Hi Matt.

I purchased one of those too and have the same problem 
with them.  They are severely out of alignment.

One of these days I'll get my butt off the couch and 
work may way up to the club house to try to get them 
fixed.

Does anyone in the list have any experience with bino 
aligments?  A few tips would be nice.

Thanks.
