Sporting Clays Shooting Glasses

armcandy
I have recently started shooting Sporting Clays.

I have been told shooting glasses might help me see the birds but do not know the color or why one color is better that the other.

Any help would appreciated.

    Same as for any outdoor use. Blue or grey probably are best for bright sunshine to reduce the available light . Yellow for overcast days to make things brighter.
    You also want them to be shatterproof to protect your eyes. Any sunglasses will work but the better the optical quality the better you can see.

    There are a whole host of shades for differant lighting conditions and clay colors/and backgrounds. There are usually several vendors at the larger shoots that sell them. Post 4 Optics comes to mind in our area.



    Your mileage may vary.

    Stick with a time proven glasses made for shooters by shooters. Go to (decot.com). I have been using their glasses for over 20years and their service is imaculate. I have faxed them a scrip and had the new lense in 3days.

    everyone seems to be focusing on the color,(pardon the punn.) color is important, yes, but the frame is the most important. you want a pr of glasses that have a high frame above your eyelashes so that when you tip your head to line up the rib on the target the target doesnt hide in the frame and get lost.
    a good pr of shotgun glasses will look like they are sitting way high on your nose way above your brow.
    if you shoot orange targets, try a pink/red lense. it will turn the target into a flaming target!
    hope this helps.

    I go with what others have said here. Personally, I never cared much for the amber lenses as everything seems sort of unreal, altho the targets show up. I like either photogray or polarized lenses. Remember, a lot of courses will "hide" the target in the afternoon sun or out over water reflections. You do want a good pair of frames like bobski said and also they should have long enough bows and be somewhat rugged(everthing gets jambed in your shooting bag, ect)

    I have used Decot for over 30 years. I use "target brown" for about all conditions except night, then clear with 10 percent gold tint. Get a good pair and stay away from the "junk", Good frames with interchangeable lens will last for many years.

    I second Bobski. I've looked at targets through Rose lenses. It lights 'em on fire.

    I use prescription photogrey/polarized; however, I'd like to find a pair of glasses that hits more clays......
