Like so many of you out there, my eyes aren't what they used to be. So at 55 those open sights are looking fuzzier and fuzzier as time goes by. But even though my accuracy might be suffering with age, I still like to shoot my old Enfield, Mosin/Nagant , or Mauser the way they were issued.
So when I went to the eye doc recently and asked him what might help, I was disappointed when he didn't have any useful suggestions. Fortunately I found an article that mentioned Clear 2 Target sighting discs. I knew about stick on diopters in the past, but I never could justify the cost, especially when I wasn't sure they would do the trick. Then comes along Clear 2 Target discs. These are simple little plastic diopter discs which are "removeable/reuseable or disposable." Simply peel and stick onto your glasses. They come 8 to a sheet and believe it or not, they only cost $5.95 a sheet, plus shipping (about $8.50 shipped.) http://www.clear2target.com
And the great news.... they work!
You'll need to move the disc around a bit on you glasses lens until you find the "sweet spot" that matches your shooting stance, but that only took me about 30 seconds. My sight picture was remarkably improved. I'm not certain how they work, but I think it is something about the eyes ability to focus between two objects. Then again.... who cares why.... they work like magic for me!Happy Shooting
