A lot of years ago I was a world class rifle shooter. Won a small pile of 14k medals from Uncle Sam. Was 'asked' to participate in the 1964 summer olympics, but decided not to reinlist. Dumb ass kid. Thought I had the world by a string. Worked presidential security, then HMX-1. Walked through the white house with a pistol strapped on. Way to smart for own good.

At 60 had to get a defib/pacemaker installed, and that ended the rifle shooting. The doctors told me that the way the things were wired up, shoulder slamming recoil was a thing of the past. Time to learn more about pistol shooting.

Time passes on. Wore glasses/contacts for years. Then I hit 70 and cataracts. Had a great doctor. He fixed the left eye first, GREAT vision for any distance over three feet. Then the shooting eye, not quite so good. Decent sight over three feet, but at p'istol target distance I had a bit of fuzzy going on. I am trying to switch to non-dominant eye, and it tough going. Scheduled for exam with doctor in about 45 days. It may be that the right eye can be 'touched-up', or I will have to go back to some type of glasses.
