I'm a new member but I have been lurking for many years as I am a coin collector. But my question is; I had laser surgury on one eye to see far but the eye I use to fire a weapon is the one that is blind. Any sugggestions?

Can you use your better eye? :15_1_70v:

learn to shoot with the other hand.

Are you right handed or left handed? Which is your dominant eye (right or left)?

Think about getting a laser sight... I have a couple of these to use when I am not wearing my contact (yes only one!) that mounts directly of the rail on a Glock or others with a tactical rail. Unless you are old school with a revolver this is a good solution.

They are a bit difficult to adjust, but once you have it setup to co-witness your iron sights you're good to go.

Shotgun .. you don't have to be real accurate .. just he general vicinity

Use a scope, it will correct the vision for you

Moral of the story from the article:

1. At close range, reduced recoil loads seem to shoot a tighter pattern. But the difference is small, i.e., 1 3/4 to 4 inches. As always, you have to aim a shotgun at close range. The patterns are tight.

2. At moderate ranges (20 yards), the loads had an average spread of around 9 to 17 inches. This is getting big enough that, unless carefully aimed, many pellets will miss a bad guy.

3. At long ranges, even 45 yards, you will miss with more pellets that you will hit with. The question might be, "Why would you shoot at someone at 45 yards?" Well, if he is at 45 yards and shooting at me, I will return fire. If a shotgun is all I have, I will use that. But understand that you will have a lot of missed pellets.

4. Reduced recoil loads are easier on the shoulder to shoot. But, you don't get something for nothing. That also means that they will not have the total energy that a heavier load will have. You have to make a choice and go with it.

Most will consider this a reputable source of information. Yet another "urban myth" dispelled.
