changing the color of my lenses slashed my reaction time by 20%"},"content":{"rendered":"<p>A few years ago, I noticed that I started getting angry at night before going to bed.<\/p>\n<p>It would happen when I laid on my back in bed to read, but not when I propped myself up and laid on my stomach.<\/p>\n<p>I finally figured out that it was the LED lights that we\u2019d installed in our bedroom.<\/p>\n<p>We were trying to get our kWh down as low as possible so we could use a smaller generator when the power went out and LEDs seemed to make sense.<\/p>\n<p>Except for the fact that my eyes don\u2019t like overly white\/blue light.<\/p>\n<p>At all.<\/p>\n<p>When I was looking up at the lights, it affected me much more than when the light was bouncing off of a dark wood headboard before getting to my eyes.<\/p>\n<p>Being the \u201crecovering engineer\u201d \/ bio hacker that I am, I dug into it to see how many ways light affected me and how much I could manipulate the effect.<\/p>\n<p>I noticed that there were times when I was on the bubble when a change in lighting could change my mood, strength, speed, attitude, energy level, and more.<\/p>\n<p>I found that fluorescent and LED lights are a form of kryptonite for me\u2026as they are for many.<\/p>\n<p>So, I set up lights that let me change output from 2700k (\u201cwarm\u201d light that\u2019s yellowish, like a candle or incandescent bulb) up to 5000k (\u201ccool\u201d light that\u2019s white\u2026almost blueish) and started running tests.<\/p>\n<p>My initial results were shocking.<\/p>\n<p>I could switch back and forth between light colors and see up to a 20% change in reaction times\u2026within seconds.<\/p>\n<p>As I tried it with others and dug into the research, I found that these kinds of results are fairly common.<\/p>\n<p>Changing lighting could make a difference on reaction times, vision speed, transition speed, and more.<\/p>\n<p>This is great if you can swap out the lighting where you\u2019re shooting, but what if you can\u2019t?<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where the lenses of your glasses come in.<\/p>\n<p>Now, I wish I could just tell you to get a certain kind of glasses and be done with it, but the fact is that my neurology is probably different from yours, and your friends, and their other friends.<\/p>\n<p>So, here\u2019s how you figure out the best shooting glasses FOR YOU.<\/p>\n<p>The right glasses will probably depend on the kind of light that you\u2019ll be shooting under but for the majority of people, they&#8217;re going to perform better wearing glasses that block out excess blue, like my friend Jordan demonstrates here:<\/p>\n<div style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\"><iframe style=\"position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%;

href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\/averagetoelite\">Average To Elite Performance<\/a> on <a href=\"https:\/\/vimeo.com\">Vimeo<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You may do better with different lenses depending on whether you\u2019re shooting under incandescent light, LED\/fluorescent light, or outdoors.<\/p>\n<p>I shoot best with amber or reddish lenses inside under LED and florescent light and polarized lenses outside under natural sunlight.<\/p>\n<p>For indoor shooting, I suggest figuring out the best lenses under cool lighting\u2026which is what you\u2019ll find in most retail locations that use LEDs and fluorescent light.<\/p>\n<p>What you\u2019re going to want to do is follow this pattern:\u00a0 Warm up-Baseline assessment-Test-Re-assess<\/p>\n<p>I\u2019ll give you 3 assessments that you can use, but you may have one that you already know that works well for you.<\/p>\n<p>Three of the assessments that I use are:<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>Toe touch flexibility<\/li>\n<li>Balancing on one leg<\/li>\n<li>Rotating at the waist with the feet solidly on the ground, shoulder width apart and testing range of motion of your arms.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Let\u2019s take the toe touch as an example.<\/p>\n<p>What you want to do is warm up by bending forward as far as you can without pain.\u00a0 It doesn\u2019t matter whether you can only touch your knees, touch your toes, or touch the ground 8\u201d behind your heels.<\/p>\n<p>Just do it a few times to get warmed up and get a baseline of where your flexibility is at.<\/p>\n<p>Now, pick a lens to wear, walk 5-10 paces, turn around, go back to where you started, and test your flexibility without pain again.<\/p>\n<p>There may be no difference at all, you could see a positive effect, or a negative effect.<\/p>\n<p>Keep trying different lenses and different colored lenses until you find the one that your brain likes the most.<\/p>\n<p>At any point, feel free to go back to assessing your flexibility without any lenses on to see if your flexibility has changed from the baseline.\u00a0 There\u2019s no reason to use carny tricks to create a false result\u2026you want REAL results.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the thing.\u00a0 Ideally, your brain will be so resilient that changing lenses won\u2019t make any difference at all to how well you perform&#8211;that&#8217;s just not normal.<\/p>\n<p>So, if you don\u2019t see any difference with any lens, that\u2019s a very good thing.<\/p>\n<p>For balancing on one leg, this assessment works if you can consistently stand on one foot for 5-10 seconds without getting wobbly or falling.\u00a0 If you can\u2019t do it for 5 seconds, or if you stand like a statue for 15 or more seconds, then this isn\u2019t an effective assessment for you.<\/p>\n<p>For rotating at the waist, it\u2019s important to keep your hands together and don\u2019t let them slide and it\u2019s important to keep your feet flat and don\u2019t let them roll at all.\u00a0 If you slide your hands or roll your feet, you can create the appearance of an increase in flexibility where it doesn\u2019t really exist.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium

isn\u2019t to show improvement\u2026it\u2019s to accurately assess whether or not your brain likes one pair of glasses or lenses better than another.<\/p>\n<p>What about shoes?<\/p>\n<p>With shoes and sandals, you can go through the same assessment and re-assessment process, but in addition to walking a few paces, you want to stimulate the cerebellum a little by gently (no pain) bouncing up and down on your heels a few times.<\/p>\n<p>With just these 2 factors\u2026glasses and shoes\u2026you can generate some pretty amazing (and nearly instant) changes in performance without even having to change technique.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re changes that will not only help you shoot better with less effort, but they\u2019ll improve your overall quality of life during the 99% of the time that you\u2019re not shooting.<\/p>\n<p>This is an example of some of the high-speed performance neurology based drills that we cover in Draw Stroke Mastery and it\u2019s how we\u2019re able to help shooters make way more dramatic improvements in performance than what\u2019s possible with traditional firearms training approaches.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re serious about self-defense performance with
