    shooting glasses

    I am looking for suggestions advice on a new pair of shooting glasses. I am not ready to drop $700-$800 on a pair but the $15 ones I am currently using just aren't cutting it any more. I am looking for one that have interchangeable lens. Prices range is $200-$300.

    I prefer the ESS Crossbow Suppressor 2X+

    You get grey, copper, and clear lenses. You also get 2 frames - 1 for normal wear and 1 for earpro wear. A hard case which fits all pieces and lens rag comes with the kit. They also have 2 different optional RX inserts if you need prescription lenses.

    Depending on where you buy them, the 2X+ kit ranges between $75 and $130.

      Try the Randolph - Ranger XL glasses. They are well made and offer many different lenses in colors.

        I have a pair of Rangers and Oakley prisms for overcast days. I find more and more I am using the Oakleys.

              Not sure what you currently use, but I recently bought these -- http://www.amazon.com/Radians-T85-C-.../dp/B004D9WN9A -- Remington T85 Interchangeable lens kit. About $20-30 depending on the retailer. Comes with a nice little carrying case that I toss in my range bag, too. So far I've worn the clear lens for indoor shooting and the amber lens for outdoor. I know the ear pieces curve downward, which some people do not prefer, but they are still very comfortable and effective, IMHO, even with ear muffs.

              (BTW, what is a pair that costs $200-$300 made of?? Gold and diamonds??!!)

                No. But it does depend on the frame, whether or not you have a prescription, how many lenses are included, etc. Decot's start at like $200($500 for single vision Rx), Rudy project can be $200+(and another 100-200 for Rx lenses), oakleys cost an arm and a leg, and that's not really even getting into the customizable stuff where you can adjust lens position using hangers on a bar and such.

                  I've got a couple of different Randolph Rangers plus a set of Pillas and Rudys and all are good choices - looking into the new Oakley tombstone now -

                  In your range, a 3 lens ranger or falcon set would be a good bet.

                  For a long while I just shot with 3m safety glasses which were functional, but a quality interchangeable lens set does make a difference in comfort and vision.

                    I use Rangers and they do work well, Dave (trapperjohn) made the lenses.
                    Contact him first...

                        Wouldn't dream of shooting without eye protection, but I guess that's just me.

                          PM Trapperjohn first.

                          He did my prescription shooting glasses, frame included. Could not be happier.

                          Thanks again Dave!

                            I have a pair of Rudy Project Rydons and the lenses are great. Much more optically correct and distortion free than polycarbonate lenses.

                              Guess which squad member is not wearing Dave's lenses.
