albertacoyoteCustom shooting glasses
Anyone have any recomendations for custom shooting glasses with a perscription in them?
Looking for a female shooter.

WinkI'm also looking for a female shooter, although I think the glasses I've got are sufficient for the purpose.

albertacoyoteWink,
Nice one there
I meant to say that I am researching this for one of the female shooters that I shoot with.

meteI got mine some years ago .There was a person who was a shooter at the local eyeglass place. Choices of color and darkness are made .Mine is light gray as I wanted no color distortions and just a bit of darkness to handle bright sun.The other point for shooters is that [for shotgun certainly] with head down on the stock you are looking through a corner of the lens [upper left portion ] rather than the center.This is not the same as a glass for pistol where you should [ !!] be looking through the lens center.It certainly helped that the man was a shooter. The glasses work very well.

redialIt depends entirely on what you're going to do with them. I use some glasses only for prone rifle, others for IPSC and still others for Bullseye or Service Rifle.
Some are prescription, some aren't depending on how well I can see a particular set of sights.
Decots are a fine choice to cover many bases.

Michael RobinsonThe best ones I have seen are made by Hidefspex or Zeiss.

Jeff WemmerRandolph Engineering "RE".....No inserts, glued-in Rx discs, etc. 100% "scrip" lenses...
...These are the glasses most worn by Clays shooters who need Rx corrections - the options for colors, gradients, bifocals are unlimited...
...Very comfortable to wear as well!

Cliff LyleI always wore Decot Hiwydes, even had some done with my Rx. Great glasses but were not as comfortable as I would have liked.
You say the RE's are more comfortable? Are they lighter in weight than the Decot?

Jeff WemmerI don't know about the weight, but the modern flex temples and better ear rests make me believe they will be more comfortable than the Hiwyds.
