ysrracer Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I know there are a few other threads about this, but they seem to devolve into glasses recommendations. I've already got Randolph Ranger frames that I use to shoot shotguns with. In clays we use purple to make the orange clay "pop". What color makes red fiber optic "pop".

anonymouscuban Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I found yellow lenses made red FO pop the most. I where orange for my green FO. That's my personal experience, not a peer reviewed study so I could be wrong.Sent from my SM-G930U using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillGarlandJr Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 The Racing Reds for Rudys are great, and if you're an Oakley guy like myself, the prizm lenses work really well too. My current combo is the Prizm lenses with a green fiber. Super quick to pick up without being so bright its distracting for more precise shots.

limitedgun Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Have you thought about trying a different color fiber? Many men have color deficiencies in their vision and are better served looking for the right color fiber. I am red/green color blind. I might as well paint a red fiber with carbon black on the sunniest day. Bit with a green fiber and my Hunter's HD Gold glasses it becomes too bright some days.

ysrracer Posted July 28, 2019 Author Share Posted July 28, 2019 I ended up with Randolph Ranger vermilion, which is their version of pink/red. It worked out best for me. I'm having Morgan Optical make me a pair of lenses with no correction in my left eye, and .75 in my right. The frint sight is crystal clear, and so is the target. They should be here tomorrow. I'll let you guys know how they work out. I shoot with both eyes open, and look at the target, but see the red fiber optic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doc88 Posted July 30, 2019 Share Posted July 30, 2019 I would agree that clear lenses would be best for indoor regardless of fiber color. However, racing red and green FO is a great combo outside on a sunny day. Cloudy day go back to a clear lens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RawTime Posted August 15, 2019 Share Posted August 15, 2019 I see a lot of people saying Oakley prisms. However there are many Oakley prism lenses. In most colors. I have found, being In Arizona, that the trail lens works really well for me. I also use the shooting lens they make (tr44 and 27 I think) for the tombstones and other models. My friend was a manager so I got to try diff ones for cheap and that’s my 2cents. But where you live and what you shoot in matters. If you are in greener areas( brush/tree) then the golf lens might be better, for instance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have both the outfield and road but have been using the outfield the most. I also have jade polarized but they are super super dark. Haven't tried them on the range yet. I'm in AZ also. Btw I've been using green fo on my single stack gun. Seems to work well with my lenses. Not so overpowering that it's distracting but bright enough that it's hard to miss (seeing the green dot that is, not miss the target ).

RandyBaker Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 I just recently got the Golf Prizm which is a Purpleish tiny. They seem to work well for me seeing the .front sight. There not real real dark , kinda medium tint. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aforum55 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Fresh piece of fiber always helps the situation. I like the Prism lense when shooting irons but especially when shooting a red dot. This makes the dot really "pop". It's probably a personal preference to most. Try a couple pair at the range when you see a fellow competitor using them. Now that you know which options to look for the best decision will be the one you like most! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In essence slowing down my shooting. Well not really, I was just throwing hopers down range and hoping for the best. I blacked out the rears and all is now good. Not my idea but the trainer we were with. He also discovered the front co-witness red fibre iron on my wife’s open gun were showing up as a 2nd “dot”. Quick cut and not more wtf moments on her part. the HD golds are great for our evenings at the range given the shorter daylight this time of the time year Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
