Just curious if others have followed this trend. As I am Bumping 50 my close vision is starting to go. I've shot iron sight rifles for years well, at least in my opinion. I find myself moving to scoped rifles the last few years, with the diopter and magnification trumping vision issues. You middle age guys do the same or go a different route. I can still shoot sights like the M1, No IV LE, and O3A3 well, it is the rear V notch on the No 1 LE and 1903 that has become difficult. I can see the front sight but not the rear sight as it is blurry. The rear sight is just the right distance from my eyes that I can not focus on it. i can put the fish eye type device (not right name) on my glasses and it helps, but that will fade in a few more years. Getting old sucks.
