To see my sights on a handgun, revolver or automatic, I need my reading
glasses (off the Foster Grant stand).
Without them the target is sharp but the sights are very faint though I am aware of where the front sight is.
I've become a fan of Grant Cunningham and he advises to focus on the
target and learn to point the handgun from eye level but not seeing the
sights clearly. Which is exactly how I am without my reading glasses.
Following his advice, I've been shooting pretty well out to about 10 yards; meaning, I can keep my rounds within a 10-inch circle or area. Hardly think putting three neat holes in nearly one spot is either practical or possible in a confrontational situation any way.
I suspect that if I needed to draw a handgun, I'd not be having my reading glasses handy tho I always carry a pair in my shirt pocket.
Now, unless I want "target shooting" type groups, I have been practicing
regularly without my reading glasses (safety glasses on, of course).
And no, I'm not going to get some sort of bifocal glasses.
Any similar experiences out there?
