Barska Blackhawk Binoculars Review of Quality
The quality of the Barska Blackhawk Binoculars is well below what we see in more expensive models, but we have to take into consideration the low entry level price.
We feel that the quality is good for a cheap pair of hunting binoculars, but when it comes to optics, you definitely get what you pay for.
It is quite impressive for a pair of inexpensive binoculars to have fully coated optics with BAK-4 prisms and be nitrogen purged for 100% waterproof and fogproof use.
The Barska Blackhawk Binoculars comes with a carrying case, neck strap, lens covers and lens cloth.
Design and Functionality
We really were impressed by the design and functionality of the Barska Blackhawk Binoculars.
We really like the new diamond cut rubberized grip. They fit in your hands nicely and provides a no slip grip when compared to some of the models without this feature.
The rugged rubber armor coating also protects your investment from falls or just the general abuse associated with hunting binoculars.
Couple that with the compact and lightweight roof prism design and you can see why we chose to feature the Blackhawk.
