For the vision challenged...do you wear glasses when shooting a scoped rifle?

[Smart]

Before my cataract surgeries with vision enhancement, I used to shoot glasses with a bow and rifle. Did it for 16 years. Didn't want to be blind when I looked up.

Heck Bobby, get you some "store-bought eyes" (AKA cataract surgery)!! Best thing I ever did to make my life better all 'round! I'm back to 20/15 in both eyes!!

it depends .. if you wear glasses all the time like to see far then most likely yes ... if you're getting old like me and only need readers then no .. i'd rather correct the blurry reticle with the scope .otherwise with my glasses on , i can't see squat past 20 yards ... funny enough , i bought some +.50 to shoot pistols .. makes the sights sharper while i can still see far as well ... sucks getting old indeed!

Good info, all. Thank you.

It sucks getting old.

I wear glasses. The only time I ever really seem to notice is if I have to shoot in a position where I see the frame of my glasses. Other than that I don't even think about it. It doesn't hinder me from shooting. If I took them off while hunting I wouldn't know when it was time to shoot because I couldn't see the animal I'm supposed to be shooting at. So I just leave them on all of the time.

Talk to your optometrist about parallax. My aunt switched glasses and was missing animals and ready to stop hunting until she found a shooter optometrist that knew what she needed.

More often than not i shoot with them on. It seems like I have to adjust the objective every year. It could just be in my head but I think i shoot a scoped rifle better with them on.

After losing a pair of expensive glasses in the field after removing them to shoot, yes.

Pistol and bow shooting tri-focals on, scoped rifle glasses off.

I wear progressives all the time while shooting rifle. I will take of the glasses for a long glassing session.

Yes, I wear glasses all the time. If I don’t I see double images. Makes for interesting driving !

[Strummer]

I have to take mine off to shoot my rifle or bow . I can shoot my pistols with them on .

[tazhunter0]

Take my glasses off. Can’t seem to get lined up with the scope when I have them on.

[IowaHunter]

I do both. Wiith glasses I need to fidget a little more to get the focus. If I take off my glasses the view is better quicker. It’s a trade off for where I place my glasses during the shot.

I wear no line trifocals and have diabetes. It's very difficult to get consistent clear focus consistently for me. Lol just put the center of the cross hair on the target! Good thing for me, I can use a 50.00 Simmons and can't see a difference in it or a 1000.00 glass😁
