What is a shooting iris?

A shooting iris is an adjustable optical device mounted on shooting glasses or on the shooter’s optical system. Its purpose is to regulate the diameter of the aperture through which light enters, similar to the diaphragm of a camera.

By reducing or enlarging the iris opening, the shooter can increase depth of field, making both the front sight and the target appear sharper. This is particularly important in precision disciplines such as air rifle, small-bore rifle and sport pistol shooting.

Modern shooting iris devices allow very fine adjustments and may also include colour filters or polarising filters to improve contrast under different lighting conditions.

Why do Olympic shooters use specialised shooting glasses?

Shooting glasses used in Olympic shooting disciplines are specifically designed to improve the shooter’s visual precision during firing.

Unlike standard glasses, shooting glasses allow the lens to be precisely positioned in front of the shooter’s dominant eye, adapting to the shooting stance and discipline. This helps maintain consistent alignment between the eye, the sighting system and the target.

Many shooting glasses also include accessories such as adjustable iris diaphragms, contrast filters and occluders for the non-dominant eye, which help reduce visual fatigue and improve concentration during competition.

What is the difference between yellow, grey and orange filters in shooting glasses?

Colour filters in shooting glasses are used to improve contrast and target visibility depending on lighting conditions.

Yellow filters increase contrast in low light or artificial lighting environments and are commonly used in indoor shooting ranges.

Grey filters reduce overall brightness without significantly altering colour perception, making them suitable for bright daylight conditions.

Orange filters enhance the contrast of the target against dark or green backgrounds.

Are Knobloch shooting glasses suitable for air rifle and ISSF pistol shooting?

Yes. Knobloch shooting glasses are designed for precision disciplines recognised by the ISSF (International Shooting Sport Federation).

They are widely used in air rifle 10 m, air pistol 10 m and small-bore rifle shooting.

Their modular design allows the lens position, iris and filters to be adjusted to match the shooter’s stance.

Knobloch: shooting glasses and optical accessories for precision shooters

Knobloch is a well-known German brand specialised in shooting glasses and optical accessories for competitive shooters. Founded by optician and shooter Bruno Knobloch in Karlsruhe, the company developed one of the first adjustable shooting glasses systems, patented in 1957.

This system revolutionised how shooters adjust their vision to achieve perfect alignment between the eye, the front sight and the target.

Today Knobloch shooting glasses are an international reference in precision shooting disciplines such as Olympic shooting, air rifle, sport pistol, small-bore rifle shooting and shotgun disciplines including trap and skeet.

Knobloch shooting glasses for competition

Knobloch shooting glasses are designed to precisely position the corrective lens in front of the shooter’s dominant eye. Their modular structure allows the height, tilt and position of the lens to be adjusted according to the shooting stance and discipline.

Models such as the Knobloch K1, K2, K3 and K5 offer configurations suitable for different shooting styles and disciplines. These systems allow the use of interchangeable lens holders, optical filters and adjustable iris diaphragms to control light and improve target contrast.

Iris systems, filters and optical accessories

One of the most important elements of Knobloch shooting glasses is the adjustable iris system. This device allows the shooter to regulate the aperture diameter, improving depth of field and sharpening the image of the front sight and the target.

Shooters can also use interchangeable colour filters to optimise visibility under different lighting conditions, both indoors and outdoors.

  • Adjustable iris diaphragms for depth-of-field control
  • Contrast filters for different lighting conditions
  • Lens holders in various diameters
  • Occluders for the non-dominant eye
  • Precision adjustment elements for lens positioning

Professional equipment for sport shooting

Knobloch glasses are widely used by high-level shooters and national teams in international competitions. Their modular design allows the system to be adapted for rifle shooting, pistol shooting and airgun disciplines.

Thanks to German manufacturing quality and constant technical development, Knobloch remains one of the most respected brands in precision sport shooting.

I had the pleasure of purchasing the 150th Anniversary Edition Cometa 400 Fenix ​​​​at the lowest price I could find online from these kind people. I also indicated that I am passionate about wood and that it would be great if they could send me a nicely figured example. These come with Spanish Walnut stocks. I'm not sure what was done in the background, but I can certainly say my hopes were met on this point!! Excellent communication and overall customer service as I had a few inquiries that were promptly answered. Shipping to France was FAST, easy, and inexpensive. I don't normally write these reviews, but this exceptional service motivated me to do so. I highly recommend this store!
