Just my 2 pennies. I think they have a very real place in the scheme of things but they are not for every situation. I originally went to a polarized copper lens in my Ranger XLWs for those very bright (snowy) glaring days when the light just seemed to come from everywhere. None of my other non-polarized lenses from either my XLWs or HiDefSpex seemed to work under those condition and the targets were at best a blurred orange streak to my squinted eyes. The polarized copper reduced the glare and enhanced the target to the point that I was able to get on them faster and I was not squinting. Last Saturday against a treeline and with varying light I was able to "distinguish the rings" on a solid orange target using them in place of my dark purple so I think they helped me. When there is more green on the trees and the light is just non glaring/non reflective sunlight I will continue to use my non-polarized purple lenses either light or dark. Under the lights or on very cloudy days it will be my non-polarized pale yellows.
