Gary:
Been going to Big Shots to shoot a half hour a day, a few days this week.  Going again today.

My goal is to get this group a little tighter, and keep them all in the blue.

15 meters, shooting a Taurus model 922, 9 shot .22 revolver, 8 & 1/2" barrel, range ammo, at $3 a box of fifty.  Not a bad price these days.  Half hour on their ammo is less than $20.  Cheap entertainment.

Having a good time shooting again.

One of those 1" diameter blaze orange target dots over that   X   will pull your group in quite a bit.

Gives you something specific for aimpoint, instead of the whole blue area.

Gary:
Thank You!

My eyesight is an issue.  When I go straight vision, the target is clear, and the sights are fuzzy, and when I shoot with mild reading glasses, the sights are clear and the target is fuzzy.

I do best with sharp sights and fuzzy target.

I think your idea will help!

We're pretty much in the same boat, eyesight-wise.

FWIW, Dr. Bill Schlichtimeier [a former Olympic pistol shooter and Omaha area opthmalogist] prescribed a set of shooting glasses for me where the smaller farsighted ground-in lens is at the top of the main lens instead of the bottom.   Bifocals-upside-down, actually.

So I use the sharp sights to shoot into the Middle of the Fuzzy.

Works pretty well for target shooting.

Nice shooting!

I can't remember the guy's name (may be the same Doctor SFG is referring to) but the Optometrist who works out of Len's Crafters at Oak View mall is a shooter and will understand what you're saying when you mention fuzzy sights/clear target and vica-versa.

But yeah, I agree with you, if faced with a choice, I prefer clear sights, fuzzy target  :-\
