Happy EyePal pistol shooter's review
Hi Charlie:
I have been using the
EyePal “peep sight” for the past few weeks with pistol shooting and am quite
pleased with the improvement in my scores since the very first time I tried it
out. I have found it quite easy to get good placement by simply sighting
without the EyePal, noting where I’m looking through the eye glass lens, and
then sticking the EyePal on that spot and it’s just about perfect. My
increased enjoyment in shooting is well worth the modest investment paid for
this simple but excellent device. Thanks again for this great shooting
aid and your continued interest in customer satisfaction.

EyePal Peep Sighting kit and Bob's as-issued M1 Garand range report
Here's a note from an M1 Garand shooter;
11/23/2013
Charlie,
Well, went out and shot this morning. Was in the
low 30's and windy, mixed clouds and sun. Got all set up to shoot off
hand and pulled the trigger and no boom! Looked and the tip of the
firing pin had broken off. So, I carry spare bolt parts and a combo tool
and changed the firing pin out. Took about ten minutes. By then was
about frozen but shot all 3 positions and was very pleased with the
sight picture. The 100 yard range we shoot at is east shooting west so
we have light coming over left shoulder and varying shadows on the
targets. This is the best I have seen the sights and target in years. I
did adjust the location on my glasses for each position.....offhand,
sitting and prone but it wasn't much more than an eighth inch change if
that. Just put my thumbnail on the edge and had a finger on the eye pal,
and nudged it in the direction I wanted it to go, the thumbnail would
hunker it up enough to break it's hold and allow me to move it. I was
afraid that there would be decreased light levels that would not allow
me to see the target but that was not the case.
Am very happy
with the results, groups tighter, especially sitting. All scores in the
black! Can't wait to get out and shoot again.
Best regards,
Bob L. Ohio

EyePal® Peep Sighting System aiming setup with an MAS 45 rifle
Here's an EyePal How-to video about getting a perfect MAS 45 sight picture where both sights and the distant target are in focus, all at the same time. So simple, yet any human can do it.

For iron-sight shooters, both firearms and air-guns, the simplest solution is the aperture as it exists in the EyePal. Apertures are used in cameras to manage Depth of Field (DoF). The smaller the aperture, the DoF produces an image where the foreground and background are in focus.
The larger the aperture, the foreground and background will be out of focus. Only the subject, say at 10 ft, will be in focus.

Get your Iron Sights in focus with EyePal® Peep Sighting System
See What You’ve Been Missing with EyePal® Peep Sighting System
by
Charles L. Summers
Let’s do a quick experiment. Roll up your index finger and make a hole, a small hole, and then hold your hand up to your eye. What you will see in that hole or aperture is that everything is in focus. Keeping that relationship, place your other hand with the thumb up at an arm’s length away from you. In this instance, there is a near object (your thumb) and the objects in the distance. Everything is in focus!
The thumb mimics a pistol’s sights and the distant objects are in focus at any distance. Bringing the thumb closer to your rolled up hand aperture will show that it is still in focus even at the closer distance. The rolled-up index finger and hand eliminated most of the light except for the light from the small aperture. The occluder does this for the peep sight. The result of using a peep sight with an occluder is that everything is in focus, dependent only on the diameter of the aperture
Now we’re onto something interesting. A simple aperture can produce Depth of Field (DoF). There remains another challenge: how is this optical science applied to iron-sight air guns? Many rear sights are comprised of a leaf sight or an aperture sight, some located just inches away from the eye.
Let’s focus on the aperture sight. This “peep” sight is almost always out of focus and is commonly referred to as ghosted. The eye can deal with this situation effectively by placing the front sight in the center of this ghosted aperture. The front sight can be either in focus or out of focus, depending on your visual acuity. This applies to the target as well.
We are taught to concentrate on the front sight centering on the target. The eye wants to gaze at the target and then back to the front sight and back to the target again. The eye can do this naturally or with the aid of prescription lenses. The natural, uncorrected eye will eventually get tired of doing this. The corrected eye will have to make use of the prescription to accomplish the task, slightly moving the head to get things “in focus”.
In order for a peep sight to function properly, it needs what is called an occluder, the large opaque disk that surrounds the aperture. The eye sees the entire occluder and the peripheral field of view as well as the image of the aperture complete with Depth of Field.
EyePal® uses the pinhole camera principle to create Depth of Field, allowing its user to see the front sight, back sight and target clearly at any distance while allowing peripheral vision.
Clearly, EyePal will provide the Archer and Iron-sight shooter with any vision prescription, a sight picture with a limited field of view and depth of field at any distance. As a bonus, EyePal will not restrict peripheral vision in any way.
