			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Commanding a state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, all of Alpens customers have been extremely happy with products purchased from this American company. They have proven to be reliable and dependable with exceptional clarity and comfort. All of the products are made specifically for each category that they are intended including sport optics, bird watching, hunting, competition shooting or archery and even have accessories for digital photography. They carry a full line of binoculars, Scopes (spotting and rifle), monoculars and more.</p>
<p>Alpen has two lines of riflescopes, the Apex and the Kodiak. Both are excellent rifle scopes at giving you the ability to see and set up your next trophy. Apex is the top of the line and offer fully multi-coated lenses for optical clarity. Fast focus eyepieces, generous eye relief, low profile windage and elevation adjustments are just a couple persuasions to owning one of these. For the more conscious shopper the Kodiak line of rifle scope is an excellent tool also. Both scopes are fully waterproof, fog proof and shockproof.</p>
<p>Monoculars are perfect for long walks, hikes or birdwatching. While being light weight and easily tossed in your pack pak they range in size from 8&#215;21 to 10&#215;32 with some being water and fog proof. Alpen spotting scopes are some of the best in the industry and are built straight or at a 45-degree. They offer powerful zoom eyepieces, an extendable sun shade and are nitrogen filled, water/fog proof and shock resistant.</p>
<p>Consumers are talking about the products they have purchased from Alpen. There is tremendous satisfaction in owning a pair of binoculars built to handle the extreme wear and tear of life on the road. With six different categories of binoculars, picking the right pair should be easy. The Alpen pink series was designed with the Breast Cancer Research center in mind and to help us focus on a cure. With a magnesium body, multi-coated lenses and nitrogen filled, the &#8220;Rainier&#8221; is the top of the line and has been compared with the best binoculars on the market.</p>
<p>Consumers are satisfied with all 70 products that Alpen carries and are very pleased with their purchase. All of their products carry a limited lifetime warranty and believe that you shouldn&#8217;t have to spend a lot in order to own world class sporting optics. Some benefits include BAK4 glass for clear, bright, high resolution images, fully multi-coated for maximum brightness, and PXA phase coating for superior resolution and color fidelity. Waterproof, sealed and nitrogen filled along with twist lock eye cups and rubber armoring are among other reasons these products have risen quickly in the world of sport optics. The company also makes an annual donation to support breast cancer research and you will find Alpen optics at most sporting competitions throughout the United States.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Perception Optics might be a new company, but the products we have are not new at all, they have been around for years. Lenses have been around since the age of Dinosaurs ( just kidding ), maybe the 13th century and were made as spectacles. Galileo is the name everybody thinks to be the inventor, but actually optical telescopes were introduced in the Netherlands in 1608, Galileo only improved on this design later.</p>
<p>At present, with the existence of inventions, advanced technology and an apparent understanding about the role of the human eye, we give you modern optics that consist of:</p>
<p>Binoculars: The most common, found in almost every household with divided functions which include Astronomy, Compact, Zoom, Digital, and Image Stabilizers</p>
<p>Telescopes: Consisting of lenses or mirrors and sometimes both which gathers incoming light and brings it to a focus point to be magnified by the eyepiece. Telescopes can be used for direct observation or photographic recording of distant objects.</p>
<p>Spotting Scopes: Built for on the go powerful viewing with up to a 75 magnification and mainly used by hunters, competition shooters, birders and hikers. A smaller version of the telescope, but just as powerful, can be used to watch the stars.</p>
<p>Rifle Scopes: Used by Hunters and competition shooting or anything else you would use a rifle for. Rifle Scopes are invaluable for accurate shots and have none or very little magnification.</p>
<p>Range Finder: Are you ready to stop guessing how far the ball is to the next green, or what distance that prized buck is. The range finder will tell you that as well as determine slope, speed and angle.</p>
<p>Night Vision: Enhances your ability to see in a dark situation with either natural ambient light or artificial light by means of an IR illuminator. Used in my case for fun, but mostly used by local law enforcement and military.</p>
<p>Everyone desires optics, starting with young kids to adults, from homeowners to the work field and from the specialist to the hobbyist. All youngsters need their initial set of Binoculars or an Astronomy class with their original Telescope and in support of those individuals who benefit from hunting or a sporting event then sport optics are just the thing.</p>
<p>Perception Optics has many brand name products with warehouses throughout the country. We started this business with you in mind and will do our very best to satisfy you as a customer.</p>
