Clearly, A Better Gift
Puzzled about gifts this holiday season?

How do I upgrade my binocular?
Once we deepen our interest in using binoculars, it is natural to be curious about something with a tad more optical quality.

How do I properly set the diopter on my binoculars?
Most of today’s binoculars will allow you to separately adjust the focus on one eye (usually the right eye) with a diopter.
What is the field of view in a binocular?
When you look through your binoculars, the widest dimension you can see is known as the field of view.
How do I clean my binoculars?
It’s best not to use your shirt tail or pocket tissue to clean your binocular lenses.
What size binocular do I really need?
Binoculars can be classified as either full-size, mid-size or compact binoculars

What if I wear eyeglasses while using my binoculars?
Most models of binoculars will allow you to view in comfort while wearing eyeglasses or sunglasses.

Optics: The Can’t-Go-Wrong Gift
For me, it’s extra-special to help someone select a young person’s very first pair of binoculars.
How much should I spend on binoculars?
Poor quality binoculars lead to eyestrain, headaches, and are just not much fun to use for any length of time.

My Road To Work
As commutes go, I’ll wager my 20-minute drive to work at Eagle Optics is right up there among the best.
Atlas Optics Intrepid ED 8×42
The gang here at Eagle Optics rolled out the red carpet recently for a shipment of this binocular which had been out of stock for awhile. Why the celebrity treatment, you may ask? Quite simply, we have long known this bin can Stand and Deliver.

What are Porro prism binoculars and roof prism binoculars?
Roof prism, Porro prism, and reverse Porro prism binoculars each use image-erecting prisms to provide correctly oriented images.

Otter Delight
Everything about the visitor was unfamiliar: its gait, its color, its size. I leapt up and grabbed my binoculars.

There are certain products that come our way and make us think, “What did I ever do without this?” Such is the case with the line of flashlights from Surefire.
