young at heart, but eyes are slipping.....

It started off slowly, just needing reading glasses when the lights were dim.  Now I'm struggling to see my bowsites and to top it off I can't adjust my rifle scope so the crosshairs and subject are both in focus.  If I put my reading glasses on they are both in focus.  The red dot site on my .22 seems to be OK for now.  ( do they make red dot sites for centerfire rifles?)  What do you other older
guys do to make up for this problem?  I think I'm going to take my reading glasses hunting with me.....

Try to refocus the scope. If you do, check the zero afterwards. I like a heavier reticle for hunting big game.

Try a different scope, I've noticed that scopes that worked well for me a few years ago, don't now, and it seems to be getting more so with several scopes I have. There was a discussion about this very topic on another forum, not all scopes are equally good about this for old eyes, in fact, I have a like new MuellerTacII that the original owner had the same problem, but it works fine for me, great scope btw, the equal to a Leupold VX-III in my comparisons.
