Thats a nice group. Its a good thing you didn't give up after the first attempt. I've heard many say that aperature sights are the way to go, although I have not tried them. Yet.

Chris,took awhile to get used to it but once I did their great even with old eyes. If you know someone who uses them ask to try, you might just might be surprise how great they are.

Skinners/aperature sights are the way to go, short of an optic.

I bought a pair of the SSP shooting glasses that have the focal area placed higher on the lenses. Work really well!

So this time I taped the bottom part of the trifocals so no more bobble head trying to get the right sight picture.
GREAT IDEA .... I've never thought of taping a lens .... please keep posting updates

I just sent a pair back. The focal area placed higher did not work for me, it was giving me a stiff neck. Should get the ones with it lower tomorrow.
