Binoculars are an indispensable hunting accessory as they help you track your prey at a great distance. To choose a high-quality optical device for hunting, you need to pay close attention to the magnification ratio, the size of the outer lens, weight and dimensions.
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start choosing binoculars for hunting, you need to pay close attention to its dimensions and weight. The hunter, of course, would like to have in his arsenal binoculars, which are light in weight and size. But it should be borne in mind that if the dimensions of the optical device are very small, then this reduces its luminosity. When choosing the size of binoculars, it's best to stick to the middle ground. The body of the model should have a rubberized shell, which provides additional protection in case of falls.
Step 2
All types of binoculars are designated by the lens magnification, for example, 10-42. In this case, the first number indicates the degree of magnification, and the second symbolizes the diameter of the outer lens, and also characterizes the luminosity. Too high magnification with a small lens creates poor visibility in low light, blurred subject. The larger the lens diameter, the more light it can capture and the clearer the object will be. But keep in mind that increasing the diameter affects the weight and dimensions of the binoculars. The optimal ratio of magnification and lens is 8x32 (portable, which can be carried in a pocket) - 10x42 (more overall, suitable for hunting in ambush).
Step 3
Fog, snow and rain can damage your binoculars. Therefore, when choosing an optical device for hunting, you should pay attention to models with protection against moisture (waterproof). Many hunters are faced with the problem of fogging windows, here the main reason is changes in temperature and humidity, wind can also add problems. In high-quality binoculars, the lenses are protected from fogging in advance, nitrogen is pumped into the tubes of the optical device. See also the twilight number of binoculars, which characterizes the image quality in low light. The higher the twilight number, the better.
Step 4
One cannot but mention the price of the optical device. Good hunting binoculars are not cheap. Therefore, you do not need to skimp, it is better to immediately purchase a good and high-quality device. Because when handled correctly, binoculars will last forever.
