Bradvinnie17 Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Anyone recommend a pair which won't break the bank? I want pair that il be able to stick a dot on the lens and still have my peripheral vision. Ones I'm using at the moment are naff. So what something tidy (stylish if possible) 🤣🤣 but really something that will do the job Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westley Posted December 30, 2023 Report Share Posted December 30, 2023 Search shooting glasses on the bay. Plenty on there, new or used. I have bought all of my Pilla lenses on there, and a second frame. 4 lenses and 2 frames have cost me around £200. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This - clear / amber / smoked all three for under £20 - ideal until you are settled in the sport. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also pays to check the fit of your ear defenders over the glasses arms. Edited December 31, 2023 by Westley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It also pays to check the fit of your ear defenders over the glasses arms. Also, you don't need to block out the whole gun. The muzzle end half of the barrels is sufficient to concentrate the other eye and also this keeps both eyes working until the gun is mounted and you're about to pull the trigger. Don't forget to take an overhead shot into account. Properly adjusted, you'll forget you have them on. Assuming a dominant left eye which is the one you'll have patched. DO NOT REVERSE THE CAR IF YOU DO SO LOOKING OVER YOUR LEFT SHOULDER WITH THEM ON. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve never seen a joiner using them yet; we certainly never did, hence the reason my kids and their friends used them when shooting each other with BB’s. 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
