How much magnification do I need?
First, it’s good to think about the ways in which you’ll be using your binoculars. Do you need more detail at theater and sporting events, birdwatching, wildlife viewing, or hunting? Will you use your binoculars to view things close up or far away? Will you be able to prop your arms on [...]
How Important is the Warranty on my Optics Purchase?
Your optics purchase is an investment, so it makes sense to know the manufacturer’s warranty before you lay down your hard-earned money on that binocular or spotting scope. The warranty may be as important as the price!
A typical warranty in the optics industry is a “limited lifetime” warranty which covers materials or workmanship, referred [...]
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. This was confirmed on a recent morning when I drove a 3-mile stretch of Town Hall Road, which aligns with a meandering creek in a gentle southern Wisconsin valley.

Monoculars: The Take-Anywhere Optic
Sometimes smaller is better. If you have ever wished for a closer view when binoculars aren’t handy or convenient, a monocular may be just the thing. A monocular is an optical instrument which is technically 1/2 of a binocular. It can be thought of as a low-powered miniature spotting scope, since it is designed to be [...]
Nikon Superior SE Not Extinct—Yet
Nothing like spring days to wake all of us up from our winter doldrums and get us outside searching for migrating and returning bird species. This area of southern Wisconsin has reported the return of Red-winged Blackbirds, Sandhill Cranes, White Pelicans, Eastern Meadowlarks, and American Woodcocks just to name a few. When the birds are [...]
