My clay shooting glasses make me miss more!

My clay shooting glasses make me miss more!

Coloured lenses need to be optically correct.

My wife bought me a set of clay shooting glasses with different coloured lenses as a birthday present recently.

They certainly sharpen up the outline of the clays but I find I miss more targets when wearing them than I do when they’re off. Why should this be?

CLAY SHOOTING
John Bidwell
If you’re at all serious about your clay shooting then a set of coloured lenses should be standard kit and carried everywhere in case conditions demand them.

But their worth depends on the quality of the optics – poor quality glasses can actually distort your view of the target to the point where you don’t get a true image of it.

To discover if your glasses are at fault you should ask to try those of your friends’ and see if they make a difference.

If they do, then bin the ones you’ve got and go buy a better set.
