Lucklogic Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Hi, are members aware of a good optician who caters to the shooting community. I have tried the high street and got nowhere. Located in Devon or Cornwall a big advantage Happy New year to all Edited January 16, 2019 by Lucklogic Missing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MarcMaxus Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 (edited) Funnily enough I was looking into this too and was struggling. Wanted a more wrap around/sporty style just for shooting/hunting. Just something that would do the job but not cost a fortune. I found them at Asda opticians!

Salopian Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Try to find an Optician who is interested or plays Cricket . Lots of the science involved in shooting optics crosses over to other sports . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wb123 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 My last few places have been chosen for their ability to work on some loupes but the last chap was definitely keen to talk shooting (I have never felt the need to use anything other than my usual glasses).

Scully Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Gave the title a double take; thought someone had been shot! I would think most opticians would be perfectly capable of helping regardless of whether they shot or not, I’m not sure any would spevialise in such a narrow field as shooting. My optician was a great help regarding a master eye issue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diss4111 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Stewards of Bisley are located down that way somewhere. i think it is more Bristol way but they know all about shooting glasses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know that most people think that Plymouth is within 30 mins drive from Bristol when in fact its further away than Birmingham to London!
