Sunglases for Compound

[ben_e71]

First sunny day shooting my compound. Found with my cheapo sunglasses could not see the target through the peep / scope missed target.

Took sunglasses off amazing can see target and hit target.

I am addicted to wearing sunglasses (I blame wearing contact lenses and the fact I have slight photo sensitivity which makes my eyes water and me sneeze).

So can anyone recommend a decent set of sunglasses I can use for shooting (Oakley and the like - maybe a set with removable lenses) including pointing me towards the lens colours.

Please don't recommend those x-loop dross on e-bay as I've seen those and they are pants.

I wear aviator Ray Bans and they work well for me, they have a brown lens, I too have light sesitive eyes and these work like their name. I also have some RAF pilot shades with round green lenses and wrap around ear legs, they are superb, but my wife says I look like a visually impaired person!! but not in as many words!!

Oakley Radar sunglasses, you have to make sure they are on your nose properly though, or the nose grip gets in the way of the peep, mind you I shot a 333 for my first winter frostbite this morning with them on.

I use Maui Jim sunglasses. The Breakwater or Sandbar are probably the best for shooting in as they are sort-of visor type and both come in three different colours. The depth of field is amazing and they can be found here www.mauijim.com

Well I can't speak for everyone but as I said in my post the cheapo sunglasses I have don't allow me to see the target through the combination of peep and scope.

So is the distilled answerI need polarised?

Mine are and they work well in varying light conditions.
