aris Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 Shot some clays Friday morning wih the sun shining in my face. Had a hard time seeing he clays as their flight path literally crossed the sun. Any recommendations on sunglasses which help in this scenario with black or orange clays? I wear prescription glasses - so i'm thinking contact lenses with some sort of shooting or regular sunglasses on top may be best. Does polarisation help here?

Churchill Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 i wear prescription glasses as well, just wear prescription sun glasses and decide to shoot the clay before or after it passes the sun just don't swing the gun through the sun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
figgy Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 You can get good shooting glasses that take a rx prescription insert. Or could try clip on sun lenses. Some of my mates use the barrels to cover the sun and watch flight of clay to barrels then mount and shoot. I'm more of use dark lenses.

aris Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Thanks for the input. Any particular sort of sunglasses lenses though? Do you think polarized glasses would help? I'm thinking not as they typically help more with reflections. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 I use coloured lense's with prescription a lense's insert. Top gun sell the this type of glasses as do other suppliers. There is optician in Stevenage market who understands shooting/sports lense's, where you need the centre/meat of the optic at the top of the lense as you have your head down, similar to the snooker player, Dennis Taylor? He makes them for Cyclist etc who require the same veiw. If you need a contact number please let me know via PM. Cheers Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aris Posted February 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Does the coloured lens help with direct sunlight though? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJN Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 (edited) I have a number of Oakley lenses that I use for differing light conditions, for direct sun I use black iridium , http://www.theintern...sunglass_lenses Edited February 18, 2013 by MJN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

figgy Posted February 18, 2013 Report Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yes the dark lenses help with the sun, I use hi def spex and have 25%&15% light transmition depending on how bright the sun is. Using the brown 15 lens I can watch the clay right across the sun but lose it slightly as it passes it untill eyes adjust only a split second. Best to try someone's at a ground, even holding them in front of your glasses,see if they are right for you. Figgy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, they are not photosensitive Description :- "Extremely bright light. Excellent all-purpose lens for sunny conditions. Offers truer color perception. Features an Iridium coating to reduce glare."
