What’s in your sight picture?
9/19/2014
You might be saying "ouch" at first glance
but then you might think again, "what's this all about"? There is no
perfect sight picture in reality but most will say I have perfect vision when
it comes to sighting an iron-sight rifle, handgun or bow. It's a case of coping
with what vision is available to you either naturally or by prescription.
But consider the venerable peep-sight. It's
generally mounted on the rifle’s receiver or its tang. For the archers, it is
mounted in the bow-string. But only one, the rifle peep, produces Depth of
Field and a sight picture with unprecedented visual acuity unobtainable with
the natural eye, even with a prescription. Consider moving the peep to the
eyewear’s lens and now you have what I have come to call an
"eye-sight", in as much as the peep is now mounted on the glasses.
The peep is now very small, about 50 thousands of an inch in diameter. But size
matters in this instance where the larger the diameter of the peep, close
objects start to get fuzzy while distant objects stay in focus. This would be
important for handguns and bows as the sights for these are at an arm’s length
away from the eye. Distant objects are always clear in both cases where the
diameters are suitable for rifles or handguns and bows.
EyePal® sorts out the visual acuity problem straight
away. With the application of a small peep (also known as an aperture or
pinhole) on any glasses, the resulting image when viewed through the “hole” is
remarkably clear. The reverse is also true with the use of plain safety
glasses. If numbers make more sense, the smaller peep produces 20/10 and the
larger peep gives 20/15 and both produce Depth of Field, just like the Pinhole
Camera. See www.EyePalUSA.com for more answers.
