Best Shooting Glasses 2024

Whether you're a keen hunter or a precision clay pigeon shooter, you'll no doubt agree there's no better feeling than aiming down the sights. Good fun is safe fun however, so it's important that you outfit yourself with the best protection available before you go shooting. As your eyes are one of the most vulnerable parts of your body, we recommend a pair of our Best Shooting Glasses.

Our range of glasses adhere to the latest European directives for safety glasses, with lenses adhering to either:

• EN 166 F: Low energy impact - Impact with a small object travelling at 45 meters per second
• EN 166 B: Medium energy impact - Impact with a small object travelling at 120 meters per second
