Shooting Glasses

Since each shooting color works best in a certain type of environment, the best shooting glasses depend on what you plan to use the shooting glasses for. 

For instance, orange is extremely popular because of its high definition, providing sharp focus while shooting on a cloudy day. 

Purple is also a popular choice as it creates a neutral background, perfect for most light conditions. 

Clear glasses are also a staple. These glasses are perfect for shooting in the woods or for practicing indoor shooting activities.

Yellow shooting glasses are excellent for when you are shooting in the woods or losing light late in the day. What these lens colors do is create an extreme case of contrast that dramatically increases your ability to define objects and edges. This is why they’re better suited for low visibility, and overcast and dark conditions. 

With many of our shooting glasses, you have the option of adding the anti-fog feature in the lens coating selections on the website. What this does is keep your glasses from fogging up, which is extremely important as you need to approach shooting with non-obscured vision. 

You can simply select these options when you customize your glasses to ensure the ultimate level of safety and protection.
