Shooting glasses
 

A lot of older men are red deficient. Or another way to put it is the red spectrum doesn't show up well for them (us). So, if that's the case for you, you will definately want at least a red tinted lens for most situations. Since we're talking about it, I, until recently when I had cataract surgery in both eyes, shot with progressive lenses. People say you can't do it, but I shot comfortably for over 20 years with them. Pilla will provide a progressive, or single vision, insert for your various colored lenses that snap inside the nosepiece to give you total vision. These other types of glasses are first class, but you have to buy a prescription lens for each color you want. And you do want at least 2 colors. The reddish to make the target show up better and a yellow for low light conditions. I also have target orange and purple for very bright sunny days. ALL of the top shooters use Pilla. Some of these others are great for driving and other things. I will be wearing my Pillas on the target range and in South Dakota, taking all of my different lenses too. Good luck.

I have been using a mail order outfit from Pa for a set of different color interchangeable lenses for bifocal shooting glasses for several years. I also get a spare pair of yellow tinted safety glasses from Sam's club as a back-up. the glasses from Sam's are just as good and a fraction of the cost

I have Browning Comp Series Glasses. They work great for me. There's no rim blocking my vision and they come with a variety of different colour lenses you can swap.

I'm still using Hi-Def Spex for probably close to 20 years. Mine have a prescription insert that fits into the nose-piece and the lens snaps over it on the frame. Comfortable, safe and they help me turn the targets into diesel smoke. So, Pilla would be my choice if I had to start over since they own HDS.

I have a been using a three lens set of Rangers for longer than I care to admit. They are as good today as they were when I purchased them. Probably not the high end lenses that have been mentioned here but they work for me and are very reasonably priced. I was wearing contacts up until two year ago when I had cataract surgery on both eyes. Been wearing either glasses or contacts since 5th grade. Now I have 20/20 uncorrected vision and it is wonderful.

Mike, can you explain this a bit more? Specifically the prescription insert and lens over it? I've considered looking into prescription shooting glasses but I would like to have, say, a medium orange and a clear lens and getting two pair or two separate corrective lenses doesn't appeal to me for a variety of reasons. Thanks...

Phil, I hope you have deep pockets!

I don't, so if that's required, never mind :rolleyes:.
