I currently am using a 0.25 pair of reading glasses to shoot open sights. That is not a misprint. Normal readers are 2.0, 2.5, 3.0, etc, but I use really weak ones. You have to special order those.

I tried both the 0.25 and 0.5 power. The weaker ones bring the front sight in sharp and still allow me to see the target well.



The rear sight will be blurry no matter what you do. Use a peep and center it. Works for me.
