At a 25 yard indoor range, using a 4X scope, I found myself looking at a blurry little red dot in the middle of a blurry black circle. While I still had about a two inch group with a couple of three inch flyers, it certainly wasn't anything like I could do back in the days when I could actually see what I was ****ing shooting at.  At 25 yards with a scoped rifle I should be hitting a quarter-sized group.
I guess I could go to the eye doctor and ask for a different prescription for specific shooting glasses, but in the current political climate I'm kind of reluctant to do that. Does anybody know of any sort of shooting glasses that specifically address this problem? There's gotta be a market for it. |
I've heard that green dots work much better for bad vision and astigmatism. Just over the last year or so, I've been developing astigmatism, and it ****ing sucks. My view of the red dot now has tiny red glare wings coming off both sides. Fortunately, it's symmetrical enough that I can still easily find the center dot. But getting old sucks.
I wasn't aware that there were shooting glasses that could reduce that..
