I’m over 50 now, and need reading glasses. Regular iron sight didn’t work for me anymore. Someone told me to try a peep sight, the eye focus is different. Anyone out there who needs reading glasses and using peep sight with success?
I have 2010 in my right eye, and 2020 in my left, BUT! At 60 years old I need reading glasses real bad. Put a peep sight on the rifle and the problem goes completly away for the most part. A slightly different size aperture may be necessary for shorter length barrels as it does on my Model 94 3030 carbine, in adverse to my Model 92 rifle with a 24" barrel.
You can prove this to YOURSELF simply by using your thumb and forefinger to make a small hole to look thru, and you can read a newspaper thru it. When I am out in the field and have not brought along my reading glasses I use this method to look at very small details. It has become habit, and if I am not careful I have caught myself using it in stores to read labels. Embarrassing when you realize someone is watching trying to figure out what the hell your doing.
You can literally make a pair of glasses with black lenses and small holes for each eye and read very fine print. Try the aperture sight, and you will be pleasantly surprised.
