But I can see the front sight without glasses.  It's far enough away not to need my reading scrip, and not so far away I need my distance scrip.  (For now, which is why I hang on every word these 60-70-80-something fellows say about vision and shooting.)  The target isn't clear, especially if I'm shooting bulls with rings, but I'm not bad off--indoors in dim light is the worst, then a silhouette target is a big black, buff, or white thing with fuzzy edges at 50 feet.  But the front sight is clear and sharp enough, and that's what counts.

I know this doesn't sound like help with a target pistol like your SRO, because you kinda sorta want to see the rings, but the fact is, you can't focus in multiple planes, no one can.*  So you find that aiming point, then you put the front sight on it and stay on the front sight, and truly it doesn't matter if you are shooting for groups or shooting at a bad guy who's trying to hurt you or a loved one--the front sight has to be the thing you see best.  Fellow older guys: 

It really and truly doesn't matter if the target is a little fuzzy--AS LONG AS YOU'VE IDENTIFIED IT AS SOMETHING THAT MUST HAVE A BULLET IN IT--if the front sight is clear in your vision, the bullet will go where it needs to be.


* when we get to the point where none of this works, I suspect we'll give in to handgun optics and mount a dot.  As small as these already are, I figure in ten years or twenty, when you and I need handgun optics, Darryl, these will be no bigger than steel sights.  Rock on, baby boomers!
