I practice a lot out doors. It is very bright sometimes and the sun is often at tough angles. I use the Champion eye glass wear and with them my hat does not fit well. I have seen, at Champions Choice, a visor that might help but I do not want it f it is ilegal. Here is the link to the visor. And no, I do not yet have a rulebook but that is on the list to obtain. Constructive assistance would be appriciated.

6.4.10.3 Side Blinders (either or both sides) attached to the hat, cap, shooting glasses, or to a head band, not exceeding 40 mm deep are permitted (A). These blinders must not extend further forward than to a line from the center of the forehead.

these would be out on both depth and forward of the forehead

rules download available from http://www.issf-sports.org/documents/ru ... 009-en.zip

practice outdoors with the visor if you like, but ISSF 10m is an indoor event and sunlight is not a problem

Glare from overhead lamps can be an issue indoors.
