  1. Please buy some in 11EE & sell them to me at that same price. Thanks in advance!
  2. I wear Wiley X, mostly the clear ones. I also have some polarized, but the clears just work better for me most of the time. I got them from my optometrist. His son was a Navy Seal, & he said that's what all his bud's wear. He also said they are much hardier than Oakleys. Before I got the prescription glasses, would shoot in the middle of the blur, & it was okay most of the time. What a difference the prescription glasses made! My optometrist asked if I wanted to focus on the front sight or the targets, & I guessed at the targets. It's worked out GREAT for me. I also wear them driving.
  3. I went to a specialist, & he said I'd be ready for Cochlear implants in less than 6 months. He also said they'd be $50K. Of course, the insurance would pick up part of it. I was thinking it over when my wife & I were at a Golden Corral right behind a guy with what looked like a mini satellite dish on the side of his head & wires that appeared to be connected to his brain. I told my wife, "Please tell me that isn't the Cochlear implant!". She said it was. So, now the only reason I might do that is if I can get Netflix thru the mini dish on my head. Otherwise, I'll need to learn sign language or something. We run the Close captioning "on" 100% of the time. Otherwise, I might as well be watching silent movies. I'd be depressed if I weren't so good-looking.
  4. Sorry to hear it. The hearing aids are a huge pain in the ass when shooting. Have to put them in to hear the stage instructions, take 'em out to shoot. In the Summer the sweat is hard on 'em. When they start shorting out, I shoot them with CRC Electronic cleaner, same thing I clean my pistols & rifle with - $5/can at Walmart. Like Widder, big problem with word recognition. The one good thing is the entertainment my wife & I have when I repeat what I think she said, & it's usually so outrageous, we both laugh our asses off. I tried the Walkers once for shooting, but got them wet with sweat shooting, & they were completely ruined before I could use them a second time. I have Starkeys with Bluetooth. I guess they work about as well as the limits of my hearing will let them. Make sure you knock every bit of the sound out while shooting to save the hearing you have left. Sorry you have to join the hard of hearing club. No fun.
  5. Ordered mine on 11/13, got it 11/21. Looks great! There are some advantages to using this style over the ones I have used in the past. Without a lot of detail, I like to toss them into the cart sometimes when heading to the table, & both of my previous favorites had a critical piece of the wood break off when abused. The design of this one won't let that happen.
