After purchasing a bow, the next item on a hunter’s list will probably be sights. There are a lot of different options available for the hunter and it’s important to understand what they’re used for, how they work, and the best option for each type of hunting.The first thing to consider when buying a sight is how you will be using your bow. If you plan only to target shoot, scopes have greater accuracy and will probably be the better option. If you only plan to hunt game though, there is little need for a scope at all. Another variable to consider when choosing sights is the location of your hunt. Will you be hunting from a blind? Up high from a tree stand? Or from a moving vehicle such as a boat? Make sure to do your research to find what type of sight will fit your situation best.

OK, you’ve decided you absolutely love bird watching and need to buy new binoculars for your new found hobby. How did this happen? Maybe you were invited to join a friend on an all-day field trip and came back just knowing this was a hobby for you as well.  Or maybe you started dabbling with some back yard birding on your own with a $25 pair of old compacts and gradually became hooked over time. In either case, your enthusiasm and exuberance get the better of you and say “If I’m going to do this right, I need to go get myself a REAL pair of binoculars”.  You then do some research and find that the best birding binoculars are priced at $500. Some are even priced at $1,000 and higher. Uh-oh.

Don’t get me wrong, you still need to learn the many technical attributes and features of binoculars first. These items alone can create stress for first time buyers. Magnification, Field of View, Close Distance, etc. There’s enough information available to get frustrated over, trust me. Take your time with the research, and you will be able to narrow your choices just fine.  But the REAL stress comes from asking yourself: “How much should I spend”?

How to choose binoculars for astronomy?

Addison asked:

I dont want to use a telescope right now , i want to use binoculars.

Reply:

Biggest objective lenses possible. 80mm +, if you can afford them.

If you go for biguns, they need to be mounted. I have seen a contraption you can buy where the support fits against your chest.

The Japanese make a huge pair 25×150, that are on a great mounting. very expensive, but I would get these before telescope any day – these are what amateurs discover comets with (and then you get your name attached to it).
