In my youth, I liked to shoot, and I shot well. My father taught me when I was a child. And I love math! LOL. I think I could not give a better and clearer explanation.

Unfortunately, due to work (and age, I guess) my vision has deteriorated a lot, and once I could see 120%. It's a shame not being able to aim well if I see the occupier with my own eyes.

I read your post with great pleasure. You are too hard on yourself. Your illustrations are quite good and you are a very good storyteller. My respect!

Good vision is required to shoot well, at close range or long range as small margins of error will more often than not result in a miss downrange. Most shooters only operate at ranges out to 300 meters, hunters etc. as beyond that (generally) specialist equipment is needed. No matter how good the equipment is though, without good eyesight a shooting accurately isn't possible.

Maybe with the right pair of glasses you could shoot again?

Thanks for your comment.

I wear Oakley wrap-around glasses when shooting, always have...as have almost every person I've ever shot with; eye protection is always a good idea. In the last several years those glasses have been prescription. I also use my general prescription glasses when I shoot at night as the Oakley's are too dark.

Well, my current Oakley's are prescribed lenses so I can read with them (I only use glasses to read and shoot) and my reading glasses are more about reading, seeing the front sight and reticles when I shoot. At gun ranges around the world wearing glasses is mandatory.
