On-call alerts interfered with my plans to make it to the range on Sunday or Monday, but I snuck out of the house on Tuesday with four pistols and 317 rounds of ammo, and gave my new split-prescription safety glasses a quick test.

That is:

Bifocals (1):
    OD SPH -100 CYL -050 AXIS 90
    OS SPH -125 CYL -075 AXIS 60
    NV-ADD +225

Computer (2):
    OD SPH +025 CYL -050 AXIS 90
    OS SPH  000 CYL -075 AXIS 60

Shooting (left eye dominant):
    OD SPH -100 CYL -050 AXIS 90 (1)
    OS SPH  000 CYL -075 AXIS 60 (2)

I picked a variety of sights, including basic black, and all of them were in crisp focus against the fuzzy black target 20 yards away. I hardly noticed the switch between eyes when focusing at different distances, and my grouping was much better than last trip.

Next trip, I’ll take the ones where I’ve barely been able to locate the front sights for years; it sucks getting older.

(317 rounds may sound oddly precise, but I’d pre-loaded a bunch of magazines at home: 5x 10-round .22LR, 4x 17-round 9mm, 2x 11-round 9mm, 5x 15-round 9mm, 2x 15-round .45ACP, 4x 18-round .45ACP)
