Gunstar Mounts are a company in Bulgaria that makes an extensive range of high quality scope and red dot mounts, particularly for European hunting and safari rifles.

I’m very fair skinned and light eyed. Bright sun is a real challenge for me and wears my eyes out.

I’ve always struggled with finding sunglasses that aren’t reflective so they spook game. I agree just suffer the bright sun because I’m worried about the reflection. I once had a super cheap pair made for turkey hunting where the lenses were camo but of course they broke.

So what sunglasses are you using that tent super reflective. Brand and model reconditions appreciated.
