Re: Sight Picture Troubles

My daughter states she is now having problems determining if the target is in the middle. we have used Anshutz 3.7 - 4.0 18mm clear w/ bevel ring sized apertures. Any ideas what to try?? I know your brain suppose to be able to that automatically. ??? Sound like you need to try a "Centra Hi End...

Re: shooting glasses

Check out MEC glasses. I had Champion Super Olympic's and changed to MEC. The MEC takes a little more time to adjust but once set they stay put better and are a LOT cheaper.

Re: Who was the near champion 84 year old shooter?

You are talking about Joe Farmer and he is 86 years old. Shooting wise he is one of the best.

Re: Getting 25mm Champion Lenses made in NE Ohio?

Does anyone know of an optician in NE Ohio that can grind to size lenses for my 25mm Champion Frames? I was going to use 10.9, as they had a vendor that could do it, but they dropped that vendor due to spotty delivery times. Right now, 10.9 does offer some basic lenses in 25mm, but I need astigmati...

Re: Rear Iris

When I shot my friends rifle (he wanted to know if it shot or whether it was him - it was him) I initially set the iris to where I would normally have it and dialed in the focus to give a sharpish foresight but the aiming mark was REALLY grey and indistinct. the only way I could get an acceptable s...

Why?
Better barrel, best trigger out there, better action. I own both.

Re: Iron Sight Offset Blocks

Alan,Tim and David, Thanks for your reply and I never though that there may be a "modified NSRA rule" in place. Maybe the NSRA can help but the NRA in the US is difficult to work with. The shooter in the US going for a Dewar team are told to comply with British rules and as I read the rule...

Re: Iron Sight Offset Blocks

If you think that your "+0.25 astigmatism" lens was hard to adjust you should try and get a sph= -2.67 cyl= +1.75 @ 51* lens lined up in shooting glasses. If you can get it right you must have your head in EXACTLY the same spot each time. If I could attach the lens to the sight I could ge...

Re: Iron Sight Offset Blocks

From the program for NotPerry this year: "Anyone wishing to be considered for the Dewar Team should fire the metallic sight matches with “British legal” equipment, i.e., 40 mm sling, optics in front or rear sight, not both." So you could mount the corrective lens in the back, but you woul...

Alan,
I just checked and the "8.4 rule" quoted is the NSRA rule.

Re: Iron Sight Offset Blocks

I'm pretty sure that there are shooters at my club that use both an Eagle Eye in the foresight and a vision correcting lens mounted on the rear sight. It is important that you check the NSRA rules for the UK and NOT the NRA (GB). Our NRA only controls Fullbore TR in the UK and as I recall they DO N...

Re: Iron Sight Offset Blocks

If I use a lens mounted on the sight I can not shoot on the US Dewar team as the brits do not allow them. Are you absolutely sure about that Ed? If you use an Eagle Eye in the foresight and a lens attached to the rearsight then I'd agree - but I don't think that a standard (non-magnifying) foresigh...

Re: Iron Sight Offset Blocks

I also used to shoot in contacts, and had issues with drying eyes, moving contacts, and an inconsistent sight picture. Have you considered a pair of shooting glasses instead of the contact? Or, since you're only shooting NRA prone, you could even mount the lens straight on the gun. Might be easier/...
