    The most demanding sport professionals in the world have fueled 30 years of Oakley innovation. Athletes have won more championships and medals with our sunglasses than with any other single sport product on earth. The heritage continues with Oakley RADAR®, a milestone in performance technology.
    Available with RANGE™ or PATH™ lens shape, this shooting-specific edition of RADAR® comes with our G26™ lens color. Whether you’re in the flat light of overcast skies or the glare of medium bright sun, G26™ boosts the orange in targets while increasing contrast against green and blue backgrounds. It not only makes the target stand out; it enhances your depth perception. You also get all the performance breakthroughs of this unique eyewear invention.
    MAINTAINS SHARP, CLEAR VISION
    RADAR® features Oakley HYDROPHOBIC™, a permanent lens coating that prevents rain and sweat from building up on the lens. It also repels skin oils and other contaminates, so the lens is smudge resistant and easy to keep clean. It even eliminates static electricity, so dirt and dust particles won’t cling.
    STAYS AHEAD OF THE SUN
    RADAR® lets you change lenses in seconds to optimize vision in any sport environment. Many performance lens colors are available, and all lenses feature the unbeatable clarity of Oakley’s HIGH DEFINITION OPTICS® (HDO®).
    OFFERS A SECURE, CUSTOM FIT
    Choose the nosepiece that gives you the best fit — two sizes are included with every frame. Like the stem sleeves, they’re made of UNOBTAINIUM® to increase grip with perspiration. Oakley’s Three-Point Fit optimizes comfort and holds the lenses in precise optical alignment for superior clarity.
    OPTIMIZES COMFORT, PROTECTION AND CLARITY
    RADAR® is made of lightweight O MATTER® for all-day comfort. To keep the heat of competition from swamping you with sweat, the frame geometry creates a cooling flow of air. Pure PLUTONITE® lens material filters out 100% of all UV, and RADAR® meets ANSI Z87.1 standards for impact protection. The semi-rimless design means there’s no frame rim to block downward view. Optical clarity exceeds ANSI Z87.1 standards, and patented POLARIC ELLIPSOID™ geometry extends razor-sharp vision all the way to the lens periphery. Case included.
    Note: The G26™ lens is so fully optimized for shooting that we recommend against its use for any other activity.
    Also available in: RADAR PATH

    The sleek parametrically designed Arrow frame opens a whole new dimension in sports optics and eyewear. It's wrap around construction hugs the head and allows the sports sunglass to stay in position even with quick head movement.

    Molded around the technologically advanced bi-radial lens architechture, the Arrow virtually eliminates the bubble effect inherent in spherical lenses. With the addition of a composite lens coating to reduce glare and increases filtering characteristics, the interchangeable polycarbonate lenses bring the best aspects to further enhance clarity over the entire field of vision.

    Packages include a 3 lens combination, 4 slot storage case, microfiber poly-bag cleaning cloth and frame.

    Ranger XLW

    This is serious style for serious shooters. Designed from the ground up by our team of experienced optical engineers, the XLW™ is the industry’s first 8-base wrap frame specifically made for sport shooting. While some wrap eyewear may distort your vision, the XLW lenses are always 100% distortion free. For an added edge, the optional military inspired bayonet temples are designed to fit comfortably under any headwear or ear protection.

    Lens Technology
    From any shooting discipline to fishing and hunting, quality lenses will not only protect your eyes from numerous hazards, they’ll actually elevate your performance and prevent your eyes from becoming fatigued. Those who are serious about the quality of their vision depend on Ranger lenses to perform, no matter the goal. Although all Ranger lenses absorb 100% of UV rays and are molded at above industry standard thickness for your protection, the best advantages to wearing our lenses are enhanced definition and optical clarity. Unlike other shooting lenses, Rangers are made with distortion-free optical-grade polycarbonate. This gives you the level of protection you need while not compromising the quality of your vision. We don’t have flashy names for our basic lens tints- An orange lens is called “Orange”. This straight-forward approach is designed to assist you in choosing the correct lens tint for any given situation. With over 15 tints to choose from, you can be sure you’ll find the tints you need to enhance your performance.

    Today's shooting glasses come in many different lens colors from clear to vermillion. Below is a guide for choosing lens colors for different sky conditions, target colors and backgrounds.


    Recommended Lenses for Shooting Glasses - Low Light Conditions

    Clear - Best for poor lighting and shooting indoors when no contrast is needed. Also, an excellent safety lens when hand loading.

    Pale Yellow - The lens has a brightening effect in low light conditions, dusk or dawn. A very light color tint allows this lens to be used indoors, outdoors, in flat light or at night.

    Yellow - Great lens choice for overcast foggy days or late afternoon. Good lens for rifle or pistol shooting with black and white targets. Can be used while shooting at an indoor range.

    Medium Yellow - Maximum enhancement of orange clay targets in low light conditions.


    Recommended Lenses for Shooting Glasses - Average Light Conditions

    Sunset Orange - Ideal for bright, hazy conditions. Slightly darker than orange, helps absorb scattered blue light and provides contrast. Also, enhances visual acuity.

    Orange - Excellent all around lens for orange clay targets. Enhances the orange of any target on dull cloudy days, and at dusk or dawn.

    Vermillion - Traditional choice for shooting against green backgrounds. Highlights conditions where there is a poor background. Highlights orange and dampens green. Good lens for those who see orange targets poorly.

    Light Purple - This lens provides excellent contrast of orange targets against green backgrounds or against the sky. Combines grey and vermillion. It dampens the green and enhances the orange target against trees.


    Recommended Lenses for Shooting Glasses - Intense Light Conditions

    Deep Purple - Darker than Purple- this lens is a good choice for very bright sunlight and provides great contrast of orange targets against a deep blue sky. An excellent lens for glare reduction.

    Brown - This lens reduces brightness and gives good definition of orange targets. A good all around lens for shooting orange targets on bright glaring days with open background.

    Bronze - Offers high contrast for bright, glaring days with open background. Good choice for hunting in snow conditions.

    Grey - Reduces light and transmits all colors at the same level. Does not enhance orange targets. Use in bright sunlight. Popular choice for rifle or pistol shooters.

    SunBuster ShootCorrect™ Shooting Glasses - The Maverick

    There is no sport where perfect vision is more critical than shooting. Pin-point precision is essential whether target shooting, or hunting. But even with perfect vision, different lighting situations can cause difficulty in target acquisition. That is where SunBuster Shooting Glasses with their proprietary ShootCorrect™ technology come in.

    Included with each pair of Maverick Shooting Glasses are 5 + 1 bonus lenses, each with special properties that are designed to actually improve your vision for different lighting situations

    Crimson Brown- This is a relatively dark lens with a Visible Light Transmission (VLT) rating of 18%. It is ideal for outdoor shooting and hunting on sunny, to partly cloudy days.

    Orange Plus-This lens acts like a vision turbo charger in low-light conditions. By blocking blue light and with a 50% VLT, this lens is ideal for heavily clouded sky, early morning, or foggy conditions.

    Medium Purple- is a medium density (50% VLT) lens that works well in a wide range of lighting conditions. Purple washes out dark background colors, accentuating targets. It is easy on the eyes, and can be worn for long periods of time.

    Light Vermillion- A low density lens with 80% VLT. It is excellent for relatively dark conditions where targets are set against a dark background. This lens will actually seem to brighten targets by increasing the contrast against darker backgrounds.

    Light Yellow-All yellow lenses appear to brighten ambient light, but most distort colors. SunBuster's Light Yellow lenses offer all of the advantages of other yellow lenses, but with an 85% VLT, they don't distort colors. An excellent choice when light conditions are poor, or for shooting at night under lights.

    Clear-Sometimes the natural lighting is perfect, but it is still important to protect your eyes from harmful UVA and UVB rays, as well as with shatterproof lenses that meet or exceed all ANSI standards. (This lens is normally a $20.00 upgrade, but for a limited time we are offering it for FREE, included with your glasses.)

    All six lenses offer 100% protection from the sun's harmful UV rays. They are also shatterproof and offer the utmost in physical eye protection by meeting or exceeding all ANSI specifications. No other shooting glasses can protect your eyes while actually improving your shooting accuracy! That's why Shooting Legend Carl Bernosky switched to SunBuster Glasses and won the coveted 2007 National High Power Rifle Championship. "I like the ability SunBuster Glasses give me to adjust to changing light conditions by simply switching lenses."

    Sun Buster Maverick Shooting Glasses are unsurpassed in comfort and fit. No other frame offers SunBusters strength to weight ratio, and the shape was designed with total comfort in mind. They are made to wear for hours, and so comfortable you will forget they are on.

    For a limited time, get the clear lens set for NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE (a $20 value). That is a total of 6 lens sets to cover virtually any lighting condition you will ever face!

    I have a pair of O.C.C. GatorZ that Paul Teutul Jr. once owned and wore on the show American Chopper. I have changed the lenses out to orange, but still have the yellow lenses that they came with. These serve as my shooting glasses for pistol.
    For shotgun, I just use some yellow or clear lens safety glasses. They do fine for me on the field. Yellow seems to get more use, as those birds stand out a little better with them. Plus, everything looks really vivid. Just a personal preference.
