Eye sight slipping

Post by 7br »

My eyes have slipped to the point where I see two front posts. I would still like to continue to shoot iron sights. If I wear my prescription lenses, the front sight looks great, but the targets are fuzzy globs. Any suggestions? I have a merit and it helps, but not enough.

I'll soon be 71 so I feel your pain. I started using some Knobloch shooting glasses a couple of years ago. I have a +1.5 lense in it with an adjustable iris and a flip down blinder for my non-shooting eye. It has kept me in the game, at least for now.
