As a guy rapidly approaching geezerhood, I find that unless a rifle is equipped with a scope I am having increasing difficulty in focusing on the target, front post and rear peep at the same time. I now have to wear "cheaters" or my contacts to read, but my distance vision is still very good.
If I wear my contacts or glasses, I get a very clear view of the rear peep and acceptable focus on the front post, but the target is a blurred mess. If I shoot without glasses or contacts, the target is sharpley in focus but see only blurs of the sights. Any advice or voices of experience out there?
And, exactly what should I be seeing and focusing on with the Garand sights? Should there be some type of "Ghost" ring appearing inside the rear peep aperture upon which I am to align the front post? (stupid question, I know, but I have not been able to find a graphic depiction or photo of the proper technique)
