Shooting glasses

[Mike of the Mountain]

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...

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

It only hurts for just a little while

I purchased a set of Pilla glasses maybe 3 years ago and I like them. Andy helped me figure out my prescription lenses and with Pilla you can use any different shade of lenses since the prescription lenses is separate.

I'm only a young guy (relatively speaking) and I think they should last longer than me

Your optometrist would make a set of Rx lenses that attach to the frame via the nose-piece. You can change the light transmission by changing the lenses that snap on to the frame. I pretty much stick to 35% as that allows me to dial in on any bird. The only time you need to remove the Rx insert from the frame is when your Rx changes.

I'd post a picture but I actually have mine at Andy Sacco's right now for a new Rx insert.
