With my glasses, I can see a mile away and read up close, but the intermediate range is tough. When shooting handguns, if I focus on the target, the sights are a LITTLE blurry, whereas if I focus on the sights, the target is VERY blurry. I have found that I shoot much tighter groups if I focus on the sights and aim at the center of the blurry target. Would tri-focals solve the problem or should I just keep shooting at blurry targets?
