Try focusing on the target instead of the sights.

To learn how to do this simply acquire your normal sight picture, focusing hard on the front sight. When you're satisfied with your sight picture shift your focus past the front sight to the aim point on the target. You *should* be able to still see the alignment of your front and rear sights (often called a "soft focus"). Shift your focus back to the front sight and then back to your aim point several times. This exercise develops your ability to shoot accurately using a target focus. Shift your focus one final time from front sight to aim point, then press the trigger. Your bullet *should* hit the aim point - right where you were looking.

Target focused shooting allows you to shoot accurately without the need for fancy gizmos (specialized bi-focals, detachable apetures, Lasik, etc.).

I wear bifocals. The technique works very well for me. Give it a try.

Good luck!
