Full FAQ – Performance & Fit
What is the difference between X6 and X7 systems?
The distinction lies in curvature, width, and ventilation.
-
X6: Wider fit (146mm temple width), greater airflow, preferred by shooters needing additional space or running specialty lenses such as CGR or Top Gun.
-
X7: Narrower fit (138mm temple width), slightly closer profile.
Both deliver elite-level optical performance. Selection comes down to fit preference and application.
Can X6 and X7 components be interchanged?
No. X6 lenses are precision-molded exclusively for X6 frames, and X7 lenses are engineered exclusively for X7 frames.
ICE coating is a proprietary anti-fog treatment integrated into select lenses. It enhances clarity in high-humidity or high-exertion environments, maintaining sharp target acquisition during competition.
How do I choose the right lens for clay shooting?
Lens selection depends on:
-
Lighting conditions (bright sun, overcast, dusk)
-
Target background (green trees, open sky, desert tones)
-
Personal light sensitivity
Popular competition-ready lenses include:
-
19CIN
-
36CPOM
-
72CIMX
Each lens code reflects specific light transmission and contrast enhancement characteristics. If you’re unsure, contact us for tailored guidance.
Do you offer prescription shooting glasses?
Yes. Prescription inserts are available for Outlaw and Panther systems.
-
Insert turnaround: typically 5–7 business days
-
Direct-to-lens prescription (select models): approximately 2–3 weeks
All inserts include premium anti-glare and anti-fog coatings.

Yes. Pilla lenses are manufactured by ZEISS in Italy — a global leader in precision optics — ensuring elite clarity, color enhancement, and durability.
