I've seen pictures of precision shooters ( actually in one of the CSSA ads) using glasses that consist of a frame with lens on a stem that goes into a cross bar at eyebrow level.This apparently allows for the height and angle of the optical center of the lens to be lined up with the shooter's eye and the sights. Anyone know where you can buy those frames?

There are at least two companies making these glasses - Champion and Knobloch. They are close in price and features. There are Canadian dealers but you'll have to poke around the competitive shooting market to find out who.
I have a third lens - one for prone sighting, one for the spotting scope and a third to look around or watch the flags. It is aligned like a normal lens for my right eye. Everything adjusts with a fine Allen key. Mine have a screw up/down bridge, and spring wire eyepieces. I also got a detachable cone fitting to better centre the sighting lens in its optical centre. Get the hard case because these are a lifetime purchase.
My optomitist kept calling it an appliance when I explained what I needed. I told him it was to focus at infinity and then add a margin more correction for acuity. He had fun submitting a claim for glasses with 3 lenses.
