Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunting Optics How to use vintage Bushnell Broadfield 6x25?

Bought an old vintage set of binoculars, Bushnell Broadfield 6x25. The right eye piece adjusts but it doesn't appear the left one does. However, it looks like it has a adjustable middle wheel, but it doesn't adjust either (or is frozen). Looking for someone who's ever used these eye of binoculars to find out just how did one adjust the left eye piece. I searched the internet and youtube, but these binoculars are pretty dated, no instructions or info could be located.

From my experience the older bino's have the left eye focus using the main wheel you say doesn't work, and the right eye is adjustable. Adjust the left eyepiece at a fixed diastance, and then use the right eyepiece to adjust the right to match the left. From then on, just use the center thumbwheel and it will adjust for focus without having to adjust the right eyepiece again.

It sounds like the main thumbwheel isn't working, or the optics are so bad you can't see any change. That does happen.

I would ask someone with "younger eyes" ( assuming you have old eye's...lol) as that sometimes is what is wrong. My MIL has had 2 vehicle accidents recently, then just found out she needs Catarack surgery. I suspect this is why she had 2 accidents.....
