    This is a long shot. I've searched every combination of words I can think of with no luck yet, but maybe some of you here know of a product I can't find.

    Are there any sunglasses that don't create a reflection or glare when the sun hits them?

    I've got two stands that face directly into the sun and I'm always blinded until the sun sets. Those two stand locations are stellar and the deer almost always come from WSW, so I need to be watching in the direction the sun sets.

    Any sunglasses I've ever seen would reflect light right back at the deer and give me away.

    You guys/gals have any ideas? I wear a hat while hunting so I can block the sun to some extent, but it sure would be nice to be able to see where I want to see before the sun has set.

    I wish I could help you, but I can't shoot a bow with any kind of glasses on. It has something to do with the way I anchor. When I touch my nose to the string the left rim always blocks my view of the sight, so I never even looked into sunglasses.

    Still, Todd Graff kills big bucks and he's always wearing glasses. I wonder what kind he wears?

    I own a pair of the Oakley Crankshafts and they are pretty nice. I don't think you can get a 100% non-reflective lens, but a lot of things in nature are actually reflective- stone, and especially water (ice, snow, frost, dew.)

    I've worn my regular Costas for years while hunting and never had an issue. I usually only need to wear them for an hour or two on an afternoon sit so it's not a big deal.
