Any reason that I shouldn't use these for (waterfowl) hunting?

That depends on how you hunt, because the material is lightweight. Walking through a marsh would be no problem, but up and down, in and out of a blind would damage them. Also, keep in mind that these are not bootfoot waders.

No they are designed to be used over stocking foot waders. Unfortunately they aren't waterproof.

They would not work well for fishing because of the relatively wide portion of the dart needed to work in the blow gun. I am sure it would go only a few inches into the water then stop because of the wide dart base.

Yes they are perfect for birding. You will not be disappointed. You can spend 3 times them amount and get less quality.

I have purchased them for just that reason. I am using them to hold a compound bow and it seems to do a decent job. Although, other than just fitting them to grasp the bow as best as possible...the real test will be my hunting trip the first week of September

I shoot them out of my Gamo Silent Cat which is rated at 1000 fps for lead pellets. I only get 625 fps out of that gun with these 11.6 grain ones but they do a lot of damage to what they hit. But I would not use them in a low powered rifle. I switched to 10.3 grain H&N; Barracuda hollow points for more tissue damage but the Silver Arrow does a good job.

I wish I could help you. I use these for navigation on the Tennessee River. Though they are pretty good for watching eagles and ospreys and herons. I don't see any reason these wouldn't be good for watching other birds as long as only one person is the main user.

I can't imagine why they would interfere with the shooting of the rifle. Whether or not you wanted to use them would depend on if you are comfortable wearing hearing protection while hunting.

They are pretty decent. I found that if you focus them at a far distance, you dont have to refocus them till you are within like 40 yards of what you are looking at. Stable enough that you dont need a tripod at farther distances but if you are trying to just hold them upto your eyes with no support, you would get some shaking. I took em out hunting and used my rifle, butt on the ground and stabilized with the side of the barrel. 40 power is about as far as you wanna go when holding by hand. The adjustable eye pieces dont really matter as you need them all the way out to use them so your eye lashes dont touch the the lenses. They are pretty decent.

No these legs have a lot of play in them, great for hunting would not be so great for bench rest target accuracy

They are a nice size to shoot in all direction. I also zip them up at times, because that are to big, and the deer can see the motion. Make sure shooting rails are at the bottom of the window ripper when you put the blind on the tree stand. I will be hunting with my cross bow this year from the blind. Hope this helps? :)

I have no idea. I've been using them for years and they're either working or I've been lucky. I'm in a heavily populated deer area. For 5$ it's worth a try.

I have not shot them but they are not rage broadheads. I compared them to a couple of different batches that I have and they look very similar but there are small differences. I will shoot them and then decide if I will trust them enough to hunt with them.

I use them for watching wildlife, but I would suggest it takes some time to be comfortable with the sites, because they are small but certainly useful in "back yard" viewing. I live on a canal and there aren't deer and large animals, but birds, and we had a raccoon visit not long ago.

They are in no way whatsoever meant to be used in a hunting shotgun. They are (obviously) meant for a airsoft shotgun. Sorry if I seem sarcastic however this seems very obvious to me.

You have to be careful if you are hunting in a brushy type area as they can be pulled off. I lost mine while turkey hunting this year. Vortex replaced them and suggested adding a rubber band around the ends to help secure them. I have just been taking them off.

They would be fine for hunting from a stand. They might be a little heavy for a hunter that does a lot of walking. I use them for deer hunting from stands and they are great. For much walking I would use a chest strap to take the weight off my neck and keep them from swinging. Hope this helps.
