Pilla Glasses for Game Shooting

Pilla X7 Razor Glasses: a premium choice for game shooting

For serious shooters - whether you’re breaking clays at the range or tracking game in the field – protective eyewear is more than just an accessory. It’s a performance tool that protects your eyes, enhances vision, and subtly shapes confidence.

Pilla Shooting Glasses, with HD Lenses made by Zeiss,  stand out as the market leader. They boast a 7-layer coating alongside Zeiss's anti-reflective lenses, reducing 99.9% of all visual noise. Pilla’s X6 and X7 families have earned a reputation among shooters for combining optical clarity, practical styling and shooter-centric details.

While every model in both lines is perfectly capable for clay and game shooting, the X7 Razor deserves special attention: it’s lighter, sleeker and more understated than many competition sets, yet still delivers the signature Pilla clarity and safety shooters expect.

Built for the field

For game shooters who want uncompromising performance without a bulky, competition-style look, the Pilla X7 Razor lens with the Single Edge-Tread frame (sold separately) is an outstanding option.

The Razor’s lighter, sleeker (12mm reduction from the Outlaw X7 lenses) and more understated design make it particularly well suited to game shooting. It sits close to the face, feels barely noticeable during long days in the field, and avoids the overt “clay ground” appearance of larger frames - while still delivering the world-class optics Pilla is known for.

Additionally, the narrow Pilla Edge Tread Frame ensures you are much less likely to catch the stock upon repeated/intense mounting, also eliminating the chance of vertical lens movement at a key moment.

Game shooting demands clarity, contrast and reliability in constantly changing light. The X7 Razor excels here, offering exceptional lens clarity and edge-to-edge vision to help pick up birds quickly against sky, woodland, or hedgerow.

Particularly, Pilla’s array of green (42 CDKX, 53 CIK or 92 CIL) or purple (39 CIG) X7 Razor lenses are preferable for game shooting – both colours neutralise green backgrounds, and work well for birds crossing green to blue backgrounds  (land to sky). Particularly, the green lenses are favourable, alongside a darker sun lens. Remember the number code of the lens is simply the % of light transmission; so low numbers are darker lenses for bright days, high numbers are light lenses for darker days. 

Key features for game shooters include:

• Lighter for all-day wear – reduces fatigue on long shoots
• Smaller, sleeker lens – less bulk and more natural field of vision
• Single frame leg – more comfort under ear muffs and less snagging when mounting the gun

Despite its refined appearance, the X7 Razor maintains full protective performance, giving you the confidence and safety required in real shooting environments.
