Gee, maybe that's why she's wearing those crazy glasses in the picture...
It's already been explained that the glasses cannot have magnification, so what advantage do you think they offer when looking through iron sights?
And also that theyre prescription...
And 20/20 isn't "perfect" vision, it's perfectly average.
So someone can get glasses to improve their vision (especially at a certain distance) to better than 20/20 and have an advantage.
While still not having magnification.
Do you think glasses that help you see further are working via magnification?
The point is that there's nothing further to see beyond a tiny solid black dot.
You really don't see how vision is important in marksmanship?
You really don't see how improving your vision doesn't make the target look bigger to you?
I know what you said intuitively sounds like it makes sense, but I'd encourage you to try a shooting sport in person if you're really interested in the subject.
I'm one generation away from subsistence hunting...
I had "my own" shotgun before I was born...
I know about guns bruh. Having better vision is an advantage in shooting.
It's not rocket appliance
Hunting and precision shooting is different. Not to mention air powered guns are very different from gunpowder based firearms.
Look, I'm not the right person you should be arguing this with - there isn't anything else I can say to convince you, except to say that the international world of shooting has accepted that corrective glasses don't confer an unfair advantage in competition. If you're really interested, find your local gun club, see if they have any air pistol events, try it out, ask the club director about the rules.
Nobody said anything about 20/20 vision.
Improving your vision means being able to differentiate details better. Magnification means that you can make something look bigger.
Having a prescription glasses that adds detail but not magnification means that the small target will still look just as small to you as it would to a person with perfectly healthy vision. How do you think this gives them an advantage over someone with normal vision?
