The ballistic safety glasses they were recommending included frames and non-prescription lenses for north of $700. I guess my question is what does everybody use for eye protection while shooting?? Do the high end safety glasses really provide that much more clarity and safety?? Or can I just run my gas-station-sun-glasses and save the money for ammo?
Total ripoff. I shoot a high end perscription safety eyeglass, $550 out the dorr, mostly due to the wierd perscription I have & the complex lens grinding of my glasses. They are an Oakly style wrap by Laenon. Really good non perscrip safety glasses, about $125-$150 on line.
