Shooting wearing glasses

[Alexp]

This is a basic but genuine question. I have seen shooters with what look like rubber shrouds on the end of the scope. When shooting wearing glasses is looking through a scope easier with one of these rubber shrouds or without. Cheers Alex

Hello, Ant Supplies do a range of rubber eye shrouds , They can help wearing glasses , The only problem i had was on one scope the Diopter was on maximum and still a bit blurry so i put a 4 X 37mm magnification lens on the eye piece and that sorted the problem

I cant shoot NV sights with glasses they push the glasses lenses back and ruin eye relief distance. I always take the rubber shroud off. Unfortunately this causes the NV to light your face up. So i put on a black balaclava which then steams up my glasses!

Virtually all NV scopes (and spotters) come with a rubber 'bellows' shade for the eyepiece, which you can typically remove (or fold back) if you want.

I've personally always shot with these on ... wearing glasses with them can move your eye a little further back which may make it harder to see the entire screen, but I don't find this a big deal. As mentioned there's a fair bit of light spill without them.

I need reading glasses but i can use my scope with or without them and mostly use them without my glasses . Not tried using a Pigs Ear since I had to start wearing glasses though.

I think if I tried shooting without my glasses I would be a danger to society.

I thought these rubber eye pieces were called Pigs Ears?

Not the completely round type normally used on scopes, AFAIK??
