harpoonlouis Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Haven't used a tele sight in years and since themn I have got glasses to correct for long sight and reading glasses too I can't get the sight picture clear wearing either. How do folks with glasses set up thier optics? Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ste12b Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I tend to lift my glasses, especially if shooting with lamp. I believe you could alter the position but it would be trial and error. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FalconFN Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 I wear glasses and don't have a problem. You should be OK with the glasses you use for long-sight as your eye should be relaxed. I don't know what scope you have but most have adjustments at the the rear element and you can focus the front element by unscrewing the very front part of the body and turning the screw-threaded part of the objective lens. It would help to know if the reticle or the image in focus, or if they are both blurred? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Think I will get my younger daugther to look though it as she is the only one in the house with perfect sight!

dadioles Posted June 7, 2011 Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 (edited) I lift (or remove) my glasses and adjust the rear objective to bring the cross hairs into perfect focus (almost to the end stop! ). All of my scopes have parallax adjustment (either end focus or side focus - side focus is better) and I then use that to focus on the target. My guess is that your scope does not have the ability to focus on the target but is fixed focus. Possible pre-set for 100 yards. If that is the case, you may find it worth trying a scope with parallax adjustment. Personally I think that is essential.

harpoonlouis Posted June 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 7, 2011 Struggling to get either picture clear so I am suspecting this scope is faulty Thanks for your ideas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
