Adjust the Focus

After changing the magnification, some refocusing is usually required. Turn the focus dial to adjust the fine focus. This fine focusing does more than allow you to see critical details. A well-focused image also ensures fatigue-free viewing.

Customers are mixed about the focus of the sporting goods. Some mention it's easy to use, with a single focus adjustment, and has an adjustment to rotate the eyepiece to the right or left to allow easier viewing, while others say it'd be very difficult to get a clear focus on certain things at maximum. The Vortex wouldn't focus as sharply, and it stays a little blurry.

Great spotting scope at a good price.

Great spotting scope at a good price.
I don't have a past history with spotting scopes to compare and contrast, so this is more or less my experience and thoughts on having a spotting scope to do a little bit of scouting in the off season thus far. I've had mine for a few weeks now and at first it was just being used to zoom in on tree's and brush in the field across the house. While at the time i was excited about the crystal clear clarity and magnification of this scope, it wasn't until i got to put it on some whitetails that i truly got to appreciate the quality. It being early June at the moment, the deer around here are just now starting to show some characteristics in their racks as they are growing this years set. Just a few days ago i was able to watch three deer feeding in front of my stand in a bean field. I was a good 300 yards away pulled over on the side of the road watching as they made their way out from the woods and along the edge of the bean field. From that distance i could easily make out three bucks. Two of which had no more than 4-5 inches of their antlers growing so far, starting to split into their brown and main beam. The third had already put on a good 8-10 inches of growth. Now i will be the first to admit a spotting scope is hardly a necessity for hunting whitetails here in Ohio, but this scope has enhanced the enjoyment of driving around the block looking for deer in a immeasurable amounts, taking it from seeing some deer movement to being able to identify the deer as doe, buck, amount of points etc. Beyond satisfied with the purchase and while i may only be using it for the occasional drive around the block or glassing the field across the house, i am also confident in having a good quality scope on hand if i ever have the opportunity to go on any other type big game hunts.
