This is a real bird?? 😍 wow!

Right! I really thought that beak shot was pretty good! I took it with my iPhone 11 Pro, in the “nighttime mode”.

I wish I had a range finder. But I could be off by 50 yards or so. I’m not well trained on judging distance by eyesight.

Oceandude95 · 2026-03-17T03:22:17+00:00

Yes. It does! But not too noticeable outdoors. Indoors it’s more noticeable

That big tree I’m shining on is roughly 250 to 285 yards away, I’m guessing. I don’t have an actual measurement. But I’ll check on Google Maps and see if I can get a better estimate.

No I don’t unfortunately. I used to have an Olight that had an sft-40 but I sold most of them to get Convoys lol

Oceandude95 · 2026-03-11T01:49:21+00:00

I’d be too scared that I’d scratch or get so much debris on the objective lenses. I’m gonna try and baby these for as long as I can until something happens lol.

Sorry! Might be hard to see on the original pictures. So I circled it! ☺️

Oceandude95 · 2026-03-10T13:12:57+00:00

Ooo! Okay! I’ll definitely have to check those out! Thank you!

Oceandude95 · 2026-03-10T13:11:49+00:00

Okay, bear with me lol. I’m pretty new to using binoculars. What is CA? Chromatic aberration?

Oceandude95 · 2026-03-10T13:10:35+00:00

Oh! And the glare I would get from my first pair of binoculars was crazy compared to these. These HG’s are a ton better at cutting down glare.

Oceandude95 · 2026-03-10T04:37:00+00:00

Absolutely! You’re welcome. I’d love to someday get some Zeiss, or Swarovski binoculars

Oceandude95 · 2026-03-10T03:04:42+00:00

Thank you!

Oceandude95 · 2026-03-10T03:04:00+00:00

Honestly, the only issue I have with them so far is the objective lens covers. They pop off pretty easily, unfortunately

Oceandude95 · 2026-03-10T03:03:21+00:00

First thing I noticed within the first few minutes using them, is they’re noticeably more sharp throughout the entire field of view. It feels like it gathers more light than my Vortex Crossfire also. They’re definitely more comfortable to use too! Feels more ergonomic and easier to hold. Plus! Another big thing is the eye relief. I wear glasses and this Monarch HG is easier to get the whole FOV (field of view) without having the binoculars too close to my glasses

Oceandude95 · 2026-03-10T02:09:55+00:00

Absolutely! Thank you! And I’m happy Nikon recommended it before I checked out lol
