I've worn glasses since the age of 13, now 59. I'm near sighted with an astigmatism, wear no-line bifocals as for close up stuff (reading, detail work, etc.) I don't need any correction.
I used to do some of my pistol drills without my glasses (only safety/shooting glasses for protection) but have gotten away from that for the past year or so. I do this in case a situation were to arise where things went wrong and I lost/broke/dropped/whatever my glasses.
This evening I tried it again with my full size 9mm M&P that has the Ameriglo i-dot sights. This front sight really jumps out for me, using a modified Isoceles, more like making a diamond with my elbows slightly bent outward (I modeled this after watching Brian Enos a looong time ago in Arizona). The front sight is in very sharp focus for me at this distance.
These pics are just examples of what I accomplished using 115gr American Eagle fmj. On the paper plate I shot 5 shots at the following distances (all in feet): 7,10, 15, 20, 25, 30 and 35. The only timing on this target I did was starting with my pistol holstered, fired the first shot and then the rest as soon as I realigned my sights. The small circle target was 5 rounds at 7 feet taking my time. At all of these distances the targets were very out of focus.
Prior to these I also ran some very fast drills on the full target on a timer with it facing me for 2 seconds then turning away, repeated 3 times (double taps, strong hand only) at both 5 and 7 feet.
Just thought some of you would find this interesting, thanks.
