Rx shooting glasses

[Slngruki]

Time for rx shooting glasses. I need advise from the prone shooters about which frames work the best. Knoblocks, Decot hy wyd, Junkers etc....)

To get started, it is pretty hard to beat the "Harry Potter after a barfight" glasses from Bob Jones.

~40 bucks for the frame, and I pay about 40 bucks for the sighting eye lens at my local optometrist.

Once you get your needs ironed out, you may want to get something fancier, but I think these are a really good start.

I have a set of Randolph Ranger Edge glasses with the adjustable bridge. I had a set of prescription Trivex lenses made for them. They are excellent.

You can't go wrong with any set that has an adjustable bridge.

If wearing bi focals what do you tell your optometrist for shooting prone F TR ?

Stumpy, i said rx glasses. Those Harry Potters look like rx birth control. Lol

I fought my shooting glasses for several years until I broke down and bought me a set of Decot Hy Wyd's and I've never once regretted it. My Decot's sit high on my face so I am looking through the middle of the lens when shooting prone instead of the top of the lens and the frame. The view is clear and not distorted. I have a small bifocal in the bottom of the lens to help with reading scope and sight settings but it is never in the way. I ordered two sets of lens's - one in a very dark color for bright days and one with an amber look to it to help view the target better on cloudy or overcast days. The adjustable nose piece lets me change the position of my glasses on my face and the hooked temples hold the glasses firmly on my head. The customer service was outstanding when I called and my glasses came quickly. They weren't cheap but I believe they are worth every cent. I just couldn't be happier with them.

I purchased a set of Post4Sport RX Glasses when I finally needed RX. One set of large titanium frames and 3 sets of different color lenses for different conditions. $392.00 with case and shipping. Mike, the owner is a lense grinder and a shooter and was great to work with.

I got some wiley x from my local optometrist. Got one set of transition lenses and another frame with blue mirror polarized. I think both pair together was like $440 frames lenses and eye exam. The decots are nice i just gotta have some style and too much sun leaks in around the lenses

Any issues with glasses fogging up?

 

[Dusty Stevens]

If you put the sand filtering foam on them they do. They were designed for the desert. No fogging without em tho

These are my main ones the Zak. The transition ones have the foam but i cant remember the model. Theyre one of the tactical models

I need a set with prescription. But here we go again with variety. good and bad having choices. way too many color choices in lens' . So what color is best for sunny days prone rifle shooting? Decot look to be focused (no pun intended) on orange clays. I shoot white paper.

 

[rkittine]

If you call Decot or Post4Sale and probably the others mentioned, you can usually get an experienced shooter on the phone (Mike at Post4 for example) who knows, lenses, colors and suggestions for shooting style and conditions.

Over on www.Shotgunworld.com there is an active thread on shooting glasses and someone inserted a full layout of all the decot colored lenses with names, pictures etc. I printed it out as a reference for the future (have to do that on high quality gloss photo paper to get a good print).

I shoot NRA High Power Rifle XTC, mid range and long range. I have found that the light gold from Decot is best for me. You do not want the orange clays for "white paper". We all see color a little differently and what works best for me may not be the best for you. Any color reduces the light into the eye and there is a trade off between no color (maximum light) and contrast. You want to improve contrast but to do it will the least amount of color that gets the job done. BTW this also work with a scope.

My experience is similar to yours except I always need the max light I can get shooting iron sights but our eyes are not all the same, what works for me may not be the best the for you.
