Recommendations for color of shooting glasses

I want to buy Beretta shooting glasses but i am not settled on color. Help me choose between Yellow, Orange or Red. I am shooting against green background (grass and green trees)

 

Hi Yura.
Welcome to the site. I am told that our eyes process light and color differently. You will want a color that does not turn the background the same color as the target. I shoot regularly against a tree background and prefer the light purple. For me it makes the trees a more solid dark background and the target brighter.

Most trap shooters have a variety of lens colors.

The lighter the lens the better the depth perception.

 

I also wear the light purple shade glasses. I started watching to see what everyone else was wearing and noticed they were purple. I shoot a lot against tree and brush backgrounds and they deffently bring out the target against the green background. If the clouds roll in I switch to a rose colored lens.

 

Agree with others, as I use Light Purple most of the time against trees and green. The more light in lets you see better. Some people I shoot with use Orange. I tried Vermillion but like the Light Purple better. Steve

 

Lens color is a person thing - different for everyone. Go to a shoot where a vendor has the different lenses and look through them for contrast, or borrow your buddies to just look through. I have tried about all of them and I shoot in the mid-south where it is an understatement to say it is green. We have backgrounds with every shade of green known to man - as the targets transcends across grass, grass seed-heads, bushes, trees (hardwood and pine) and then into whatever color clouds, or cloud mix you can imagine -- and not to mention the haze from the humidity. Very rarely do we get blue-bird sky. I have found that the last few years I shoot 99% to 99.99% of the time in a bronze color recommended to me by Dr. Frank Rively

 

Vermillion..... Larry

 

Going to try Amber Wednesday evening. Fingers crossed.

 

I use a light purple mainly against a green background, if it becomes darker I go to a very light yellow, I have tried bronze if the sky is not very bright and noticed very little difference from the light yellow, but, that's just me everyone sees colour a little bit different

 

I recently had surgery on both eyes... bit of metal removal from the Nam days, cataracts from age, replaced both lens's. I find that the reds (from light to dark) are more restful on my eyes and vermillion seems to make the birds more visable and the background less obvious. For the darker days I use a color that is almost a pink and if the light suddenly gets bright I have a "flipdown" pair of darker vermillion I apply. Only been about 6 weeks since surgery so things might change. I tried the purple and I had a challenge seeing the bird leave the traphouse........ Larry

 

Great suggestions above by all but the proof in the pudding is you looking through all different colors to find which colors are best suited for your eyes! No one can tell you that!

I like the Randolph CMT lenses, makes Orange stand out, all Coast Guard, and Navy wear them, it pulls out the Orange, makes Orange Highly visible, Also worn by Fighter Pilots, There was a big write up about them some years ago, I had to buy them straight from Randolph Engineering,

Ask a hundred shooters-----A hundred different answers. It is something you just have to figure out on your own. chris.
