Try this. Unscrew the clamp in the lens holder a little, and rotate the lens a little in both directions. It may help you. Here is the reason. When you have your eyes examined generally they have you rest your chin on a pad in a machine while changing lenses etc. Finally everything comes together an...

When I went to my optometrist for a shooting glasses prescription, I just asked for a front sight focal distance in my dominant eye and distance in my non-dominant eye. For me, it was a focal distance of 34 inches. I got a set of Rudy Project Rydon shooting glasses and it has been awesome! Are you ...

I did visit eyebuydirect, and the tarantino frames look like a good fit for shooting. I was impressed by the large lenses which should make it easy to use. I plan to spend some more time on their website this afternoon when I get home from work.

Thank's for the tip.

Just to be a square wheel; for pistol I add 0.75 diopter and for rifle 0.5 diopter to my normal distance prescription. Make sure that you use the negative sign if your normal distance prescription has such. The "tarantino" frame at eyebuydirect is somewhat flexible, allowing a little bend...

That is very impressive. It looks professionally made like it came out of a factory. Much nicer looking than my old knobloch glasses.

Every day I am impressed with the things people are making using 3D printing.

Here's a suggestion, if you want to see the front sight on a pistol very clearly, add about 1 to 1.25 diopter to your normal vision perscription. I came up with this by borrowing some of my wife's drugstore readers, and trying them on over my regular glasses while holding the pistol. I wear perscrip...

I recently switched to the Crosman 7.4 grain wadcutters in the bulk milk cartons. Less than a penny per shot, and they group better than I can shoot in all 5 of my airguns. I will never be in the Olympics, so why waste my money on more expensive pellets. If I ever get better than my cheap pellets, I...

Wow 80 years still shooting . Salute !! Tumbs up Well I am not shooting in matches, just for my own enjoyment at home. I have 10 meters with my back almost against the wall. Recently I purchased a Crosman Challenger to work on my rifle offhand, because I do plan to shoot some local Highpower rifle ...

My group smaller after i add some after travel lol... Its matter of personal taste and technic. The reason it helps me is because the moment the trigger stops moving, there is no more finger and hand motion, not counting normal hold wobble. I think considering how much longer the lock and barrel ti...

Eliminating that 1/4 inch of excess trigger travel really helped to shrink my groups.

I liked it so much that I did the same mod to my Beeman P17 a few minutes ago. It's so easy and simple to do.

Having modified the grips on my new FAS 6004, and adjusted the trigger, there was one more task I wanted to accomplish; install a trigger stop. After studying pictures of the original trigger travel stop on the FAS 604, and reviewing all my options, it appeared that the easiest way was to glue in a ...

Here is an even better solution. The Merit iris. They have a tiny suction cup, and can be placed anywhere on your glasses. By adjusting the iris, you can bring the front and rear sight along with the target into sharp vision. They sell for about $50.00, and as it is not mounted to the pistol, I thin...

I know this is an old thread, but the subject is still relevant. Having just purchased a new FAS 6004, I too have been trying to understand how the trigger adjustment works. One of the problems is there are 2 springs that regulate the trigger weight. One is under the weight adjustment screw, and ano...

If you are looking for matches, I think that they have snallbore, and air gun matches at Coyote Point near San Mateo. Also informal air gun leagues in the winter at United Sportsmen in Concord.
I live in Oakland, and may try the matches in Concord. At 80 y/o I cannot expect too much.

A few years ago I visited my eye doctor at kaiser, and obtained a perscription for computer distance, which also turned out to be perfect for pistol shooting at arms length. Rather than getting bifocals or trifocals, I purchsed a pair of single vision glasses from Zinnei optical on line for about $2...

The nice thing about the saline solution is that it is very inexpensive, and a bottle seems to last forever. I don't mind the stinging, because it makes me think that something good is happening. I only use it in the evenings before going to sleep. Regarding diopters, I use Knobloch shooting glasses...

You might also try this: Sodium chloride ophthalmic solution 5% Put a few drops in each eye before going to sleep. It helps reduce swelling under the cornia, and really reduces eye strain and swelling the next day. It's available at Walgreens under their house brand, or you can pay more for a brand ...

I had the surgery done on both hands back in the 70s, and never regretted it. I regained complete use of both hands, and never had any issues after all these years. I had it done for free at the VA hospital in Charleston SC. Anything else is just delaying the inevitable. Now that I have recently tur...
