Went to test out the new lens in my eye today.
@SimonRL joined in.
Maybe a bit soon, but I wore good glasses to protect myself. Couldn't stand not shooting any longer.
First time to wear shooting glasses in ages since I wore glasses to see every day before this.
Took X5 Max Legion and SA Operator .45
I am right handed left eye dominant.
Have shot with left eye for 25 yrs.
Well, extended the pistol to shooting stance and the new corrected trifocal lens felt better than uncorrected left eye.
Tried shooting with right eye……First couple mags went pretty well.
6” target @10 yards
Felt better than I thought. Played around using left eye then right eye . Red dot had a halo from surgery still on unsettled lens, but wasnt too bad.
Open sight .45’s was a bit of a problem. Sights just disappeared fuzzy.
.
Worked thru it but not great
Went back to Sig X5 for right eye work
5 yards 3” target on orange
Felt great
1) Went to 7 yards rapid fire drill alternating each round between center and left orange 3” circles.. using right eye still.
went well. Few shots low
2)Then shot at 3” splatter target right side@7yrds
Rapid fire. … much better
guess black works better for me than orange.
3) then went after 1” orange bullseye upper right and hit 4-5 low, but a few in bull @10yrds. Not bad
Then put a 6” splatter at 25 yards to test distance and right eye.
First 2 rounds in same hole almost bullseye
and 3rd round way up high stratosphere .. WTF 
@SimonRL was shooting his new Prodigy and Ronin
First 3 rounds in same hole at 10 yards with it. 3” splatter target.
Second pic is rest of that mag.
My eye was wore out at that point, and time to call it for a beer. More .45 work will have to wait
