RE: Range without tech

in Outdoors and more2 years ago

Good vision is required to shoot well, at close range or long range as small margins of error will more often than not result in a miss downrange. Most shooters only operate at ranges out to 300 meters, hunters etc. as beyond that (generally) specialist equipment is needed. No matter how good the equipment is though, without good eyesight a shooting accurately isn't possible.

Maybe with the right pair of glasses you could shoot again?

Thanks for your comment.

I put on glasses when reading or using the computer. But how to shoot in glasses?😒

I have shot guns wearing glasses for over thirty years.

Are you serious? I think I should try it again. No, I mean it. Thanks!

I wear Oakley wrap-around glasses when shooting, always have...as have almost every person I've ever shot with; eye protection is always a good idea. In the last several years those glasses have been prescription. I also use my general prescription glasses when I shoot at night as the Oakley's are too dark.

But can such glasses provide both protection and ... dioptres?

Well, my current Oakley's are prescribed lenses so I can read with them (I only use glasses to read and shoot) and my reading glasses are more about reading, seeing the front sight and reticles when I shoot. At gun ranges around the world wearing glasses is mandatory.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'll give it a try.
