Considering “brightness” of an optic is an aspect of critique when evaluating optics, why then shoot with sunglasses and not clear lenses? What are your thoughts?

Well yes...and I wear sunglasses most often when outside and have for many decades. Like when I started flying as a civilian at about 20 and then into the USAF. Sunglasses (or tinted helmet visor) always.Modoc and Baron 23...
A lot of folks don't know UV is a motherfucker.
After enough years in the sun, it'll take the paint job off a car.
I think so; I’ve had no issues with them and they have held up for 3-4 years for me so farLooking into Oakley sunglasses for shooting. Are they worth it.
This isn't the end all, be all of examples, but this is the issue I run into most often when shooting precision rifle with glasses.I think so; I’ve had no issues with them and they have held up for 3-4 years for me so far
Yes have those. Brightens up they view a little for me. But I wear contacts, and have keratoconus and contact lenses usually folds in half. So when sighting in on target it gets blurry. Wish they made Tombstone lenses in prescription cause I do like those glasses. But they don't so looking into oakley for new prescription sunglassesThis isn't the end all, be all of examples, but this is the issue I run into most often when shooting precision rifle with glasses.
It never fails. I'm always looking through the top corner of the lens and occasionally the frame gets int he way and I have to adjust my face or glasses or both. I think the Oakley Tombstone is a great design for reducing this.

Tombstone don't have a traditional frame...I'm sure they have others like this as well, but the Tombstone is marketed as shooting glasses.
I've been wanting to test them out for a while.

And both Randolph Rangers and Decots....both shooting glasses worn widely in clay target sports (along with very high dollar Pilla)...are made to sit up on your face a bit (and the better frames have adjustable nose pieces) to get any little bit of frame out of the way of your vision.This isn't the end all, be all of examples, but this is the issue I run into most often when shooting precision rifle with glasses.

It really depends on your age and your eyes. I couldn’t accurately dial for elevation without progressive lenses. I think your question is best answered by each individual shooter. What SUCKS is when you figure it all out in the middle of a match. Don’t ask me how I know.Trying to see the benefit of progressive lenses for sighting in. Or, single lenses ok
I've worn Ray-Ban Aviators for over 20 years. The thin "cable" temples don't interfere with the seals on a headset when flying, and thus helps keep cockpit noise out. However, the lenses are glass and will shatter on impact (I've dropped them on concrete and had to get a broom and dust pan for all the shards). The Aviators (don't know about other models) are most definitely NOT safety glasses and should NOT be used for shooting. In fact, now that Biden is seen wearing them daily, I've pretty much quit wearing them altogether. Thanks, Joe - another thing you've screwed up.The only downside to wearing non prescription glasses for shooting is whether or not they are optically correct. So cheapies won’t do. I do a lot of varmint hunting in bright sunlight, so sunglasses cut a lot of glare. I like Ray Bans. These were developed during WW2 for optical clarity.
I wear progressive on a daily basis. But I can’t shoot through a scope with them. I use fixed bifocal for shooting. I don’t need the midrange of the progressive and it helps me stay off the transition area having the line for the bifocal.Those that have prescription. Do you have progressive lenses, or just the single type lense
"Shooting in the direction of downtown LA" could mean something totally different on this forum. It might be a good idea to choose your words more carefully.Was over my Son's house shooting in the direction of downtown LA and when I got through, I thought of this thread.
California? While you may be correct, you should probably sleep in body armor for the foreseeable future…LOL!!! I luv it!!
Hopefully the law, and the government supercomputers that monitor the whole of Earth's communications take the time to read this, and of course they'll know/should know is the only thing I'd shoot in the direction of downtown LA over my Son's house would be cameras as in "Lifelong Photographer".
There's no excuse for them to not know it now but thanks for the "heads up".
I think I'll be ok LOL
