Just curious what it is like for folks with unusually good eyesight and shooting. I've heard mention of people like Chuck Yeager and most of the big time trick shooters having incredible eyesight to where they can see things most of us cannot. What I remember reading is that there are two aspects: acuity and "speed" of seeing. That is, they can see much finer detail, like Yeager seeing enemy fighters three times further out than anyone else. And they can see objects in motion that are moving too fast for most of us to process.
But every time I come across this it is mentioned in passing and not described in detail or if it is like that into old age or deteriorates, or has any downsides. I worked with a guy who could airplanes many, many more miles out than any of the rest of us. The first time it was like Oh sure you see something, then ten minutes later a tiny speck of a plane shows up!
Any of you guys have this unusual eyesight or know someone real well who does? What is it like? Do the rest of us seem like blind fools stumbling around in a world only you can see?
