Glasses... who knew?

Lol

Whoa! Nice shootin'
Cool gun.
You got to see to shoot? I'll add that to my notes

They do? I should look into that. I wonder where I could get some glasses?

I heard of this shade tree optometrist who frequents gun forums. Sounds like a nut to me.

Aren’t all WalMart workers nuts?

Actually, I'm just an optician, but thanks for the Dr's degree!

And yes, all Walmart associates are nuts in one way or another. It's a requirement for the job.

Very strange theory you have about seeing the sights and all. Someone should look into it

What can I say, I went to a college that had an optometry school. There were no opticians. Haha.

I don’t see why you need an obstetrician to be able to shoot.

When i got my glasses. I asked for them to be set. Where the focal point starts at 18 inches. They work excellent for shooting. I can see the sights well and the target. I had the lenses made with polycarbonate too.

That's a two-year school. as is optical lab tech, but I learned both on-the-job.

Well, you set a target on the wall across from the delivery table........

Nice shooting! Interesting grips, very cool!

Yup, amazing how well that works. Nice shooting.

Just wait until you need bifocals. It becomes a whole new ballgame.

Digging those grips!

Were you wearing them or did you put them on your gun?? LOL

Good shooting Congrats!

Great shooting.

Who'da thunkit?

Are you sure it wasn't the fancy grips behind that fine shootin'?

From someone who used to make rx glasses thank you for getting poly lenses. They are so much easier to work with then regular lenses. Poly lenses don’t crack when setting them. Chipped/cracked many a lens during my time at national v.

And you weren't even in a rush to get them done in an hour like I was at that famous optical chain I worked at.

These are bifocals. progressives, scratch-resistant coating, polycarbonate lenses that will stop a shotgun blast... shame about the rest of my face, of course...

As a witness to the effectiveness of poly lenses protecting the eye, I will admit to a foible I committed a couple days ago. I was installing a buffer & spring in an AR and my fingers slipped, shooting the buffer up, it hitting the upper nasal area of my right lens. It left scratches on the lens, but that's a whole lot better than it could have been.

No wonder you're wearing that bandana, Tinker. I don't think it was a shotgun blast, though.....

I have some shooting glasses with a +1.25 diopter correction in the upper portion of the lens instead of the lower as with conventional bifocals. They let me have the front sight in focus without having to crane my neck backwards to focus out the bottom of my regular specs.
I only use them for sighting in though. I shoot with my regular glasses on as that's what I'll be wearing if I ever have to shoot when not on the range.

That's some mighty nice shooting, at any distance, and rapid fire with a .41 Magnum no less.
