New shooting Glasses

[Scott in Houston]

This is the first I've heard of this type of shooting glasses.

I have a question about wearing these in general...

Doesn't this go against the 'practice as you carry' theory? In other words, if you're using these for competition and/or fun, but are one day (God forbid) put in a situation where you need to defend yourself, you will likely be wearing no glasses or regular glasses. You would be forced to adjust to that 'new normal' after having shot with your special shooting glasses for so long.

Scott,

I am not sure who you were addressing in particular, but my shooting glasses are in my prescription - it turned out that the most comfortable/workable Rx for my safety glasses was my full distance Rx - (I have bifocal lenses - old stinks )

As far as "practice as you carry" these will be very close to that, moreso than what I am doing now which is wearing a second pair of safety glasses over my Rx lenses. My daily glasses are small and don't offer a lot of protection other than straight on; however they are a transition type lens as the new glasses I am getting are as well. Right now, I have several pair of safety glasses that fit over my regular glasses depending upon the conditions I am shooting in. Indoor - clear or yellow, outdoor - dark or yellow depending upon the level of light. This is a not so comfortable combo with ear protection on at some of the classes I attend where I am wearing this combo for 3 hours or more.

I would think the full sound of the gun blast would be more of an adjustment than the different glasses JMPHO> and Lord willing I will never have to experience this in real life, but practice as much as possible so my muscle memory will take over where the adrenaline covers up.

Thanks for the response. It was just a general question. You addressed it well. :)

I agree about the gun blast itself being
I just figure, minimizing any adjustments is key and it sounds like these aren't a compromise in that respect like I originally thought.

BTW, remember there's "audio exclusion" for many people in this situation. You basically don't hear the shot. I've experienced that with deer hunting when I've seen a monster buck that I knew I had to shoot quickly and accurately.
I don't think it's guaranteed we would experience audio exclusion, but probably likely.
