this is the kind of shit that happens when you have a decent optometrist.<\/p>\n

Yesterday the daughter and I head off to Molenaar Eyecare<\/a> for our annual, and though they close at noon on saturday, we didn’t leave till two. I spent some time discussing my shooting with the Dr, and he spent some time showing me pictures of his trip to Three Corners on his Harley.<\/p>\n

Anyway. I’ve been having some trouble with iron sight shooting with the contacts, and I had better luck with glasses, and I explained my troubles. Dr Wes swings the phoropter<\/a> out of the way, grabs a handful of lenses from a trial lens set, and we walk outside. <\/p>\n

He tries several lenses and combinations, until I have a right-eye lens that tones down the double vision, sharpens up the sight picture, and lets me see the rifle sights. Well, at the time I’m only guessing, becuase I don’t have the rifle with me. “Why didn’t you bring it?” “I didn’t think it was a good idea to show up at my doctor’s office with a rifle” “Nonsense. Next time, make sure you bring your rifle” In the meantime, he gives me the array of lenses above. 7.50’s for my left eye (two brands) a 7.00 for the left and 5.50 for the right (for computer work) and an array of lenses to test afield.
\nSo yesterday afternoon I put in the 7.00 and one of the ‘test” lenses, a 6.50. <\/p>\n

The sights snapped into focus, and a 750 yard distant object was in close enough focus to see clearly without double vision or blurriness, and I cannot wait to get my ass to the range. I’d be there now, in fact, were it not for the 39 degree temp and freezing rain. <\/p>\n

Wait, 39? I can maybe do that. Maybe a range trip IS in order. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
