![]() The reason why professional Mil/LE operators choose Oakley tactical eyewear is 3-fold:ġ) Oakley’s Government Sales (military and law enforcement) division understands this market intimately, and caters to it intently.Ģ) Oakley’s lenses exceed ANSI Z87.1 industrial standards for impact protection, so they offer a high level of protection against shrapnel impact from overpressure detonations (of a gun) while shooting, as well as particle ricochet impacts.ģ) Oakley lenses/optics don’t distort or blur one’s sight picture/point-of-aim while shooting, due to their employment of what Oakley calls “XYZ Optics” technology." These give professional operators the greatest level of eye protection peripheral vision, possible.

On a side note, two key fundamental shooting skills required for achieving fast multiple hits on target(s) are…īeing able to "see fast" (being able to watch the front sight as it bobs up and down with each shot, and quickly see it on the target, once it comes back down) and utilizing proper trigger control (proper indexing and pulling of trigger). The only thing I worry about with my Oakleys is losing them. When I’m wearing my Oakleys, I know that the sight picture I’m seeing is the actual sight picture, and not a distorted image, so I’m going to hit what I’m aiming at–provided I execute the shot properly. I’ve had these sunglasses for a few months, now, and I really like them, especially for shooting. Actually, the specific Oakley eyepro I was wearing were Oakley Juliet sunglasses (with red lenses). ![]() During my firing sessions, I was wearing Oakley Eyewear ballistic eye protection (or "eyepro") a.k.a. 50 BMG anti-materiel rifle–at the Orange County Sheriff’s Office (OCSO) range at SWAT Round-Up 2004, in Orlando, FL. I recently wrote several articles for a print publication after I test-fired a few weapon systems–the select-fire Lewis Machine & Tool Monolithic Rail Platform/Quick-Change Barrel System ( LMT MRP/QCBS), Barrett M468-A1 subcarbine (6.8x43mm SPC), and Cobb FA50(T) "fast-action".
