters to buy waterproof optics. Water-resistant, rainproof, or weather-resistant is not good enough. Waterproofing not only keeps the optics dry, it also keeps dirt, dust, and sand out of the instrument.
Speaking of waterproof, if you're a hunter you know the value of a watch that will stand up to the weather. Shopping online makes it easy to compare the specifications on a number of waterproof watches.
There's a huge amount of information about hunting optics on the Internet. It makes it easy to compare. But optics aren't unique; whatever you are looking for-fine jewelry, electronics, fragrances, or sports equipment-you can learn a whole lot from online sources. Shopping online will save you money; but more important, it will help you choose the best product for your needs.
