Thread: Shooting with corrective lenses for short sightedness

I’m in the same boat. Ocular lens screwed out to last few threads for focus. Just squeaking in at the moment.
Been looking for a fix and found this. Pushes onto ocular end and if does what it say could be the solution to the problem.
Give it another 6-12 months and I could be scrapping some $us together.

Im the same... almost..

Shootings fine, but I've got to put the damn things on to make sure I turn the dials the right way...

I’ve been wearing glasses and contacts for short sight correction for the last 40 odd years and the long sightedness issues have kicked in over the last few years. Very frustrating when you want to see something up close like the scope adjustments. I’ve just changed to multi focal contacts which have worked for me - no more need for the reading glasses for the moment. The prices for these used to be much more than normal contacts but prices have come down a lot for the the multi focals recently. They are very different from progressive glasses in that the different parts of the contacts are in concentric circles meaning that different angles of the face when shooting don’t matter. These don’t work for everyone but highly recommended

For prone shooting you’re often looking through the top part of the spectacle lens. People doing smallbore used to get a specialpair made with the optical centre groundat the point you looked through when shooting.

That bullz eye pro sounds a bit like the dioptre fullbore shooters use. Ive tried one and the target seemed a good 1.5x bigger through aperture sights. Quite blurry because it wasnt my own but much appreciated.

A lump of bluetack on bridge of the glasses can lift the spectacles higher to solve this problem.

I'm nearly legally blind and have a specialised contact lens.
I shoot with a scope and haven't had problems shooting prone or seated.

My son shots with either scope or target rifle sights with spectacles. Hasn't had too many problems.
