There are an estimated 30,000 firearm related eye injuries annually. Our range of shooting glasses has been selected to ensure that risk of eye injury is all but eliminated whilst ensuring maximum vision is maintained, with enhanced target contrast and reduced visual fatigue from glare.

Normal sunglasses or everyday spectacles will not give sufficient protection. All our shooting glasses-prescription and non prescription-feature high impact resistant polycarbonate or the manufacture's own superior specialist material e.g. ImpactX from Rudy Project. All are 100% UV absorbing even in the clear lens form.

Lenses for shooting spectacles come in a wide range of tint colours designed to suit differering conditions. All our range allow for interchangeable lenses and some come packaged with upto 5 different coloured lenses as standard.

The following broad categories will cover the benefits of most lens tints

GREY/SMOKE: Effective at blocking glare without changing colour perception, therefore does not enhance the target but is good in bright sunlight

BROWN/AMBER: Good at blocking the uncomfortable blue end of the spectrum commonlly found in the diffused light from a partially cloudy sky. Can improve contrast and is a good all round choice for hunting and shooting.

RED/VERMILLION/ROSE: Ideal in moderate light. Especially good at enhancing the orange of the target agaist a poor backgoud such as trees. Sometimes takes a little getting used to.

YELLOW: Designed for poor or low light. It reduces the effect of haze by blocking blue light, whilst enhancing the orange of the target.

ORANGE: Perfect for overcast days, it also enhances contrast. A hybrid between yellow and vermillion.

BLUE: Chromatically designed to enhance the colour of the clay against the sky and reducing discomfort glare.

Personal preference and experience is still a good guide.

Shooting spectacles with lenses that wrap around for complete coverage obviously give maximum protection. But for those shooters who prefer the classic Aviator style, our glasses feature extra large lenses that give excellent coverage and unobstructed vision. Usually they also feature height adjustable bridges and comfort curl sides for a perfect firm fit.
