Everyone loves spending time outdoors and one of the best things about it is the different activities that allow you to really get back to nature, whether it’s hunting, hiking, traveling, fishing, bird watching, or even skydiving, there is something for everyone.
Yet, to truly enjoy the great outdoors, you need a quality pair of binoculars to enhance the experience and appreciate the finer details of your surroundings, and we are here to help you choose either the best binoculars for hunting, the best binoculars for hiking or even the best binoculars for travel.
What do Hikers look for in Binoculars?
When it comes to hiking, the main purpose is getting to the top of the mountain, traversing across rugged landscapes and using your resources to select the best route.
We have highlighted 3 main binocular features that hikers should look for in a pair of binoculars:
Field of View – Is expressed as the width of the area you can see out to 1,000 yards. A better field of view means the wider the area you can observe. Hikers benefit from a greater field of view when trying to determine the best route up a mountain or see how far they need to travel.
Objective Lens – Shown as the second number in millimeters on a models name (8×25, 10×28, 8×32, 10×50) The greater the objective lens, the more light enters the binoculars allowing you to see better under darker conditions. If you plan on hiking early mornings or late into the evening, a pair of binoculars with a good objective lens will be advantageous.
Waterproofing and Rubber Coating – Protective features such as waterproofing and rubber coating will ensure the binoculars are kept safe during use in adverse weather conditions.
What do Hunters look for in Binoculars?
Hunting requires more precision and in-depth scrutinizing of the surroundings when compared to other outdoor activities. Hunters need their binoculars to serve multiple purposes and with that they will look for different features:
Magnification Power – The greater the magnification, the closer the image will appear, allowing the user to focus on objects that are further away. Magnification powers vary from 4x, 8x, 10x, to 20x in power.
Technological Features – Added features such as laser range finders, thermal imagery, video recording, bluetooth/wifi capabilities, and image stabilization are all technological features that may benefit hunters.
Eye Relief – This is the ideal distance between the user’s eye and the binocular lens. Eye relief on most binoculars varies between 10 – 20mm. Eye relief is important because too close to the lens and shadows occur in the vision, while too far and the image is not clearly seen.
Lens Coating – The true quality and performance of any optics lie in the lens coating. Lens coating effectively controls the amount and quality of light that passes through the binoculars, while also protecting the lens against scratches and smearing.
What do Travelers look for in Binoculars?
Size matters when it comes to traveling, and especially for those who prefer to backpack the last thing they would want is to lug around any additional weight. While smaller binoculars benefit from taking up minimal space, that reduction in size often means cutting back on other features.
So, travelers will need to consider the following features of binoculars when making their choice:
Dimensions and Weight – A binoculars weight and dimensions are linked to their magnification power, prism type, and additional features. The larger the magnification and more features the heavier and more robust the optics.
Objective Lens – Travelers may opt for a smaller objective lens because the majority of their usage would be during daylight hours and having a smaller objective lens would also mean tighter dimensions on the binoculars.
Prism Types – There are two main types of Prism designs in binoculars: Porro and Roof Prism. The type of prism refers to the optical system within the binoculars that rectifies an inverted image projected by the objective lens. The prism type will also affect the shape and size of the binoculars.

Who are these binoculars best for?
Travelers: 8 out of 10
The BinoX 4K 4-16X binoculars are perfectly suited for those adventurers who enjoy stretching their legs and are willing to explore a little more into the unknown than they usually would.
The range in magnification from 4-16X is ample while providing them with the option to record any exciting experiences in full 4K and then send it back to their smartphone device to share it with fellow travelers.
What’s exploration without pushing the boundaries a little? That may mean getting caught out in the dark every now and then, but with BinoX’s night vision mode and internal IR illuminator, consider those times as part of the adventure.
Sure, some of the additional features that ATN have included such as the 1,000 yard laser rangefinder or BIX (Ballistic Information Exchange) technology may seem unnecessary for the average traveler but as the saying goes, “Rather be with it, than without” and who knows what you may come across in your travels.
ATN BINOX 4T 384 1.25-5X
Success comes from dedication and going the extra mile, day and night. If you are putting in the hard work, then you expect your equipment to perform at the same level.

Bow Hunters: 9 out of 10
Setting aside all the other incredible features of the BinoX 4T 384, the magnification alone of 1.25-5x makes these binoculars ideal for bowhunters that get within range and only need a small magnification to pick up the finer details between them and their target.
Another great advantage and reason why we chose the BinoX 4T 384 as being the perfect pair of binoculars for bow hunters is the built-in rangefinder. Having the ability to scan the area, inspect your target and range it at the same time all while holding onto the bow with one hand, saves on time and efficiency.

Conclusion

It was only a matter of time. Airsoft is coming to South Park in their next episode… be gentle, please be gentle!
The boys go up against some teenagers in the Airsoft arena, in the all-new episode titled, “Help, My Teenager Hates Me!” premiering March 9 at 8p ET/PT on Comedy Central.
Silo Entertainment has posted a video on his YouTube channel testing out all of his favourite toys and a rather expensive collection. There’s a nice variation of electric, gas blowback, pistols, shotguns and of course, a minigun. The RPG and A12 certainly draw attention as to the somewhat classic shell ejecting pieces.
Now 35,000USD is a heap to spend on airsoft kit, without becoming a professional at the old poker games, or setting up your own company (running poker games website?) you honestly don’t have to start with that much kit to enjoy airsoft. Players collect kit and attend events with kit that spans both realms. I still have a springer 1911 that was my first purchase and is firmly remaining in the toy cupboard here.
You can purchase kit and equipment from their own website over at Silo-Airsoft including their decent looking camo wraps.
Not airsoft specifically but definitely worth as much airtime as possible. Operation Kingpin, 27 Minutes at Son Tay is a private production detailing the operation with as much original content as possible. This includes interviews and first hand reports form those there. These guys are looking for funds to complete the production and from what I read the final edits. They’ve set up a GoFundMe page for any donations folks are willing to share.
Also according to their pages donations enter you into a raffle to win an Airsoft XM177 signed by the Raiders themselves:
The hard truth is, we can’t finish the film without your help! To that end, we have a special surprise to aid us in raising money for the film! Starting Today and ending on December 15, we are raffling off a detailed replica Airsoft Gun complete with custom sight and signed by the Raiders at the upcoming reunion. As of today, November 5, every $20 donated to the GoFundMe gets you ONE entry. No limit on entries. This is your chance to grab a little piece of history sanctioned by the very men who carried out this swift and deadly raid with the sole intent of bringing Americans home with the added bonus of helping the very same men get their story told.
On November 21, 1970, U.S. Special Forces soldiers and U.S. Airforce airmen executed a swift and stunning raid of the Son Tay prison camp with zero American casualties. U.S. Army Special Forces soldiers are often called the silent professionals. They hold tight the details of their feats – what, where, and with whom they accomplished their missions. It falls to us to share their deeds.
Due to the current COVID-19 crisis, our ability to raise money in person to finish making the film has been severely hampered (obviously!) so we are reaching out to those who support both excellent storytelling, as well as our veteran community.
Our ultimate goal is to honor the men of the Son Tay Raid, disdained by civilian peers as they returned from the humidity and horror of Vietnam. Our film, this storytelling effort, elevating the experience, the voice, and the humble courage of these 56 raiders and the countless other service members engaged in their protection and success across the air and seas of south Asia – this is the way we say, “Thank you for your service.” We would be honored to have you be a part of this storytelling effort to honor these incredible, quiet, heroes.
All funds raised will be used to pay team member wages, including our tireless editor, graphic designer, composer, sound mixer, and other post production specialists whose expertise we would be lost without.
Currently, the film is in the rough cut editing stage.
So Tokyo Marui have run their latest live stream and run some new annoucements. Included in their stream (now viewable on their Youtube channel) is news of the White Storm AEG which appears to be a rework of their recoil Storm AK (with M-LOK goodness), and the… Saiga-12k GBB shotgun.
From what I see in the promo material the Saiga appears to have a 18 shot magazine capacity (54BBs total in 3 shot bursts). I’ve not caught a release date yet, but my translation skills are weak.
ICS Airsoft have released a promo video for their forthcoming HI-CAPA Challenger model that they have been releasing teaser material for the past year or so.

More details for the LCP concealment holster and the Bodyguard 380 concealment holster are available on Tokyo Marui’s website. The holsters are suitable for both inside and outside the waistband as well as MOLLE fittings with the adapter.
Laylax have released a non-recoil barrel mod for the Carbon 8 M45CQP pistol under their Nineball branding. This outer barrel is non-recoil as it doesn’t move back with the slide and remains horizontal. This makes it a decent choice for barrel extensions and silencer kits.
