I'm currently looking for a decent pair of binoculars that are around $100. I understand that you get what you pay for but can't afford a top of the line pair right now. Anyone have any suggestions for me?
Affordable Binos!

Leupold Yosemite binos are about $100 most places and are about as good as you'll find for that price.

Nikon has 8x40's for around $89 or $99 at Bass Pro most of the time.

Check out Vortex Optics. Waterproof, Fogproof, Lifetime warranty. I have a pair of 8x32's that I am well pleased with. I bought for $89.99 Lots of 3d archers using them. They have a great warranty. I sent mine back for repair after breaking them (completely my fault) had them back, repaired in one week.

Mine are green line or something to that effect.
I also recommend the Yosemites. I have the 6X30 and they're GREAT for closer range stuff like bow hunting, and when blood trailing bad shots. Take a step, scan everything, take a step, etc. The lower magnification of the 6 power combined with the 30 mm objective increases the brightness compared to the 8 power, and the brightness of the glass makes it so you see just as well. The field of view is larger with the 6 and it's brighter at last light.
The main thing I like about these is the weight. They weigh only slightly more than the cheap little "compact" glasses, but much less than an 8X42. Often before I'd leave binocs at home if it was hot and/or I had to carry my treestand, but now I almost always take my Yosemites, even when rifle hunting.
I got mine on eBay for $75.
