Hi
It could also be your trigger position is slightly too far forward and you are inducing movement to the left as you activate the trigger.

Re: Old eyes
Hi Martin Sounds like your lens prescription is set up to focus on the front sight too much. Try a lens power which focuses your eye on the target more. Probably just needs an increase of -0.25 on your current prescription to help see the target better. But be prepared, you won't see the front sight...

Re: New to diopters on rifle, eye strain concerns.
Try your rear iris at approx 1.1mm. This will give better depth of field so that both your target and foresight will be closer to being in focus all at the same time.
At 1.8mm you will only be able to see either the foresight, or the target, in focus at one time.

Re: Cateracts and seeing the target
Hi Gort I had the same experience with floaters. I had moderate to bad floaters in my right eye for many years and I found using 1.4 - 1.5 mm rear iris gave a reasonable sight picture. My theory is that with a std 1.1mm rear iris, you look through any eye imperfections and all the aberrations that g...

Re: Problem with SCATT being Off-Call
Hi Barry, If they are IR 10m Scatt's, it could be interference between the two units picking up the IR beams from the other unit's target. But after 4 years of no problems, I had some strange behaviour from my MX-02, I noticed the zero shifting when live firing with 22 smallbore. The zero would move...

Re: the dominance of Capapie shooting suits
I found the fit of my Capapie jacket is much better than all four of my previous KT jackets. This is due to the factory being able to translate my measurements into a coat that has fitted me well and gives a very stable sling position. And although my Sauer coat fit was also fantastic and I shot ver...

Re: MEC Swap
I used a Swap unit for 4 months after a PVD/retinal tear in my aiming eye. I shot 400/400 on the English 25 yard indoor cards so they work very well. It has quite a limited field of view and it was a bit difficult to tell when I was perfectly centered. I tried it at 50m but gave up because I had no ...

Re: Fresnel Lenses, Cataract Surgery, and Sight Picture
mhampel, What discipline are you shooting? I am assuming iron sights if you want to use a Duplex? Before you splash out money on a Duplex I would try to diagnose your issue by eliminating any other reasons for your wild shots. If you can get access to a Scatt I would use it to help with diagnosing t...

Re: Shooting Glasses Help
Tim is correct. +0.25 is the part of your prescription that you increase by +0.5 to pull your focus back towards the front sight. Your astigmatism (Cyl) is -2.50, at an angle of 176 degrees. Normally this doesn't change for a shooting lens. Normally PD is the distance between your pupils, looks like...

Re: Anschutz Match 54.30 1918 Precise Stock sights ?
Hi Peter As Tim says, sounds like your front bloop tube isn't aligned correctly. You need to adjust the bloop tube clamp so it is centred. Re-centre your rear sight. Then fire a shot (it will hit out to the right) Loosen the bloop tube clamp (rear two screws). Then loosen the bloop tube (front two s...

You need a Anschutz Monoframe. It attaches to the rear sight and holds a 25mm lens. https://ahg.anschuetz-sport.com/index.php5?menu=46&sprache=1&seite=83&produktID=419 Sounds like you need to re-visit your lens prescription if the target is that blurry. But having a stable lens might jus...

Re: front sight eagle eye
OK, I'm confused again. I would have thought that if the lens was between the eye and the fore sight, it would magnify both the sight element and the target. However if the lens was between the fore sight and the target, it would simply magnify the target. You aren't confused, your statement is ent...
