barrels from scratch

[AGE]

Unspellable,

I ordered mine from an optometrist named something like Lehman (I'm unsure of the spelling now) somewhere in Texas about 10 years ago. He was written up in one of the shooting magazines at that time (American Rifleman or Guns and Ammo). They worked well, but eventually I had to update my perscription (I did this locally). The new lenses work just as well (for me anyway) so I guess I would see what is available locally if I were you. Try for some sport glasses.

I normally wear bifocals but I hate them for shooting.

I would recommend that you take the upper half of your favorite gun in to your optometrist and make sure your prescription is good when holding it at arms length and focusing on the front sight.

I am nearsighted (I don't know if that makes a difference) and with my progressive lenses I can get the gun sights and target bullseye in good focus at the same time.

If you want to try to find Dr. Lehman, I'll sort through my old stuff to try to find more info.
