Max Michel Signature Series Sawfly Typically reserved for Max himself, Signature Series eyepro kits from the champion shooter’s private stock are available for your purchase. The Max Michel Signature Series Sawfly Eyewear Kit features a custom high-contrast Mocha lens and is the exact kit that Max brings with him on competition day. All 4 performance-enhancing lenses are laser etched with Max’s signature “MM” logo. http://www.revisioneyewear.com/store/ma ... ichel.html I am thinking about picking up this set. |

Today's shooting glasses come in many different lens colors from clear to vermillion. Below is a guide for choosing lens colors for different sky conditions, target colors and backgrounds. Recommended Lenses for Shooting Glasses - Low Light Conditions Clear - Best for poor lighting and shooting indoors when no contrast is needed. Also, an excellent safety lens when hand loading. Pale Yellow - The lens has a brightening effect in low light conditions, dusk or dawn. A very light color tint allows this lens to be used indoors, outdoors, in flat light or at night. Yellow - Great lens choice for overcast foggy days or late afternoon. Good lens for rifle or pistol shooting with black and white targets. Can be used while shooting at an indoor range. Medium Yellow - Maximum enhancement of orange clay targets in low light conditions. Recommended Lenses for Shooting Glasses - Average Light Conditions Sunset Orange - Ideal for bright, hazy conditions. Slightly darker than orange, helps absorb scattered blue light and provides contrast. Also, enhances visual acuity. Orange - Excellent all around lens for orange clay targets. Enhances the orange of any target on dull cloudy days, and at dusk or dawn. Vermillion - Traditional choice for shooting against green backgrounds. Highlights conditions where there is a poor background. Highlights orange and dampens green. Good lens for those who see orange targets poorly. Light Purple - This lens provides excellent contrast of orange targets against green backgrounds or against the sky. Combines grey and vermillion. It dampens the green and enhances the orange target against trees. Recommended Lenses for Shooting Glasses - Intense Light Conditions Deep Purple - Darker than Purple- this lens is a good choice for very bright sunlight and provides great contrast of orange targets against a deep blue sky. An excellent lens for glare reduction. Brown - This lens reduces brightness and gives good definition of orange targets. A good all around lens for shooting orange targets on bright glaring days with open background. Bronze - Offers high contrast for bright, glaring days with open background. Good choice for hunting in snow conditions. Grey - Reduces light and transmits all colors at the same level. Does not enhance orange targets. Use in bright sunlight. Popular choice for rifle or pistol shooters. |

I usually wear my Flak Jacket Oakleys with VR28 Black Iridium lens. They cut glare and intensify contrasts in light.

I wear my prescription safety glasses. They have bifocals top and bottom, as a millwright I need to see at all angles and these are fine for shooting also.
Those look like some fine glasses, ravengunsmith. I may have to throw some business your way. |

krag just touched on something that is often overlooked .
i don't care what the maker says or claims unless they are marked Z87 they are not safe to shoot with. using glasses that are not properly rated can lead to more serious eye injury. so you are far better off going to the hardware store and buying cheap Z87 rated saftey glasses then fancy expensive non rated specs. |
