My eyes are 70 years old and certainly not what they used to be. I now wear variable-focus lenses that seem to vary huge amounts for every couple of mm's I move my eyes. Ridiculous!!

The problem I'm having now is I can't seem to find a single point of eye placement when looking through my scope that gives me a clear picture. And if I move my head slightly, the image goes from clearer to fuzzy and back...

I just tried using my teeny reading glasses and things were a lot better.

Is there anyone who worries about special glasses just for shooting??? Do I have to wear my usual glasses when hunting and then frantically change when a shooting situation comes up??

I believe Beth Truman said, "Getting old isn't for sissies"... She was right!
