Hey Tim...
 
Did I read right? You can put a pattern in a pie plate at 50 feet with a
pistol??

Only when his 20/15 vision is improved with his shooting glasses and
he's shooting with a gun rest.

Pie plate, pistol, fifty feet... I don't care what he has to help,
that's impressive.

Not really. Have you seen the 25 yard military pistol target?
The Chief who taught me to shoot could keep them in the black (5
1/2"), rapid fire with a hardball .45. Most were in the 10 ring.
He claimed he was still not good enough to shoot on the USCG team.

When he got done with me I could keep most of mine in the black, slow
fire ... but I was 18 with 20/20 eyes ;-)

I do very little distance shooting these days unless I use a rifle.


I just don't think the average Joe at the range shoots like that...
could be wrong.

Not always but it's happened frequently. That's what can happen when you get used to your weapon. And it doesn't have to be some $2000.00 custom either.

uh... I have 20-10 vision... And my eye doc can't believe it seeing I'm 58 yr's old.

I was amazed that my eyesight hasn't gone south due to age. I'll be 65
this year. When I had the bout with shingles last year my left eye was
affected but my vision was 20/15 in it and 20/20 in my right eye. 20/15
is actually better vision than 20/20. Tim's 20/10 is even better still.

I haven't had them checked since I recovered from the shingles thing, so
my left eye may have changed.

Even though the eye tests are good, I still occasionally need reading
glasses for up close stuff, but it's more dependent on how tired I am.

Terrible. Keep it closed. :-)

My wife gets ****ed at me because her eyes are like 20/100 or something.
Can't pass the driver's license exam without her glasses.
