Red Dot Quick Tip I Never Knew About

Flip up your rear small aperture sight and look through it at your dot for a smaller, crisper dot for precision shots. It's some sort of vision phenomenon and truly works. Try it!

I don't understand the mechanism behind it, but it's equivalent to squinting. It sharpens you vision

I have an astigmatism, so when I look at my red dot through my smaller aperture, it helps a lot.

At the eye doctor, had difficulty when they go smaller alph's. They gave me a fine mesh to look thru and the alpha's were clear. It blocks the glare.

Vision tip for when you forget your glasses: make a fist, make a tiny hole in it that you can see through, sort of like a telescope. You will be surprised how you can suddenly read fine print without glasses. Has something to do with limiting the amount of light that gets into your eye.

For those without a aperture sight on the firearm. http://bulletin.accurateshooter.com/...-aid-old-eyes/

I'll test this out on my AR today.
