I want to talk about an excellent experience I had with Wayne and Morgan Optical. I recently got some Ranger Classic Frames and was in need of some custom lenses. My usual Pink Blaze 3 just wasn't doing it for me , so I emailed Wayne about making something that really makes the clays pop. Over the course of several days, he experimented with colors and lense materials, until he got to what he and I thought was the right combination. These lenses make those clays pop like
nothing else I have ever had (I've had Pillas and just about everything else). On top of that, the clarity that these lenses provide is nothing short of excellent. We haven't established an official name for this new color, but I have been referring to them as Pinnacle Pink, as the provide pinnacle pop to the clay.

Just wanted to give a big shoutout and thank you to Wayne for the absolute top-notch customer service!

Morgan Sports Optical in Olean, New York is a class act! Several years ago, I wrote a column for Shotgun Sports Magazine about my difficulty seeing handgun bullseye targets and my gun's sights clearly. I found that wearing my bifocal glasses upside down allowed me to see the sights crystal-clear but the black bull of the targets looked like a blurry football standing on end. Partially as a joke, I included a photo of me wearing my glasses like that which generated a lot of comical reader mail but one email I received was from Wayne Morgan's father, Harold, who told me he could make lenses for me that would permit me to see both my sights and the target with good clarity and asked if I am right- or left-handed, my distance prescription and the distance at which I shoot handguns at targets. I honestly didn't think what he was offering was possible but I sent him that information.

A few weeks later, a Randolph Ranger frame plus one left lens and five right lenses arrived in the mail (I'm right-handed). One of the right lenses actually did make me see both objects with clarity! His method is now public knowledge because a paper he submitted on the process appeared in a optometry publication and a local optometrist was recently able to make lenses for my Decot frames with my most current prescription. Accordingly, if you are older and suffering from the same condition as I was, an eye doctor near you would be able to research Dr. Morgan's paper and correct the problem without requiring you to alter your gun or add an optical sight, which is what most olde pharts like me seem to be doing to combat it.

By the way (back to trapshooting), I was able to narrow my assortment of lens colorations down to two, medium bronze for bright days and 15% gold for overcast skies and night shooting. The popular "target orange" and other colorations that brighten the targets made them hard for my eyes to see against a bright sky. But my eyes require a lot of contrast, perhaps more than most peoples.'

I was very pleasantly surprised that I could mail order prescription glasses and they’d be right. My optometrist has a hard time getting it right but Morgan’s did a perfect job first time. Incredible! I’ve got the orange low light lenses but never change from the medium purple ones. All day comfort at a very reasonable price with a quick turnaround.

A quality product, good service even if it is by mail. Over many years, I had one frame break and they replaced it without hassle. I have had several prescription lenses made by Morgan Optical. One was not what I expected, they fixed it right away. They are good people to deal with.
