Anybody know an optometrist in NH that can hook one up with prescription glasses for shooting? |

If you normally wear glasses, here is a cheaper and very effective solution. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001925SZU These are glasses that fit over your Rx glasses and protect them and your face from flying shell cases. The tint is also useful for contrast. They do come in clear and other tints as well. I originally did dedicated shooting glasses. Very expensive plus if I tried walking around with them still on, I was practically tripping on myself . . . they were cut for shooting distances, not for normal walking, etc. |

I only do cheap readers right now, but they are annoying when I shoot. I don't have a prescription for bifocals or progs. I would think the short distance part of the bifocal/progressives would be best at the length of the front sight, not the typical reading distance. Very few optometrists profiled in the area shooting and when they do it's kinda limited to selling non-prescription protective wear.. My guess is that as a career, it may be more oriented toward the greater Boston area woke type that either wants nothing to do with or abhors shooting. |

It might be worthwhile calling around and asking about it if you haven't already. My Optometrist is Sheila Hasty at Valley Vision in Lebanon. I'm certain that if I asked her about prescription shooting glasses that she'd be accommodating. If you're not too far away you might give them a call. |
