uscbigdawg Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Rudy Laser Red lenses are great for the above situations. They tend to cut through the haze and just make everything nice and sharp. As the light gets brighter during the day though, I'll switch out to a smoke or Blue reflective lens (forget the name of it). It definitely keeps things crystal clear and trims down the brightness substantially. I just try to have my eyes relaxed with whatever level of tint I'm going for. When it's bright or gray out, your eyes (at least to me) seem to be working "too" hard to find targets and focus them. By finding the right level of tint, your eyes can relax and as such pick up objects more quickly. I figured this out on the range, but verified since the job change on board Blackhawks. Yeah we have our visors, but I like the air on my face so most times it's visor(s) up and Rudy's on. Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colt22man Posted February 3, 2011 Share Posted February 3, 2011 I wear Rudy Project glasses with red lens. I also have clear and smoke lens. I like the daylight contrast on the tanneutral targets the red lens provide. The target tanneutral color appears to jump out at me with the red lens.

Jonathan Taliani Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I use clear presently, but want to pick up some Rudy's with the chromatic red lenses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirveyr Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 Rudy Project Rydons with either Racing Red or the Photo Clear. I am really digging the Photo Clear as of late. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg Bell Posted October 13, 2011 Share Posted October 13, 2011 I recently added the photochromic clears to my set of Rudy glasses as well. They work great on my clubs range some of our bays have no cover and others are full shade. I never have any eye strain or squinting due to light conditions.

sig228 Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I've had good success with the Wiley X shooting glasses with the clear lenses. Colored lenses look nice, but I wanted the clearest shooting picture as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AggieMM Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I really the Oakley G26 lens, have it in my M-Frame. But for low-light/night matches, yellow seems to work best for me. Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blaster113 Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Oakley guy here; VR28 is a great all around lens that is available in different frame styles. It gives good contrast yet is not too dark. When it gets overcast/dark in goes the clear lens. Recently switched to the G30 in my Half Jackets for shooting, contrast is a little better than the VR28, and... chicks dig it haha. Going to get the G30 for my Radar also. The G30 has a light subtle purplish tint which seems to make the cardboard targets and the iron sights stand out. Just enough tint to reduce glare from the sun but not too much to make small stuff hard to see. I found the Oakley orange (Persimmon) to be too harsh during regular daylight, and the yellow even more so.

jualdeaux Posted November 10, 2012 Share Posted November 10, 2012 (edited) I wear the Rudy Rydon multi laser red. I like how they increase the contrast and make the red FO pop. Indoors I use clear lenses. Edited November 10, 2012 by jualdeaux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JimM Posted November 11, 2012 Share Posted November 11, 2012 With the current crop of lenses, what seems to work best with a green FO front sight for sharp contrast on the target? I have bifocals with a Rx insert in my ESS shooting glasses. Right now I have a clear lense for indoor/overcast conditions and a dark lense for sunny conditions. Thanks.

SoCalNoMore Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 With the current crop of lenses, what seems to work best with a green FO front sight for sharp contrast on the target? I have bifocals with a Rx insert in my ESS shooting glasses. Right now I have a clear lense for indoor/overcast conditions and a dark lense for sunny conditions. Thanks. Jim I have found that a light/med yellow lens really make the green dawson FO front stand out nicely when shooting outdoors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Roscoe09292010 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yellow in just about all light conditions. The contrast help me see the cardboard perf better (and sometimes the number if I am close enough), so I'm not just aiming at brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orangeman711 Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 I've been using the persimmon shade in my Oakley M frames and they work very well for me. They give me just the right amount of contrast and work equally well in both bright and low light conditions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unregistered Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Persimmon transitions in my Oakley Radars, and Ignitor in my Smith Aegis. Makes the targets pop much more against green berms than a grey lens. Clear indoors! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaxshooter Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 You should wear the lightest color lens that will keep you from squinting. I wear Rudy Project Photo Clears 90 % of the time and the Racing Red the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeinrichDerLowe Posted June 3, 2013 Share Posted June 3, 2013 I'm rather pleased with my Oakley RadarPath VR50 Photochromic. The lenses are a bronze/red that fade to nearly clear in low light. I also like the vents along the top of the lens that allow moisture to escape rather than condensing on hot/humid days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
