Crystal clear and just the right size. I was worried about them being too big and bulky to wear while shooting my bow, that was not the case at all. I've been doing some early glassing and couldn't be happier for the price.

Bottom Line Yes, I would recommend to a friend

I couldn't have been happier that MeatEater sells Vortex Optics. I've been looking to get a set of Vortex Binos and the Diamondback HD 10x42 is exactly what I wanted. Perfect for all of my midwestern hunts from turkey to white tails.

Great value. Works as it should. When I glass over 400 yards, the details are more challenging for my eyes to discern.

Q

I've got the non-HD diamondbacks. How does HD's compare with the non-HD Diamondbacks? I'm wondering if HD makes much of a difference.

Asked by JorDan the BowMan
Verified Reply - NathanThe Vortex Diamondback HD Binoculars contain higher quality glass, coatings, and optical engineering to perform better in nearly all hunting scenarios.
Q

Will the binos with harness work for bow hunting? That is, does the harness get in the way when drawing and shooting a bow?

Asked by Pitterpatt
Verified Reply - LukeThanks for your question! The FHF bino harness should not get in your way when bow hunting. Personally, I use an FHF Pro-M harness with a range finder pouch on the right side, and it doesn't get in the way of my draw at all at any shot angle. Let us know if you have any further questions!
Q

Does this come with a travel case

Asked by New
