Shooting Glasses

I have a hard time getting shooting glasses to fit. I find they do not sit high enough on the nose to clear my field of view.

..... Any suggestions?

I guess on-line is the obvious suggestion. That's how I bought mine and I've been very happy with them. The nose pieces can be formed for a higher positioning but I didn't need to.

The other thing to consider may be the fit of your shotgun. If the top of the frame of your glasses is getting in the way, that brings a picture to mind of someone leaning their head down and forward to get that good cheek weld we all talk about. I think you'll find that most experts would suggest your head should be upright - and the stock should be mounted to your cheek rather than your cheek beinging being welded to wherever the stock happens to sit. An adjustable comb may well allow you a more natural position of your head resulting in a clearer view through your lenses (and maybe even improved scores).

I wore Bausch & Lomb's for years, also had a set with interchangeable coloured lens by Remington. All was well until I needed prescription glasses, the optometrist made a pair that fit close that I do not look over or at the top of the frame.

IIRC a very long time back Bausch and Lomb used to be a popular choice with trap shooters. Their shooing glasses were mounted high and most optometrists could fit them with many different colour choices. I had a dark clear and a yellow pair. Worked fine but when I tried my first pair of Hy wIde Decots I changed and for the 45 years that is all I use. When my prescription changes I just phoned it in and they mail new lenses to me.
