[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 645583, member: 8"] As you get older your eyes become more sensitive to glare. Think of glare as stray light which did not originate from the target. Even when the sun is not directly on the scope you will have stray light. Minimizing the stray light helps your eyes take advantage of the light that comes from the target. You will notice that sometimes people talk about how "bright" their scope is. Often this is just a statement that there is a lot of white light which represents stray light and is caused by poor quality coatings and glass or the sun hitting the objective lenses. Think of a sun shade as a bill cap for your scope. If you are wearing a hat to keep the sun out of your eyes then your scope should have its sunshade on too. [/QUOTE]
