That's exactly the way to do it, but it seems to get harder with each passing year.

Bifocals can make it interesting....

Yep, about 30 years ago when my friend and I both got a Gamo Expotec....his had the plastic stock with pistol grip.....we shot in his basement almost twice a week for over a year or so. Fun times. I remember looking at the target(s)...most of the time we used little plastic figurines (G.I Joe soldiers) and plastic model airplanes that he had built.......and back to the sights, back and forth and squeezing the trigger.....no problem. Now it takes ALOT longer....the old eyesjust cannot get a clear viewfast enough while alternating between target and sights.

I wear no-line bifocals so I'm constantly adjusting them for best sight picture. Dang!  It's tough getting OLD! LOL!

Yep,it's hard to get good sight picture anymore. In my 30's I shot competitive pistol and rifle, but alas, now in my 60's the eyes just aren't what they used to be.   However, proper technique is still to focus on FIRST SIGHT and let rear sights and target blur some. Focus on the first sight and you'll shoot better.

I had lasiks a few years ago and can now see the left one of a knat at 20yrds. However, if it is closer than 15 inches I need reading glasses to see print. I am constantly closing and opening my eyes trying to get a sight picture. You are correct. It's sucks getting old.

I was tryiing to avoid doing any of this last minute - failed despite getting a jump on a few early in the week.
