Well I am running into a problem at the range,my eye sight is not the best,I wear a progressive prescription eye glass,having problem with them staying on at the range,I find that it is better for me to shoot with them off,but seem to have to blink a lot to get cross hair focused in,what do you guys find works best for you.should I try a good set of shooting glasses if so what is suggested.
 
Prescription Shooting Glasses

I haven't seen these in person, but I believe the "Ranger" is what I have seen being worn by Major Jim Land. If you're a sniper and have never heard of Major Jim Land, SHAME ON YOU!

(Note how the upper, inside corners of the lenses come close together, allowing for the axis of vision to be contained while shooting a rifle in various positions)

If contacts work for you they are my prefrence for shooting along with a pair of high end safety glasses like ESS, WileyX, or Oakley.
 
I use Randolph Ranger frames with interchangeable lenses for shooting. The Ranger frames move the lenses up on the face, so that when you are on a rifle or shotgun stock, you are looking through the middle of the lens. With normal frames, you are looking above the middle when the lens does not correct properly.

Brown for bright sun, Yellow for overcast/indoor, and Target Purple for Sporting Clays.

I get min from Morgan Optical.

The Morgan folks are shooters and will consult on colors for various shooting.
 
I like my Rudy Project glasses. The prescription lenses are behind the colored lenses. It is easy to change the outer color lenses, and if when I got a new script I only had to replace the corrective lenses. My daily wear are progressive lenses, but I went with bi-focal on my shooting glasses.

Not to hijack the thread or anything, but how do you keep your contacts from getting dry and blurry when looking through the scope? Seems like I have to keep making myself blink really often or else I have problems.
