Beating Old Man Time, Field Shooting

[squirrel]

First when did you notice a depreciation in your shooting skills?,

secondly did you attempt to reverse it?

thirdly were you succesful at all and what worked for you?

My pistol skills suck due to blurry sights, hit me at mid 40's... red dot scope and holy crap I was 20 again! But I hate using it.

A few years ago I found myself muttering to myself that I "SHOULD HAVE MADE THAT SHOT"... and since have been doing it more often.

Following this. I’m in my late 40s and just started noticing vision changes within the past year or two. Not to the point yet that it’s affecting my shooting, but my vision is rapidly declining and will likely be an issue soon.

I'm 65 and had good vision until 50 - after that, I had a real tough time with open sights. I really liked shooting open sights so that has been disappointing. On the bright side, I'm pleased to say that with scoped rifles, I think I shoot as well as ever although I think I practice more now than when I was a young buck.

I enjoy shooting pistols and in my mid 50's pistol sights started getting blurry and haven't yet gone to a pistol red dot...thinking about about that and will probably try it out on one pistol to see (pun definitely intended)

I did start using illuminated scopes, and i absolutely love the tiny red dot in the 2x6x24 Credo HX on my SFAR.

I've always preferred scopes on rifles especially at distance or in low light.
