No problem, Brittany Man. I did not read between the lines well enough to determine you meant that as tongue in cheek. My bad.

These will be my last thoughts on the incident ........ the glasses were not obviously distorting my view when I first put them on, as I believe they would have been had they been prescription glasses. I only noticed the distortion in the "sides" of the field of view, beginning as my view left the center of the lenses. When we look at a show pair, or someone else' targets, we are looking through the dead center area of the lens(es). However, when we mount a shotgun and get a cheek weld we are not, we are looking through the upper part of the lens(es) and to either the right or left a bit, according to which one is our master eye. That is why it wasn't noticeable to me immediately after putting them on. It was only after 4 or 5 stations that I became aware of something that wasn't right. When I purposely looked through outer part of the lens(es) I could see the distortion. A subject object would "move around" as I moved my head slightly.

Lastly, I wasn't "bashing" Randolph glasses. I had made two previous comments addressing the OP's topic and was just trying to be helpful to the OP and others. I only mentioned the Randolphs after the previous poster brought that brand to my, and other's, attention. If the lenses had not distorted my field of view I'd still have them. I've got no bone to pick with Randolph Engineering. I was just passing on a personal experience, however poorly I obviously must have done so.


May God bless America and those who defend her.
