Shooting glasses?

[ladder13]

What glasses/goggles do you folks use while shooting?

 

[s&wchad]

Decot Hy Wide with my distance perscription only.

I use Radians, but there are several good brands. It never ceases to amaze me that someone will be shooting a gun worth several hundred dollars, but won't spring for a decent pair of glasses, under the theory "they all work"

I don't need the toughest, highest tech available, but I do appreciate a clear, non-distorted view in addition to the safety aspect.

Mine are RX. The ophthalmologist set me up for ~24-30 inches. Front site is sharp. Also use to look at the 'puter!
YMMV

S&W shooting glasses...
Dont know the model # as they are 1500 miles away right now.

Whats even more surprising are the people without shooting glasses.

I am thinking about getting some Randolf Rangers cause you can buy replacement lenses they are 100% UV and they are fog proof. Anyone own a pair? How do you like them?

It depends on what you want to shoot.....some RX shooting glasses (Decot and Randolph come to mind) are designed for claybird shooters...ie---they sit higher off the cheek since your head will be down against the shotgun stock and you will be looking up slightly through them. I'm sure they have several models/designs....just keep it in mind. Me, I use wraparound safety glasses for handgunning and shotgunning. You can get a million different styles and colors from online safety supply outfits.

Had some made to focus on the front sight. They work great. Don

Ranger XLW, while they might be for the shotgunning sports, they also work very well for the handgun sports.

Light weight, curved wrap around, changable lenses, available prescriptions. The nose piece moves up and down for proper adjustment for the sport at hand. Come with a very nice case and cleaning cloth.

Love 'em!

I also have Decot's which are almost as good except they are straight and do not wrap around. Same adjustable nose piece though.

Both are relatively expensive v the run-of-the-mill glasses...not there is anything wrong with any of the shooting glasses out there.

Wal-Mart reading glasses,2:25-$7.00 a pair.Work great for me.

Thanks guys, I think I will get the Ranger XL, I like the fact that you get 3 lenses and the other reasons socal S&W brought up, and also if you ever scratch them you can get new ones for 30 bucks.

Howard Leight industries, which makes first rate hearing proteciton, also makes first rate shooting glasses.

Better still...they are very inexpensive. You can buy them on line from Police Equipment from CopQuest.com - (800) 728-0974 for $6.54 a pair.

Vapor II Eye Protection

• Lightweight frame design
• Sleek, sporty style
• 9-base wraparound lens design
• Comfortable sport temples
• Secure wrap-around fit
• Soft nose bridge prevents slipping
• Anti-fog coating
• Meets ANSI Z87 high-impact standard

Our Price $6.54 (Retail Price $8.18)
No. 44-5000

Of course, even at retail, they're quite reasonable. $8.18.

I have a pair and they compare favorably with my much more expensive Oakelys.

Considering how affordable (but not cheap) the Howard Leights are, I bought a few extras, so as to have eyes for non-shooters who want to visit the range and check it out.

I wouldn't have known about them but for stopping by the Howard Leight booth at the SHOT show a few years ago.

I've tried several, settled on Randolph Rangers for all my shooting, clay sports, rifle and handgun.

When it's sunny, I've been wearing the Edge Dakura polarized copper lenses.

• Features:
• Polarized polycarbonate lenses.
• Sleek wraparound frame, no side shield distortion.
• Durable lightweight nylon temples.
• Scratch resistant hard coat and anti-fog polycarbonate lens.
• 99.9% protection from UVA/UVB/UVC rays.

Lens Color: Copper Polarized - Blocks out blue rays which cause eye fatigue or stress. Brings out warm colors. 14% Transmission of light.

Compliance: Compliant with ANSI Z87.1+ 2003 standards and meets U.S. Military Eyewear Ballistic Impact Resistance Requirements - MIL-PRF-31013 clause 3.5.1.1, MIL-V-43511 clause 3.5.10.

I also use the Edge Kirova in Yellow and in clear Indoor/Outdoor glare resistant.

I can't see spending a lot, what with my lousy vision. I wear contacts and when we end up shooting into the evenings, I can't see the targets that great anyway no matter what color shooting glasses I have on. I could probably use ballistic night vision goggles.

Glasses are great to protect your eyes from fishhooks too.

If I weren't wearing glasses in Alaska, I'd have a patch over my right(shooting) eye.
