Shooting Sunglasses

Sharpen Your Focus, Sharpen Your Aim: Shooting Sports Sunglasses Perfected at Empire Optical

Hitting the bullseye or shattering clays demands unwavering focus and precision. But when blinding sunlight glares off your target or the range, even the most skilled shooter can struggle. That’s where Empire Optical comes in. We offer a variety of shooting sports sunglasses specifically designed to enhance your vision, eliminate distractions, and elevate your performance.

Why Invest in Shooting Sports Sunglasses?

Regular sunglasses might seem sufficient, but shooting sports sunglasses provide distinct advantages:

  • Unmatched Clarity and Enhanced Contrast: Unlike everyday shades, shooting sports sunglasses boast high-quality, impact-resistant lenses with specialized coatings. These coatings enhance color definition and provide exceptional clarity, allowing you to see your target with razor-sharp focus.
  • Reduced Glare and Eye Strain: Glare bouncing off your surroundings can disrupt your focus and tire your eyes. Shooting sports sunglasses feature lenses that cut through glare, minimizing distractions and allowing you to maintain concentration throughout your session.
  • Superior Protection from the Elements: Empire Optical carries shooting sports sunglasses crafted from Polycarbonate and Trivex, two champions in eye protection:
    • Polycarbonate: This lightweight powerhouse offers superior impact resistance, shielding your eyes from stray pellets, shotgun shells, or flying debris on the range. It also blocks harmful UV rays, protecting your eyes during long days outdoors.
    • Trivex: This newer material boasts exceptional clarity, scratch resistance, and superior optics compared to Polycarbonate. Ideal for serious shooters who demand the best possible visual experience.

Choosing the Right Lens Material, Color, and Mirror Coating for Your Shooting Discipline

Empire Optical’s lens experts will guide you through the perfect combination of material, color, and mirror coating based on your specific shooting discipline:

  • Lens Material:
    • Polycarbonate: The most popular choice for its affordability, lightweight comfort, and excellent impact resistance and UV protection.
    • Trivex: Ideal for shooters who prioritize superior optics, clarity, and scratch resistance, especially when navigating brush or target stands.
  • Lens Color: The optimal tint depends on light conditions:
    • Bright Sun with Clay Targets: Opt for high-contrast lenses like orange or clay brown. These enhance the orange hue of clay targets against the background, allowing for quicker and more precise acquisition.
    • Bright Sun with Paper Targets: Consider lenses with a neutral tint like gray or brown. These provide excellent sun protection while maintaining clear color perception for paper targets.
    • Low Light: For target shooting during dawn or dusk, yellow or rose-colored lenses are ideal. They enhance contrast and depth perception in low-light conditions.
  • Mirror Coating: This additional layer on the lens can further enhance your focus:
    • Bright, Sunny Conditions: A gold or silver mirror coating reflects more light, reducing glare and eye strain, allowing you to see your target more clearly.
    • Variable Light: For disciplines transitioning between sun and shade, consider a rose gold mirror coating.It offers a balance of light reduction and color perception.
