Sport shop rating: 3 Stars
I bought these for deer hunting a couple of years ago because they were inexpensive, small and had decent magnification. The size and the price were the main draw, and I knew that I would was not buying an excellent set of binoculars. My usual range for viewing is 75 - 150 yards, and these work well in that range. They work well enough in low light conditions, but I'm sure that more expensive models do a much better job.
For my two main needs - spotting animals and then judging the quality of the antlers - they do okay. But, for counting points on antlers I find that I have to brace them against a staionary rest. If I don't, then the involuntary shaking caused by breathing, my heartbeat and muscle movement makes it very difficult to do if I just hold them freehand.
The major detractor with these glasses is the continual need to refocus. In my experience the right lens always has to be refocused whenever I adjust the glasses as a unit. And they seem to get out of focus quite easily whenever I'm just handling them. It's for that reason alone that I am now researching my next purchase of a different set of binos.

These binoculars are good when you can get them in focus. The tension on the 2 parts of the housing that you hold do not have enough tension and they tend to move while you are using them. I would look for another model or brand based on this fact!!!! Once you put them in a position they really should stay that way until you make a change and not move just because you are holding them.Customer Review: Good and Bad

Trying to watch herons in the water at 200-300 yards was a challenge. It was impossible to hold them steady enough. On the other hand they did a great job on ducks and 15 yards...You could count the feathers.... Clearly need good light... Mine went back and I'll probably go to a 10x or maybe a 12x
