Unfortunate Binocular Accident!!!
«

Was loading up all of our turkey gear Thursday in preparation for what would end being an unbelievable turkey hunt. I had forgot to lock the front door so I set my Bushnell binos on the hood of the truck before walking back to the house. Seconds later I hear the unmistakeable sound of my binos falling to the ground. To my disbelief, they cracked right down the middle of the hinge. I should have known better. My question: Am I SOL or do I stand a chance that the hinge is repairable. Any help would be awesome.

Unless they were a good pair of binos, meaning high quality, then it would be a good excuse to upgrade to something nice, like Nikon, Swarovski, Leica, Meopta... Binos are one of those places where it pays not to skimp.

If they are really nice they may have a forever warranty (stupidity included) never hurts to call manufacturer

Thanks for the advice guys. I contacted Cabela's and they credited me the original sale price that I paid three years ago with no questions asked. Since they no longer carried the model I had purchased, I used the credit to help upgrade to a nice pair of Leupold 10x42's. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford the Leica's. Thanks again for the recommendations.

Losing my cheap, $20 pair of 10x25s my first hunting season was the best think that happened to me. Went out and bought me some Nikon Monarch's and I was happy with those for five years. Now I've got the Nikon EDG
