The binocular has the variable Sight-in option of 100, 150, 200, and 300 yards in RiFle mode. Also, has some other selective targeting modes like automatic scan, BullsEye and Brush modes for different shots. The first one uses to take all the reading of distance to consider and try to make a fast decision to adjust the view.

The Bulls Eye option gives the easy acquisition of small target and game without focusing background objects that have a more strong signal. This option is best for practice shootings. When there is more than one object need to focus, the closer objects will appear bright.

Next, the Brush option, that actually ignore bush and tree branches and only show the background objects. In a simple word when you need to see more than on object form longer distance, this mode comes handy.

Also, we tried this binocular in normal to windy weather with a tripod too. It was great as it is on a walk in the normal sunny day. However, it’s a weatherproof binocular that has fog, rain, dust resistancy. Infect, its usable for below -30 degrees to 120 plus.
