Glasses for iron sighted revolvers?
Does anyone in Kansas know an eye doctor that knows how to set up glasses for a revolver shooter?
I don't wear glasses during the day yet, but have been using readers for a year maybe a bit more now. When I got my .32 single six back from Bowen last year, Sixshot gave me some loads. I tried all of them I could come up with powder for and couldn't shoot better than a 2.5" to 3" group at 20 yards with any of them. After realizing my sight picture was just a hair fuzzy, I finally got the idea to look at my sights in the house with my new $10 reading glasses, and at that moment realized why I couldn't shoot even a decent group on paper. During the time I'd been out of the game shooting revolvers up until the .32 came back, which was well over a year, I'd started going blind. I went through trying to get glasses at a place where no one has any familiarity with a gun at all, and after the third attempt I finally had to pitch my cards and walk out of the game. Looking for an eye doctor who gets that I need to have the vision I need to run my sights and see my target at the very top of a set of glasses made specifically for a hunter.
Guys, appreciate the input here. Ended up having to order the frames I want, and the dealer I got them from is quite willing to help in this dept., so all the input in one spot here will be handy to show him to compare notes. After a lot of discussion with a few eye folks, I'm going to see how well I can make the progressives Ray is talking about work, and see if I can adapt my shooting form to deal with the focal position on them or not. If it isn't gonna work to shoot, then we'll still have a baseline to go off of to try and move forward. Anybody else feel free to chime in.
