RE: Good days start early and end late...
Sounds like my favorite kind of day! I'm envious, very busy at work right now, and will probably be June until I have a chance to get out and play at long distance.
As another old guy with glasses (bifocals now), maybe you haven't looked at the diopter adjustment on your scopes. Most all good scopes (as I know yours are!) will allow for diopter focus to adjust for your bad eyes. This may suck for others trying to use your scope (security feature?) lol. But will make it easier on you. I find it almost impossible to use my bifocals effectively with the scope, constantly trying to adjust below the bifocal line and screws my head into wrong position. I just adjust mine now for my eyes and it works just great without the glasses or just with clear protective shooting glasses lenses.
If you notice the focus on my scopecam videos on last post are out of focus, that's because I didn't set the diopter adjustment back to 0 for the camera lens. Not sure what I'll do there, maybe wear a pair of readers when I'm using the scopecam so the videos come out better.
Enjoy!

It was a good day yes. I go back to work tomorrow so that's going to suck.
I played around with the diopter adjustment and got close to a clear reticle but not quite...I think I've used the extent of its adjustment for my eyes now. I'm going to speak to my optometrist to see if there's some new glasses I can get. Part of my issue also is that I need to shoot handguns as well so need glasses for that too but also need to be able to see at distance with them on to acquire targets run and move. (My glasses are for reading only, close up.)
I'll work it out. It's not like I cant shoot, it's just getting a little more difficult to see! 🤓

Yes, my eyes need the glasses for reading as well. I can still shoot just fine for defensive needs, but target with handguns getting to be a challenge. I bought my first red dot sight - Vortex Venom, and am really liking it so far, but only a box or two through it so far. It does seem much faster to acquire target and seems to have tightened up my groups a bit over the iron sights.
I'm contemplating a red dot. Not convinced yet as it will mean a pile of money but it's the way I may have to go in the future for my handgun shooting.
