The Science of Shooting Glasses (ft. Dr Rich Colo and Will Fennell)

This is an in-depth look at the eyewear used in clay target sports. We talk to Dr. Richard Colo, one of the world's leading experts in sports vision. We also learn about how to truly focus on targets from professional shooter and instructor, Will Fennell. In this episode, we learn the ideal features of shooting glasses and put these elements to the test in the real world, at the 2022 East Coast Championship.

Note: Aerial videography performed in compliance with 14 CFS Part 107 and all applicable FAA regulations governing sUAS operations. All flying was in Class G, uncontrolled airspace. Nearby airport (GGE) in Georgetown, SC does not have a control tower and is Class G airspace from surface to 750 feet AGL, but CTAF radio traffic was monitored at all times by our crew and no manned aircraft were interfered with. Maximum altitude was 390 feet AGL. A visual spotter was used in addition to the pilot. All dirt roads in the video are private with controlled access. The drone transited over active roadways on two occasions, but no sustained flight over moving vehicles occurred. In each case, the drone was at maximum altitude and swung out well beyond the road while filming, so as to not fly over any moving vehicles. The drone was not flown over people at any time. Flight through the interior of the house was carefully choreographed, with spotters at various locations within the house and strictly controlled access. A low-speed collision took place with a door frame resulting in no injuries or property damage. Remote Pilot in Command: Scott Hardison This video and channel are a product of Clay Lab USA, LLC.
