There are two age groups for shooters:
1. those below forty years.....meaning they do not require corrective glasses for near vision
2.Above forty: Require corrective glasses for clear near/intermediate vision.
My question: I am near fifty and use a plus correction for distance which is about + 1. For reading I use addition of +2...that means I use + 3 for near. For intermediate (eg focussing on the front sight) I would need to use about +2. Now is that the correction I should use or should I use my distance power with which the target is in perfect focus(which is not good?) and the sights are blurred.
And should a shooter above forty with perfect distance vision use some + correction to get the front sight in perfect focus.
Using near/intermediate glasses gives me the other advantage of not being able to focus clearly on the target at any time hence allowing me to ignore the target more easily. Comments?
