Hey Guys!
I have bifocal glasses for near reading and far seeing. I also have a single vision pair of eyeglasses just for computer use. I asked the eye doctor to set the focus of those at 30 inches -- the distance from my eyes to the computer screen. I happened to be wearing those at the computer the other day when I picked up a revolver to dry fire (a computer boredom break) and pointed it at the neighbor's mailbox (after checking three times that the cylinder was empty). THAT WAS THE BEST SIGHT PICTURE I HAVE SEEN IN YEARS !!! The mailbox picture wasn't too bad, and the sights were astoundingly sharp. Just the way the experts say it should be. I am going to use my computer glasses next time I am at the range, and if it works. maybe I'll get a clunky plastic frame (inexpensive) pair of bifocals just for shooting and hunting, with the lower part set at 30 inches and cut high the way Jack Monteith suggested so I don't have to keep flipping my head back. Good idea. Maybe I'll go for the yellow tint too. I've heard about that for a long time.
DOES ANYONE KNOW if it matters to have a particular shade of yellow for hunting in the woods in both low light and midday conditions?
