spotting scopes and shooting glasses

Post by pauln »

Hi Do you have to remove your shooting glasses to use a spotting scope ?
Thanks

I don't - I have the focus adjusted for my eye + shooting lens. Even though I don't have a "long eye relief" eyepiece, I can see the whole BE target without bumping the shooting lens on the eyepiece. If you can get an LER ocular that would be better still.

As above posters stated, nope. Mine stay on all the time, rifle and pistol.

After initial concerns about the eye relief on my scope when wearing shooting glasses I now find, if the rotating eye piece is positioned properly, I can use the scope by looking to the side of the glasses' lens. Does that make sense? It helps if you're shooting 10s and don't have to search the whole target for your shot hole.
