Wearing prescription glasses for shooting brings its own set of problems. Any slight change to the position of the glasses will change your sight picture and cause inaccuracy. Probably only enough to spoil your day if you are shooting aperture sights on a very accurate target but worth considering contact lenses. My smallbore TR average went up 5 points over night swapping from glasses to contacts.

I can’t wear contact’s. I tried a few years ago but couldn’t get on with them.
Thx

Can't see the exact ones I have, they may have changed to this style.

So I settled on trying these BOLLE OVERLIGHT OTG | Safety Over Glasses for Prescription Lens from UKMC Pro. They’ve arrived and fit well over my rimless glasses. Shall be trying them out Monday night
Thanks again for your help with this
