jtielke Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I use the Magsters and sometimes Rydons. The Magsters have thinner arms. They work well for 3 gun, the adjustable nose piece lets you get them higher up if you're shooting a prone stage so the frame isn't in your way. When I ran a red fiber optic I used the ImpactX Photochromic Red lenses. They worked well in almost all light conditions. I still carried a set of clear lenses in case we had to do something like shoot in a cave or at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRUBL Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I use Bolle' and really like them.....but glasses are so personal. I do like a rose colored lens.....yes....rose colored glasses. They give just enough shade from the sun and make orange stand out like fire in the dark. I've been told by eye doctors, that darker shades can actually cut your reaction time.....however, it's measured in milliseconds....so it is probably a non issue. I personally never liked dark shades, settled on rose colored (pink) and it works on cloudy days, sunny days, inside, etc. good all around. I say 'good' all around.....as I am sure there is no "great" all around lens. Disclaimer......I am colorblind and i have a problem seeing orange in the grass and bushes.....so the rose colored glasses are a must for me.

WFB Posted January 24, 2013 Share Posted January 24, 2013 I recently changed to the Rudy's Genetyk. I prefer the single lense rather than two separate lenses. They are really comfortable and are really clear. I have the racing red color and the clear for dark houses etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lead-Head Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 (edited) Any decent sunglasses that are not too dark, lightweight, have silicon nose rest, don't rub behind ears, and hopefully make me look cooler than I am. Bad, or uncomfortable eyewear can really make a 3 day match less enjoyable. Edited January 25, 2013 by Lead-Head Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swandme Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 I had a couple of pair of Sun Buster " Dude " models and I really liked them because the bows were very thin and made of coated bendable wire and they would take the shape of your head and no pain from wearing Muffs all day. Sadly the are no longer available Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbird1976 Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Check out XX2i Optics. The glasses are lightweight, inexpensive, and have great lenses. I like them as good as my Rudy's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boxerglocker Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I currently use RX Oakley Flak Jackets as my primaries with 2 sets of extra lenses. However, the Rudy Rydons are a great bargain with the discount, I use then with the RX insert as my backups in the range bag. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoCalNoMore Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 If you really want good eye ball protection, take a look at the smith optics aegis protective glasses. I could not find and projectile impact stats for the Rudys.

daves_not_here Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 I like light red also. Everything looks better through rose colored glasses...HONEST! Don't forget to consider Wiley X. DNH Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

larry weeks Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Decot. They are shooters. Made a set for me with the dominant eye lens set up to focus on the pistol front sight, off eye handles distance. Works great. Front sight is in focus, so is the target. Not cheap. Very thin, wire bows that work well under muffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very thin, wire bows that work well under muffs. Same here. I ended up with multiple lenses and colors to cover everything from iron sights to optics and day or night. Easy to change lenses and comfortable under muffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt1911 Posted January 30, 2013 Share Posted January 30, 2013 Rudy Projects are pretty damn nice, but they also have a Helluva price tag on em. I recently got a pair of Wiley-X Guard glasses, they're great, especially for about $65 on Amazon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ten-X Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 I have a pair of Randolph Rangers. The lenses are amazing. I went with them because I could get my prescription made into the lense. I don't like looking through two lenses, especially in the heat and humidity. Pilla is another brand that a lot of the shotgunners like. I looked into them but they have a Rx insert.

I can see my front sight with my pistol, as well as see the distant targets with Rifle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

barneyb Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 Has any one tried http://www.esseyepro.com I have two pair of ESS Crossbows and they work fine for shooting pistol. However, the prescription insert is fairly small which causes me a problem with shooting rifle. You end up looking through the upper corner of the RX. Since these need to be taken apart to be cleaned, they probably don't get cleaned as often as they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShooterSteve Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I swear by my Rudy's. I'd had them two years, and I got hit in the face by a soccer ball. (They are extremely dangerous by the way and I hear they may be banned) Anyhow, Rudy replaced all the lenses, the frame parts that keep them together and some other small parts, and only charged me $15 for shipping. This was on TWO YEAR OLD PESCRIPTION GLASSES. I'm a customer for life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swandme Posted February 28, 2013 Author Share Posted February 28, 2013 I ordered up some ESS " Supressor" Glasses as they are the thinest I have found to wear with Muffs I will let you know how I like them in a few weeks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
