Shooting Glasses

#1 Post by Christel »

I would like some new shooting glasses. I never use mine because I do not like them. Any suggestions? I do not want some with different colour, just plain ones.

When I was at Phoenix last year I spotted a pair of DeerHunters, does anyone on here know them?
I think they were £20.

Personally, I like Oakley M-frames. A simple frame which comes in various colours and interchangeable lenses - I have clear, polarising, reflectiong, hi-def yellow and a couple of others. I sue them for shooting, fly fishing and general sunglasses.

I was issued with some when we were bouncing around the edge of the Vesterhavet in a CV90, I was dim enough to hand them back as well :(

I have the BSA ones with the interchangeable lenses, just that I do never use them. So I figured a pair with just one pair of lenses might do me nicely.

Have a little look on Flea-bay, usually some on there at sensible money.

Or have a look for safety glasses. You can pick them up for as little as £1.50 a pair so you could try 10 pairs of different ones to get the right ones!! I used to get mine from Cromwell Tools through work. RS will do them too. Nothing special about "shooting Glasses" other than their price! (unless you go for coloured ones).

When it comes to my eyes, I swear by Oakleys. I have prescription normal glasses and sunglasses as well as Skiing goggles. Optics are first class as the level of customisation is unreal. Back up service even in the UK is top notch.

Expensive, yes but you only have one pair of eyes!
