For background I am 45 y/o, very near sighted, and corrected with contact lenses to almost 20/20. I just mounted a Leupold 4.5-14X50 mildot and adjusted the ocular looking at the sky per the manual.
My problem is that the retical blurs out on me at 14X to the point I can't see the intersection on the target. The longer I stare, the worse it gets. I am better shooting both eyes open (like I shoot handgun)but then I get double vision.
This is not as much a problem at 10X but the type of target makes a difference. With the red diamonds on the 100yd precision target I'm shooting almost .90. With a small orange dot target, .60 ( all 5 shot groups @ 100yd)
I know my rifle will shoot better because a friend has shot it .30. I found that I need to shoot fast to do well. IE: look, align, squeeze. As soon as I look for more than a second, I lose focus. What am I doing wrong??????
