Shooting Glasses Substitute??

Anybody ever used this product? I think I would rather have the lens mounted on the sight than to have to wear and buy the glasses frame.
What is your opinion and/or expereince?
Thanks,

10 Meter forearm/barrel support stand

I see some 10 meter shooters rest their rifle's forearm and/or barrel on a support stand and small shelf between shots. I went to Champions Choice and viewed their scope stands but did not see anything like a forearm rifle support shelf. Please advise on what to buy.
Thank you.

Shooting shoe foam insert question.

Is it ok to put Dr.Shoals type foam inserts into shooting shoes? Or will this defeat the purpose of the shoes? My feet hurt after only a short time of shooting. I guess the flat bottom give me no support.
