Wandering if anyone uses these and can tell me if they do well for prone position shooting?

It has an open frame above the eyes, or they have a pair that is full frame? My thinking is full frame might be a hindrance for the type of shooting we do(Fclass)


Thanks for the help

One of the guys I shoot F-Class(F/TR) with regularly has a pair of those and he's had no problems with them. Figure he's shooting HM class, so they can't be a hindrance to him.

The open top model or the full frame?

Thanks for the reply

I have two pairs of the open frame type. I think they call them the "ICE" model. They are by far the best solution for me. I shoot F-Class. At Danny Biggs' suggestion, I bought the nose piece they sell separately for people who need prescription inserts. I don't but the nose piece pushes the glasses a little higher on my face which is very helpful from the prone position.

If memory serves me correct they are the full frame

The things that go over your ears attach directly to the top edge of the lens with the ICE model.

Great. Tony what color lenses? Thinking the rose color and the clear ones.

These look safe and somewhat "normal" sunglasses

I have the smoke, clear and yellow although the red color might be useful. I've never tried it. I have only used the clear lenses but will be trying the smoke color this trip to Raton. I have used the clear there on bright days without problems even though it is pretty bright. I have heard that any sort of color cuts down on the image in the scope so I have avoided any tint, but I thought I'd give the smoke a try this time. In any event, I haven't had any trouble with fogging the last three times I was out there.
