My home range has natural light so I use the iris to control the amount of light I get. When the range light is too bright the front sight whites out on the edges.
Thanks!

That's great. If the only reason is field of view then I'm putting my iris on the outside where I can adjust it easier.
Thanks,
Vin

So, if my field of vision is acceptable, then having it on the other side is just as good?

Thanks for the help,
Vin

I've been told that the lens should be between the target and the iris.
Can anyone explain why?
Thanks,
Vin

I do use an occluder, but at the match I still had to close my left eye to get good focus... :(

*At home: With the .62 diopter lens I no longer seem to get tired and... I can now tell the difference between "ten ring" capable focus and "nine ring" capable focus. Two things have happen because of the differentiation. I abort a lot more often and then after too many aborts I ...

I really like your book.
It is very helpful!

As Retired suggests, I will try changing diopter and try to understand the results from the changes. Seems like something I should have done sooner...

BTW, blinking seems to snap my focus to the front sight sometimes- very cool.

Thanks!

Yesterday I did not read or use the computer.
I used a 1 diopter lens as usual and practice went very badly.
I could not get the bull to blur as usual.

My next competition will be in the morning and my eyes will be well rested.
Maybe I will need a higher diopter?

Thanks,
Vin

I guess I better find my small files...

I'm definitely forcing my focus!
My hand and the target are easy to focus on, but the front sight takes effort.
I started using a one diopter lens on 16MAR10 and that seems to help a lot.

Thanks,
Vin

Thanks for the hep.
I'm going to forget that idea...

Is there any popular rifle competition that is closer to street clothes?

Thanks,
Vin

Kruger and goldmedalshooting.com are great.

Hi,
Is there a air rifle competition that does not allow gloves, jacket, etc.?
Thanks,
Vin

My friend William just pointed out that the diffraction lines are most likely due to focusing on the rear sights.

I do seem to focus on the rear sights when my ayes get tired...

File my adjustable sights?
Not sure I have the nerve for that!

Thanks for the replies.

My rear notch is as wide as I can get it on the Benelli Kite Young.
But it is not wide enough so that the gap is half the width of the front sight.
I've looked for replacement front sights without any luck...

AKA Types of Blur I have been examining the different types of blur that I experience during my training. I am 20/15 with both eyes open and I use an iris (sharpie circle on my safety glasses) and a large occluder (tape on the other lens, all the way to the bridge of the nose). Haze Blur: Yellow haz...

I'm going to figure this whole thing out.
But not till after the match tomorrow.
Thanks for all the help!

Great picture!

My original plan was to drive up, but he has a eight to twelve week waiting period. If I can't fixing my equipment my self I will need two pistols.
