Binoculars

Answer 1

Binocular vision is what primates and predatory animals have. Each eye sees a view similar to the other with overlap in the middle, providing 170-degree for each eye. Panoramic vision is what many animals such as rabbits and pigeons have. Each eye sees a different direction and there is no overlap in the view.

Answer 2

Any serious outdoors enthusiast preparing to go afield can greatly enhance their activity by bringing binoculars along. The view of nature binoculars provide to the viewer is nearly impossible to experience without them.

Bird watching is a great example of how binoculars let you get up close to your subject. Imagine trying to get a close look at a rare and exotic bird that also happens to be very shy. You may be able to watch the bird's natural behavior at a distance, but attempt to get close enough for a good look with the naked eye and it is bye-bye birdie.

Going hunting with a modern firearm or bow? Better have binoculars along to identify your game and back stop. Don't think for a second that it's a good idea to raise your rifle up and look through the scope in order to have a better look at things. Remember, if you are negligent enough to do so, you are now aiming your rifle directly at what you are viewing in the scope, whatever it might be. This type of reckless behavior can get you arrested in many states, and far worse, can lead to a tragic accidental shooting.

If you are in the market for binoculars, there are a few things to know and consider first so you can decide on the field glasses that best fit your needs.

Size and weight are two serious considerations to keep in mind when shopping for your new noculars.' Will they easily slide in and out of your fanny pack or cantle bag? Are they so heavy as to become cumbersome on a long hike or while stalking game? Remember, the idea is to always have them on you when afield, so don't choose a pair you won't want to pack along.

Where do you anticipate using the binoculars the most? If you spend the majority of your recreational time in the thick rainforests of the Pacific Northwest where visibility is poor, don't buy twenty power magnification glasses and expect them to work for you. Wide angle lenses would do a better job.

Likewise, if you are out boating a lot, the greater magnification in your binoculars might serve you better.

Read reviews on binoculars and understand the pros and cons. Then head down to the outfitting store to look the binoculars over and ask the right questions.
