I noticed my scopes were blurry this fall when I was brushing up on my holds before hunting season.
Luckily, I got a scope from Franklink this summer with AO, so I could use the focus to see what I was aiming at.
The real problem: I only have one scope with AO, so I was stuck using my Sniper XR (the gun it's on) for hunting.
I really wanted to be able to grab my Avenger for those longer shots but I just couldn't see the targets clearly. Even close up work with my Notos was blurry!
I was super frustrated!
Now some might have rescoped each gun with an AO scope.
I chose to make an appointment to get my eyes checked.
That trip to the eye Dr. confirmed that I needed glasses! So much for reading the bottom line on the eye chart like I did last time I got my eyes checked 25yrs ago.
I had been using reading glasses to shoot but that was not ideal because I use the two eye open method while shooting. I've found that method lets me quickly switch which eye I'm using. Being able to do that lets me track squirrels without looking up from the scope and thus lets me stay on target as they run through the trees. I can't do that with reading glasses because the scope view is clear but then I can't see out of the non-scope eye without flipping up the glasses.
So after waiting for 10 days I got my glasses. And after another 10 days, I'm still getting used to them.
I am in love with the fact that my scope image is crystal clear again, the squirrels not so much.
Because I had my glasses on, I caught this fat boy sitting on a branch almost perfectly camouflaged against the forest back drop. A flick of his tail gave him away.
I got him with a perfect head shot right between the eye and ear.
He hung upside down by a back leg for about 10 seconds and then fell to the forest floor.
So now that I can see, I might take the scope off the Notos and go back to the red dot so I can put that scope back on my .22lr.
Anyone else have the glasses revelation?
