ReviewerExcellent product, prompt delivery and very good communication. I shot my first competition using the Fulcrum glasses (vermilion lens) and was impressed with how well I could see the clays in both bright sunlight and overcast conditions.

Fulcrum Shooting Glasses FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should I choose the Fulcrum?
The Fulcrum is a high-performance fixed-lens shooting glasses system designed for shooters who value simplicity, comfort and excellent optical performance without the need for interchangeable lenses.
It uses the same high-quality Optical Class 1 polycarbonate lens material found across our eyewear range, providing excellent clarity and optical performance. Its carefully selected range of lens colours covers different light conditions, target colours and backgrounds, allowing you to choose the lens that best suits your shooting.
The lightweight TR90 frame, adjustable metal-core temple tips and flexible nose pad provide a secure, comfortable fit, while the slim temple profile is designed to sit comfortably beneath ear defenders. Fulcrum is also prescription compatible through an optional RX insert and complies with EN ISO 16321-1 and ANSI Z87.1 protective eyewear standards.
Supplied individually and ready to use, Fulcrum delivers the optical quality, protection and comfort expected from specialist shooting eyewear in a simple fixed-lens system at an accessible price point.
What is the fit like?
The Fulcrum is our most universally fitting model and is particularly praised for its comfort. Its shape and adjustable design allow it to fit a very wide range of face shapes and sizes, from smaller faces through to larger adult fits.
The 6C lens curve provides wide coverage without wrapping too tightly around the face, helping the glasses sit naturally and comfortably across different face shapes. Flexible metal-core temple tips can be shaped to suit your head, while the adjustable metal-core nose pad allows the position and fit of the glasses to be further fine-tuned.
The slim, low-profile temple arms are also designed to sit comfortably beneath ear defenders.
What shooting disciplines are the Fulcrum suitable for?
The Fulcrum is designed for a wide range of shooting disciplines, including sporting clays, trap and DTL, skeet, game shooting, pistol and action shooting, rifle and target shooting, and airsoft.
Its wide lens coverage, secure adjustable fit and impact protection make it suitable for different shooting positions and disciplines, while the range of available lens colours allows you to choose the option best suited to your typical light conditions, target colours and backgrounds.
For archery, suitability depends more on individual fit and shooting style. The Fulcrum uses a nose pad system which may interfere with the sight picture or anchor position for some archers, so we recommend considering fit carefully if choosing the Fulcrum specifically for archery.
Are the lenses interchangeable?
No. The Fulcrum is a fixed-lens system, designed for shooters who prefer the simplicity of choosing the lens colour that best suits their typical shooting conditions without the need for an interchangeable-lens setup.
Fulcrum is available in a carefully selected range of lens colours covering different light conditions, target colours and backgrounds.
Should you consider purchasing two pairs with different lenses?
That depends on the range of conditions you regularly shoot in. If you usually shoot in similar light and against similar backgrounds, a single well-chosen Fulcrum lens colour may be all you need.
If your shooting takes place across very different light conditions, target colours or backgrounds, choosing a second pair with a complementary lens colour can provide greater flexibility. For example, you might choose one lens suited to brighter conditions and another for lower or flatter light.
This gives you the flexibility to adapt to changing conditions while retaining the simplicity of the Fulcrum fixed-lens design.
Can I use the Fulcrum with my prescription?
Yes. The Fulcrum is prescription compatible through our optional RX insert system. Rather than replacing the main shooting lens with a prescription lens, the RX insert sits securely behind it and is fitted with your prescription by your own optician.
The Fulcrum RX insert is designed to sit slightly higher within the frame for shooting, helping to provide a clear field of view when mounted to the gun. It attaches securely at the nose bridge and can be fitted or removed in seconds.
Rubber guards help prevent the insert from contacting the main lens, reducing the risk of scratching.
The RX insert is available separately.
For more details and guidance, please visit our RX Insert Prescription page.
What safety standards does the Fulcrum meet?
The Fulcrum complies with EN ISO 16321-1 and ANSI Z87.1, providing a high level of eye protection for demanding shooting environments.
EN ISO 16321-1 is the current European standard for protective eyewear and includes requirements for areas such as impact resistance, optical performance, field of view and protective coverage. ANSI Z87.1 is the recognised American standard for protective eyewear and includes requirements for impact performance.
Combined with impact-resistant polycarbonate lenses and wide wraparound coverage, the Fulcrum is designed to provide the protection, optical clarity and coverage required from specialist shooting eyewear.
How do I choose the right Fulcrum lens colour?
The best lens colour depends on the light conditions, backgrounds and targets you regularly shoot against, and there isn’t one colour that’s right for every shooter or every condition.
If you’re unsure where to start, Vermilion is one of our top recommendations, particularly for typical cloudy or overcast conditions, while remaining versatile enough for lower light and brighter conditions. Rose Diamond and Purple Diamond are also excellent all-round choices across a broad range of conditions.
For more specific conditions, HD Brown & Electric Purple are best suited to very bright light, while Clear provides maximum light transmission where additional tint or contrast isn’t required.
Our Lens Colour Simulator can help you compare the effect of different colours against different backgrounds before choosing your Fulcrum.
How does the Fulcrum differ from the Axiom and 3RX?
The main difference is simplicity. Fulcrum is a fixed-lens system, while Axiom and 3RX are interchangeable-lens systems. Fulcrum uses the same high-quality Optical Class 1 polycarbonate lens material found across our eyewear range and provides the same high standards of optical performance and protection.
If you typically rely on one or two lens colours, Fulcrum gives you the optical quality and protection of specialist shooting eyewear without paying for an interchangeable-lens system you may not need. Its lightweight frame, extensive fit adjustment and exceptionally versatile fit also make it a comfortable choice for long days of shooting.
For shooters who encounter very different conditions, choosing a second Fulcrum in a complementary lens colour can provide additional flexibility while retaining the simplicity of the fixed-lens design.

Excellent glasses at a reasonable cost for the quality.
I use these as daily sunglasses as well for shooting sports. I have chronic photophobia and they have proven excellent for reducing light and boosting detail
Solid quality. Electric Purple really makes orange pop. Prescription inserts glazed by America’s Best here in the States. I had two of my shooting team mates ask about these this weekend. I do a lot of scoring for our team and these really help.
Excellent customer service. Glasses were shipped out right away with tracking numbers. UK to Canada. Able to see the front edge of the clays more crisp. Love the glasses
Realy pleased with my purchase the electric purple lense are great and work fantastic and the prescription insert fits in with no effort
