garden gun Posted January 19, 2011 Report Share Posted January 19, 2011 Prescription glasses are a s*d whatever sport you take part in. I fish with polarised clip ons over my standard titanium varifocals which protects against wayward flies and cuts glare. Airgunning is just nude prescription glasses. To date shotguns is again just nude varifocals because they are plastic lenses with adequate balistic protection. I have tried wrap arounds for fishing over standard glasses and that does not really work from a confort point of view, but does the enhancing job in low light. Horses for courses I guess. Whatever you get it will cost - prescription polaroids, swin goggles, ski goggles are all at a premium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lincs1963 Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Hi, You should have no problems shooting a scoped weapon with your distance prescription lenses as you can focus by adjusting the focus on your scope and/or slightly varying your eye relief. I shoot both with and without my glasses (no glasses at the range but glasses for rabbiting etc)and I find that just a slight adjustment to the focus on the scope is fine. I shoot shotgun with my glasses on so Glasses for close up work are not really needed as far as shooting goes. hope this helps, regards, Neil.
