Why Is The Low Winter Sun A Problem For Shooters?
During winter months when the sun is low in the sky, this can cause two problems for shooters: Low light levels on dull days and low, dazzling sun on brighter days. When it is clear, the sun can be in your eyeline instead of high above it as it would be on a summer’s day. In this instance, having lenses that adjust to the light levels and can save you from being dazzled are more important now than at any other time of year.
You may be helped by the location of the traps. If they are oriented away from the mid-day sun, the problem may not be so acute. However, even at an angle, it may cause some distraction, not least if it reflects off other surfaces.
Photochromic lenses that can adjust to changing light conditions are valuable throughout the year but they may be more useful in the middle of winter than you might imagine.
