This thread got me thinking… so as I have gotten older my eyesight is not what it once was. I have to use reading glasses. What can be done to help with this when shooting open sights. It is a real PITA.
Assuming your eyesight is aging like most people, two things will help. 1. An aperture rear sight. (AKA a tang sight, though other configurations exist). 2. Weak diopert in your shooting glasses.
If the aperture on the rifle isn't to your liking or if you want to experiment, a small pin hole stuck on your glasses will get it done. You can also find such things on Amazon along with inexpensive safety glasses with very mild diopters (e.g., +0.5 or +0.75). These in combination work very well for being able to see the front, rear sights and target. Some experimentation is required.
