eastlincs Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 may be daft question but im a clay virgin. are clear lenses best or the yellow lensed ones? or buy glasses where i can change the lenses? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trevorevans Posted August 8, 2012 Report Share Posted August 8, 2012 Bought some eyelevel shooting glasses from a well known auction site, half a dozen interchangeable lenses and cost about £20. They appear to be of reasonable quality too. Seem to have settled on the red tint for the moment but dont think the colour really makes that much difference to me, I'd sooner not wear any but the clay ground insist on them.

I wouldnt put them in your eyes Topgun glasses are good for the money, At the end of the day, any glasses are better than no glasses, Different coloured lenses will make the clays stand out better in different conditions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Canis Posted August 9, 2012 Report Share Posted August 9, 2012 Theres two issues here: 1 protecting your eyes from the plethora of clay fragments or rebounded shot.ejected cartridge cases etc 2 enhancing your sight of the target. assuming that you do not need glases in everyday life the only way the glasses will assist with your aquisition of the target is by the lens colour - dark lenses may assist in bright sunlight particularly if theclay is in the direction of the sun, Yellow lenses help most people pick oot clays in the sky clays in gloomy conditions. The cheap interchangeable lens glasses i had seemed to ping out the lenses at the slightest provocation. in the end i figured that the lenses i actually used where the yellow or dark depending on if it was gloomy or sunny and bought separate pairs of glasses with yellow and dark lenses . If you are on a budget Clear safety glasses designed for the construction industry have the relavent BS accreditation and can be had for as little as a couple of quid per pair, with yellow and tinted lenses versions available , ( i recently bought 5 pairs of yellow lensed safety glasses for pupils under instruction on evilbay for £15 delivered) when they get scratched you dont mind chucking them away and buying a new pair. That said my own glasses are oakley Radar range and if you can afford to spend £££ on glasses then i would highly reccomend them - they seem to have vast surface area's without fogging up as bad as other cheaper glasses have for me in the past. If i were to scratch them however you would witness a grown man cry ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Poon Posted August 16, 2012 Report Share Posted August 16, 2012 (edited) They are a pain sometimes but when the clays break above you at a fast rate you can see why the glasses can be a must sometimes, I find these Oakleys don't slip at all around the bridge of the nose so very comfy for shooting with Edited August 16, 2012 by Willpoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
