It's good common sense: When gou see more eZearZg- gou shoot more birds.! The sharper, clearer vision with Stirling shooting glasses toil1 surely lift your score because they contrast your target against the background. The large lenses give undistorted vision from centre to edge, and properly fitted Stirling glasses won't fog or obscure your vision because they ride high on the face. YELLOW LENS: For medium to poor light conditions, they brighten the background yet accentuate the black. The difference is amazing, look for yourself. GREEN LENS: These eliminate the glare and squinting caused by bright sunlight, keep your eyes fresh all day and contrast black against the background. only $11.00 pair Have you seen the BENTLEY 'POINTER'?
