    I got these for my husband for Christmas and he loves them. He say's they are perfect for hunting. He has used them everyday to see how well they work and is extremely happy with them. He likes that they are light weight, focus really well, and feels as though they are made to be heavy duty.

    Bought to give as gift but was so dissatisfied with the size and product quality I decided to try it for myself. Light and compact is viewed by some as good qualities, myself however I would say small and cheap looking. Very difficult to focus and not very stable.

                I bought these binos for hunting but Havnt gotten to use them in the woods yet but have used them around the yard they are little on the heavy side but are clear with good picture. If your a hunter on a limited budget I would recommend.

                  Comments about Bushnell Explorer Binoculars, 10 x 42 - Black Finish:

                  [...] It's not enough to make me sad. The fact that one gets this much vision in this small equipment is great, they are very easily held still/focused and rival 30x magnification in the ammount of light absorbed by the lenses offering finer detail and mundo easier to hold still what you are peeking at! No internal lense glare like found in more expensive models and the accusition is fluid and brisk. I LIKE A LOT! Not to mention that most SLR MSRP$1000$ lenses won't see like this. The adjustment for a person's vision hold their place firm and the twist out eyelets offer comfort when veiwing in direct sunlight. If I hadn't gotten such a great deal... I'd still be happy.I should note that the soft carring case has a detachable strap and a belt loop, sturdy design. As the eye end cover is one removeable piece that will attach to the strap for the nocs themselves. Veiwing end covers offer some suction and stay attached with light treking. Running and climbing you'd want to keep in a bag. And a little piece of cloth comes with it.
