Lol, cheers Bugman, mate I know the feeling, my eyes are getting a little dodgy now I'm starting to wind out the ocular lense more and more.
Am thinking about shooting with glasses, do you use when you shoot and what's it like?
cheers,

Were you walking out to get each one when you shot it, or just wait and pick them all up at once?

What's it like with glasses? In may case a tad difficult with open sights BUT with the diopter adjustment set correctly for me, I don't use my glasses. Works for me.

I have worn trifocals for the last 5 years My head position on the stocks the is the most important thing I find not sure if I could take snap shots anymore with a scope peep sights yes or reflex are ok . Pistol funny thing not a problem
Die Judicii wrote:Glasses,,,,,,, (interesting by topic), but as you asked the question Elmer, I'll put my 2 cents worth in here as I'm sure there will be many other contributions.
I in latter life have only ever wore el cheapo magnifying glasses for reading.
About 6 months ago, I noticed that my general long distance sight had dropped slightly,,, so I thought I'd get some prescription glasses specially for
the purpose of shooting.
After having all the testing etc they recommended glasses ( I had specified that I wanted them just for shooting, and mainly at night. )
So I paid the money, and in due time got the glasses.
I should've kept my wallet in my pocket.
After a couple of weeks trialing them, I packed them away and have never used them since.
I found that they made not the tiniest amount of difference.
Maybe in a few years more I might dust them off and try again.

With respect to glasses and shooting I've been very short-sighted since about 12 years old. Being relatively new to rifle shooting I've had to wear glasses, both with scoped rifles and also my 10 m. air rifles with dioptre sights. Without glasses I cannot use open sights. I wear graduated lenses which are generally excellent for everyday use, but found that I was not always finding the 'sweet' spot when sighting through a rifle scope as general purpose spectacles are not necessarily designed for rifle shooting. I often found myself re-focusing the eye piece to bring the cross hairs back into focus as best I could as my sighting eye became tired and I experienced a ghosting' effect. My head position on the stock was also 'variable' as I moved my head to try to find the right spot in the lens of the glasses. I'm now wearing a pair of safety glasses with my reading prescription only for shooting and the 'sweet' spot being set in the lens so that my head position on the cheek rest brings my eye to the correct sighting level through the glasses and then the 'scope. If I need to walk around the paddock I simply put on my general spectacles. I bought the safety glasses after watching the explosion of the .50 cal. rifle that blew up in the face of Scott from Kentucky Ballistics. Up to that time I had not considered eye protection and simply relied on my ordinary spectacles. So far the new glasses are fine and I'm not having any ghosting or double image problems. My head position is more stable and still, hence my accuracy has improved greatly.
