Nick, my apologies for the delayed reply. I went back and forth in my mind about this question, and ultimately presented it to someone from Randolph. This was their take on it:. However, what we typically see in hunting is as follows: Yellow: This helps brighten the scene and allows more light to enter your eye cloudy day. However it will not do anything to the background you are shooting against. HD Light: The reds helps define black targets, but it will not necessarily highlight them.
Usually you want to allow as much light in as you possibly can while hunting, so Pale Yellow and Max Light would also be good, but again, they are meant for picking up clay targets. None of these will really help on a bright day as far as reducing eye fatigue, as they are all light lenses. Occasionally shooters will use HD Medium for the brighter days. It will reduce the strain on your eyes, but it will also add pink tones into your background.
We need to separate that from the sky background in both sunny and cloudy conditions. You might start by trying to reduce blue light as much as possible. Doing this will sharpen your view. The more blue you remove, the sharper your view should be. The drawback to copper or orange especially orange is the overall color distortion.
But since your goal here is to make a distinction between the shot cloud and the sky, perhaps color is not important. Obviously brighter skies will warrant darker lenses, but the idea is the same. Good luck. I have just bought a green tinted lens that is percent uv.
These glasses are amazing. Details jump out they are incredibly relaxing to wear. Glare is gone. They are clearly blocking some kind of irratating light. So far i have not found out what rays.
Long ago before uv blockers green tinted glasses were common. Now you rairly see them. Do you know what light rays they block? Our eyes love the color green and are the most sensitive to that portion of the light spectrum. Green lenses transmit more Green light which increases your visual acuity and feels soothing to your eyes. Green lenses offer multiple benefits over traditional Gray and Brown lenses, such as providing better contrast than Gray lenses and better color accuracy than Brown lenses.
With these advantages, its surprising the popularity of Green lenses has gone down. All your info was a great help. Would regular optical houses have the lenses I need? The padding cushions the frame against your face in case the gun recoils too far. This also helps to keep out wind and dust. The temples of shooting glasses often are designed with spring hinges that allow the frame to flex without breaking when recoil occurs.
Temples also wrap around the ear in the "cable" style to help keep the frame in place, and the tips of the temples may feature rounded ends to enhance comfort. Nose pads are adjustable so that the frame rests in the optimum position, and soft silicone pads often are used for additional comfort. Some shooting glasses feature bridges that adjust to one of several locking positions so that the glasses are positioned just right for any shot.
The frames are constructed of any number of ophthalmic materials, including titanium and other metals, regular plastic and tough polycarbonate. Polycarbonate lenses with a scratch-resistant hard coat and built-in ultraviolet protection have been the lenses of choice for shooting glasses for many years. This lens material is highly impact-resistant to provide you with maximum "blow-back" and "bounce-back" protection.
Many nonprescription shooting glasses come with several pairs of interchangeable lenses for use under different lighting and atmospheric conditions. The various shades are for shooting in different lighting conditions.
You can get some that are similar to sunglasses, — these are great for extreme brightness, such as sunny days in winter, over frosted or snowy ground. You also get those with purpley-blue tints, which are great for picking up orange against a green background.
In other words — perfect for trap shooters who have tall trees or hills as their backdrop. Yellow and orange glasses are great for increasing contrast. These are brilliant for a few reasons. As I mentioned before, I never really bought into the higher contrast for better shooting theory. I thought it was just something else to spend money on. However, having recently been bought a pair for my birthday, I am thoroughly convinced.
Of course safety glasses of some description are mandatory on pistol ranges. It's amazing how many hunters get hit with an errant birdshot or a ricochet. Even excessive powder can blow back and burn your eyes. Eyewear will also protect eyes when spent cartridges are ejected from the firearm.
Even the flash of a muzzle can cause damage. Many people wear ear protection when using firearms. We should value our eyesight as highly as our hearing. Even when the firearm is not in use, there are other hazards that can potentially harm an individual's eyes. When in a thick wooded area, stray branches, twigs, and leaves can also damage your eyes. Even when cleaning a firearm it's a good idea to wear glasses to protect the eyes from cleaning solvents or springs that can come loose.
