[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4119043, member: 5412"] I shot USPSA with pistol, and finally PCC for around 10 years or so, with the Age Related Macular degeneration coming on in the left eye which is the non-dominate eye. Vision in the right eye is 20/10 and has been for many years. The bottom line of the eye chart at the Optometrist is crystal clear to me. Left eye used to be that sharp but no more. The last year or so of competition, had some issues with acquiring the next target as I'd always used both eyes open when shooting, so the side vision suffered when needing to shoot right to left. The AMD was kicking in. Transitioning from irons to red dot or green dot takes a ton of practice. When pulling a pistol with a dot on it to shoot for the first time, it feels like you're having to roll the pistol down to acquire the dot and is not natural to an iron sight shooter. Dry fire and practice fixes that pretty quick. I'm pretty much red dot on almost everything now short range to include .22 rifles. [/QUOTE]
