Re: How do you handle being farsighted?

I've been wrestling with the very same problem for the last 3,000 rounds sent downrange. Just a couple of weeks ago I had a bit of a shooting breakthrough (epiphany as the fancy folks say) - I focus downrange with the three dot sights blurry but lined up. It's kind of difficult to describe but if you have ever shot skeet, clays, birds with a shotgun, it's sort of the same principal - at least for me. You don't line up the shotgun sights, you have a particular position the shotgun rests against your shoulder/cheek and you 'learn' where the shotgun will shoot as you focus on where the duck/clay/whatever will be in the future. I'm learning where the blurry dots should be in relation to the target :thumbs2: .

At least this is my recipe for defensive shooting. If you are target shooting, maybe a different prescription would be a big help - however I have progressive lenses and I can't imagine a change that would make a big difference.
