I'm farsighted now, without my specs I can see the target and not the sights, with the specs I see the sights and not the target. we are starting to sound like a bunch of old fogeys now, next we'll be talking about our medicines and difficulty peeing or pooping.

That is part of my problem. I naturally shoot right handed. so shooting a rifle I have a hard time focusing on the front sight because of my vision in that eye. Over the years I have learned to shoot left handed. I am left eye dominant.

i shoot a 3x9-50 mm Bushnell. 3200 elite on my .270. I love it. especially like on my lease, I hunt the bottoms sometimes, it gets dark in there quick. but can still see through that 50mm.

yeah hellbilly thats what I'm talkin about, brush so thick you couldnt fall down. still cant figure out how those big bucks get their antlers thru it so fast and so quiet. what action and caliber do you use. plus if the weather is rainy/foggy or your moving thru a slippery swamp I'll tend to use open sights more

mines a winchester xtr lever 375 cal, and I reload hornady 220 grain flat points. don't want to use any pointy bullets in a tube mag. not such a great selection of flat points in that cal . I'll have to look up those evolutions, thanks for the tip.
