Cranfield Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 I wear varifocal spectacles although my long range vision is quite good. I went pigeon shooting today in the rain (filed a report) and I shot without them on. Does anyone else shoot with prescription glasses and how do you cope with the rain ?

highdowns hunter Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 I wear perscription glasses and always need to wear a baseball type cap to keep the rain off them. I did manage to wear contact lenses for about 1 year and they were wonderfull. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lazza Posted July 3, 2002 Report Share Posted July 3, 2002 I'm also a four eyes.............when it rains .........I either..........get Kev to clean them for me..............or spot a single bird, take off my glasses & then aim for the middle one...

dead-eye-dick Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 I did have this problem....but I now shoot so meny pigeons that the heat from my smoking barrels dries the rain as soon as it falls :( .........Hmmmmmmm After a while the rain runs off leaving a set amount on the lenses and I seem to just get used to it, I find I am unable to pick birds out when they are far off without my glasses on.......getting old :=) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cranfield Posted July 4, 2002 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 Anyone who wears prescription spectacles all the time knows that one good thing is, that you eventually forget you are wearing them. When I,m shooting and I get rain on mine, any attempts to wipe them dry only smears the glass, I then become "aware" of them. This then becomes a distraction and affects my shooting. Does anyone use any sprays or other special stuff to keep the water off ? Do they work ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead-eye-dick Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 ...NO... water just sits on the like beads on a ducks back... unless they have changed the design.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
highdowns hunter Posted July 4, 2002 Report Share Posted July 4, 2002 I wash mine with washing up liqiuid and this stops steaming up but if they get wet then I try not to touch the lenses too much Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
