Hawke Binoculars

Where are Hawke binoculars manufactured?

How do you set up Hawke binoculars?

Twist-Up Eye Cups - Eyeglass users will normally need the eye cups twisted down. Users not wearing eyeglasses should adjust the eye cups upwards for optimum eye relief. 

Adjust the Hinge - The distance between the eyes varies from one person to the next. To achieve perfect alignment of the eyes and the lens openings, hold the binocular in the normal viewing position and move the two barrels either apart or closer to each other until you have a single, clear field of view. 

Focusing your Binocular - Set the diopter adjuster to the center position. Cover the right front lens with your hand and rotate the focusing wheel until the image in the left eyepiece appears sharp. Now cover the left front lens with your hand and rotate the diopter adjuster until the image is sharp. The binoculars have now been adjusted to your eyes. Note the diopter reading of the right eyepiece for future reference.

Attaching the Strap - From new, unloop the strap from the buckle completely.  Loop the strap through the buckle once.  Thread the strap through the strap loop on the binocular from bottom to top.  Loop the strap again through the buckle, passing underneath the original loop.  Repeat on the other side and adjust length to suit personal preference. 

Are Hawke monoculars any good?

Yeah they are good, otherwise we wouldn't be selling them.  They sit in the 'good yet affordable' bracket with other brands such as Vortex diamondbacks and Nikon Prostaff.  Hawke's life-time guarantee means that they are very confident in their product, and you'll never have to buy another pair, unless you want to.
