Itskeith Posted July 2 Report Share Posted July 2 Hi Everyone. So I’m short sighted and normally wear glasses. I’ve been shooting .22LR BR for 18 mths ish and when I do, I don’t wear glasses and use a blinder attached to the scope. I’ve just started shooting a club centrefire rifle with a scope and not using glasses and seem to be managing ok-ish for early days (I've only has 2 visits and so not really got onto wind reading yet as I'm just learning to manage recoil and trigger control (it’s a lot heavier than the club Anschutz)! I’m just starting to think if it would be useful to have a prescription lens over my left eye to see grass / trees / windsocks etc. How does everyone else who is short sighted manage with a scoped rifle. Do you: Have glasses with prescription lens for your non dominant eye and a clear lens for your scope eye? Or Use only your dominant eye without glasses and do all your wind reading through the scope? Many thanks. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Gun Pimp Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 Without glasses and windflags through a scope - for F Class. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcampbellsmith Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 I'm short sighted and have astigmatism. I wear varifocals for all forms of shooting (rifle and shotgun). I know I'm giving away some precision indoors at .22 prone, but I can live with that. Outdoors, I need to see both through the scope and the environment around me.

Akeld Posted July 3 Report Share Posted July 3 I'm short sighted, but wear contacts. With the club rifle, do you set the scope up for yourself? or just use as is, having a scope set up purely for your vision will make a big difference Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Itskeith Posted July 3 Author Report Share Posted July 3 Many thanks everyone and much appreciated. I'm using a club rife and just use the scope as is (only adjusting parallax / focus and POA each time if need be). Good news that a scope permanently set up for me (and better quality at that) will make a big difference. Best wishes. Keith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
