My two sons are archers in the Junior Olympic Archery Development program. I purchased this monocular to allow me to see the target grouping of the arrows down range. Typically, the distance is about 80 feet. This monocular gives me a clear view from that distance and enables me to score each end.

br /The focuser is operated with two fingers and is very accurate. It makes it easy to share with others and quicky refocus.

don't get too excited about this product. it doesn't even come close to Barska optics, etc. black color only and focus is mechanical, not powered, so u may have trouble getting the thing to focus and stay put. the focus mechanism moves too fast even with holding the thing the way they recommend - using four fingers. i opened it up and saw the cheap prism glued in and the two pins that hold the focus mechanism. u don't want to put any strain on the mechanism and snap off a plastic pin, etc.

GREAT FOR BIRD WATCHING

FAIRLY EASY TO ADJUST, MUCH EASIER THAN BINOCS. SEE A BIRD, GRAB IT AND SEE. THIS WILL FOCUS ON TREES FAR OUT OR AT THE FEEDER. GREAT BUY.

Handsome in all black

This is a great product - bright clear easy to focus. I bought it without knowing much about monoculars and am pleasantly surprised. It's a bit larger than I expected - about the size of a clenched fist. But mine was all black instead of the pictured white/black and very handsome. Looks very well made sturdy. Image is a bit shakey due to one-handed operation, but you can always support it with your second hand.
