Not sure if this is the right forum, but I have finally identified a problem and solution I have been having for a while. I have a Primary Arms red dot sight sight on my Smith and Wesson M&P15-22, but have been having issues getting it zero'ed and once it is zero'ed, getting it to shoot in tight groups. Part of the problem is my lack of strength to hold the rails up for extended periods of time, but the other problem was my glasses.
I have some type of eye condition (I think it's called strabismus), where one eye dominantly looks at things and I only really use the other eye when the other is covered/closed. Well my dominant eye is my left eye, and thus my right eye is weaker. Apparently my optomologist has made the prescription in my glasses all funky so it forces my right eye to be used more, thus keeping it from being weak.
tl;dr: The right lens in my glasses is zoomed in a ton and makes it impossible for me to get the 3MOA red dot to focus down to a point instead of being a big blob. Thus, when I try to shoot at 50feet with a big red blob, my shots are all over the place. I cannot wait to get to the range to try shooting with out prescription glasses on. [Wiggle]
