i have an unfortunate habit of showing up for Boomershoot with guns that haven’t been sighted in, but this last two years my shooting’s been much worse, even after Lasik. Turns out I had a mild astigmatism remaining after the procedure, but the improvement (from a 7.6 to a zero, effectively) was so good in all other aspects I’d just tried to power through — not good for consistent focus on a reticle at all. So even after sighting in, I couldn’t hit crap. Doc says my eye muscles show fatigue from relentless unconscious focusing throughout the day.
So now I have new contacts — a measly 1.25 correction — and I can see everything effortlessly. Makes a huge difference. Being able to read insanely small print is fun, too. Focusing on a reticle should actually work, now.
