A friend and I were discussing our failing eyesight and love of shooting rifle matches and that discussion has brought up some points and questions that Id like to run by ya'll......
Is there any exemption for the over 40 disease in these matches or anyone interested in the possibility of such. Since these matches are service matches, would it not seem that we could use service optics in a different category perhaps?
Why is that when you can afford the money, time, firearms your eyesight is going....sheesh....This point was driven home recently when I scout scoped a short m1a and I could hit the target again......no more washing out of the front sight, eyes bluring at the 4th or 5th shot. A 120 rds and I could see to shoot everyone of them----I had forgot how good that felt.
My Bud brought up the point that the military is scoping and red doting there rifles......maybe the blind among us could get a little disspensation. I have to admit a definite bias, but I do believe he could have a good argument here....any opinions?
tks for the time....fubsy.
