Wasn't sure where to put this.

In the gunsmithing section there is a thread about a failed case and a lot of posters noted they don't usually wear eye protection but thought they might start. Some noted they haven't found glasses that work well with shooting.

While they are not cheap, I suggest the Randolph Ranger XL's.

The nose bridge is adjustable so that you can get closer to the optical center depending on how your face and eye lines up on the stock.

If you need prescription lenses for those Ranger frames, you should get them done by a shooter, not your usual lens maker.

Allan Lehman in Arizona is tops. He'll make sure your lens is ground so the correction is in the right spot. When your face in on the stock of a rifle or shotgun you are likely looking out of a different spot on the lens than you would if you were just standing up walking forward, or shooting a pistol.

Hope this helps someone use eye protection.

Allan Lehman is kind of a gruff salty dog, but is well worth the effort. You can probably google his contact info (Lehman Optical).
