Shooting glasses

[IW1978]

What does everyone wear when shooting? I am looking to upgrade my cheap old shooting glasses and am looking for recommendations. I want something that won’t be safe and comfortable that I can use for general shooting and hunting. Appreciate any recommendations.

You cannot beat Pilla(s), IMO. Just awesome quality.

They used to be called HiDefSpex. Phillip Pilla is the owner.

Ranger or Decot. I think you mean you want something that WILL be safe and comfortable.

I wear Decots. I have three different color lenses for varying light conditions, each with my long distance prescription. Very comfortable. I will often wear them all day long and swapping lenses is a breeze. I use them for both trap shooting and hunting. My regular progressive lenses just don’t get it.

If you are new to the shooting glasses scene, think about checking out Morgan Optical at morganoptical.net

They sell all the top brands and cater to shooters. I think they attend the major shooting events as well. They are very good at helping with sizing and can even do prescription lenses should you need/desire. Fast and efficient, good customer service.

Best!

My glasses are a bit spendy, but I use Oakley Radar EV Path with photochromatic lenses.

Safety Features: They fit on my face tight and are not going to fall off crawling around in the thicket. They are impact tested for incoming branches, errant shooters, (yes, I have been peppered before) and give me some piece of mind between my eyes and the 100 year old metal tubes filled with explosives 3" from them.

functionality: I used to have to keep taking my sunglasses off when i would do transitioning from cover to open areas on bright days. Its just too dark in the cover, and those pesky birds always fly into the sun in the open. The photochromatic adjusts quickly and allows for a near constant state of brightness throughout my day and throughout my covers.

Plus, they sell a myriad of other lense types you can pop in and out for clays or what have you. I happen to use this same pair with different lenses for cycling or running, and then again for Clays.

I've used the same pair for 5 years and if they break, I will just buy another pair. Pricey, but checked every box for someone whos interest is 95% + hunting.

Good advice from Dean. I have found Wayne at Morgan Optical to be most helpful and very approachable.

I'm on my third pair of shooting glasses from Morgan Optical. I catch up with Wayne at the Grand American. It is one of my stops, when Mr. Davis isn't shooting!

I still prefer good old Raybans or Bushnells.

I use Randolph Rangers with prescription cut bifocals. I got tired of not being able to read fine print while shooting. Looks from other shooters are priceless.
