I am looking for some help to understand why, and how to fix, an issue I'm experiencing. Background: I'm a 69 Year Old teenager, with all the physical wear and tear that comes with this stage in life. I have decided to take up Rimfire PRS (you know, ammos so much cheaper) and have put together a good rifle/scope setup. The scope is a FFP design.
Problem: When I got my new scope, I tried to read everything I could find so I would get things right. So I go to the range and adjust the ocular lens to get the reticle in focus. Close my eyes, pop them open, and see the reticle in focus, good to go. The reticle, against a nice blue sky, is crisp and looks great. Aim at a target and the damn thing is hard to find. I suspect it has to do with my focus is at a different distance, but don't know how to sort it out.
