Clubman Shooting Spectacles - British Made!

[mikec4]

A well known local pistol shooter has always shot with a variety of ready made reading glasses ( probably chosen the same way as suggested above) with various treatments to the non aiming eye piece ( masking tape, rubbing the lens with wet and dry paper to make it opaque etc), but when he tested mine he also found the benefit that the optional iris gave as it helped the head to remain in the same position every time.

He has now actually parted with some cash and bought himself a pair - quite an achievement for a life long miser who has made do with his £2.99 special's for years!

He's adamant that he never pays more than £1 for a pair of "shooting glasses" and replaces them at regular intervals. The clubroom is littered with a selection of these items, modified as described with masking tape,
etc.

I'm not sure if any survived last weekend's work party when the range and clubhouse was cleaned to within an inch of its life and many items of (s)crap were removed from the premises.

It will be interesting to see this major investment.....

I get them from Poundland. There’s a clue in the name. 😄

Even prescription glasses don't always correct astigmatism.... I thought my red-dot sights were fuzzy because they were cheap, until I saw the YouTube video and realised I had an astigmatism.

I had an eye test a few weeks ago as I thought my sight in my shooting (right) eye was deteriorating.

The local optician said my eyes hadn't changed, and when i mentioned astigmatism, he said i'd always had it...

I wasn't happy with that, so went to Vision Express and had another eye test... they said they could correct the astigmatism, and while testing my right eye diagnosed cataracts forming..

I eventually got the glasses from Vision Express... and my red-dots are still fuzzy...

An astigmatism causes a circle to appear oval, not fuzzy.
I suspect that your problem is that your cataracts are causing the blurring of the red dot or that your eye and lens of the specs cannot focus properly on the red dot.

I have seen but not tried these glasses. They looked well made and ergonomic to me.
I don't know the price but if they are a lower cost alternative to the foreign competition, so much the better.
As explained, if you can use "readers" lenses then do so but, if not, you can still have Specsavers (other optician are available) make you a prescription lens.
My branch of Specsavers (as before) were completely unfased by me producing my pistol to get the lens absolutely right. (0.25 different from their estimate).
Good luck to the maker, I hope he succeeds.
My red dot sight was also oval until I got my astigmatism corrected, now it's very nearly round.
