Doc Altman SASS#74468 Posted October 24, 2021 Share Posted October 24, 2021 I'm looking to increase the visibility of the front sight on my Vaqueros. I'm familiar with "Sure Hit" brass wraps for the front sight, but I'd like to look at other options before ordering a set. I remember reading that someone was making a similar item but I can't seem to locate that maker. Any advice, information, or guidance would be appreciated. I'm certain this topic has been covered numerous times, but my searches here have been fruitless. Thanks! --Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G W Wade Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Merchants Forum shows OnTarget front sight covers. I gave up years ago and had my eye doctor make special single focus glasses for me. Tried 1 contact for awhile and loved it but contacts and I didnt get along GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeaconKC Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 I went to trifocals last year and they work great. Have your doctor set you up for the front sight distance on the third focal area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Altman SASS#74468 Posted October 25, 2021 Author Share Posted October 25, 2021 OnTarget Sights was what I was searching for. I've tried safety glasses with cheaters at the top, which work fairly well when I can force myself to put my chin down. Gold sharpie worked a little, but I really need a larger sight. Ultimately, I think I'll have to go to prescription lenses/trifocals, like Deacon suggested. Thanks for all of the help! --Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G W Wade Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 My eye doctor just set me to 34-35 inchs. Basicaly the distance from from my eye to front sight. Deacon said go to the 3rd focal but I have had others say 2nd What ever works. "Makes for a more harmonious outcome" GW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Makes for a more harmonious outcome" GW Just to be clear, my lenses have the distance [largest field] on top, the reading portion at the bottom and the band for "sight picture" in the middle. It also works great while driving for reading the dashboard clearly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jefro, SASS#69420 Posted October 25, 2021 Share Posted October 25, 2021 Another popular method is to have shooting lens for front sight, other lens for me was normal script with bifocal. Eye doc knew just what I wanted. Now I can read stages and still see without having to swap glasses. Good Luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tarheel Doc Posted October 26, 2021 Share Posted October 26, 2021 I would recommend the heartless gamer sites. We the people munitions (Deuce Stevens) sells them. Larger than the sure hit sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
