[QUOTE="Richard Owl Mirror, post: 993365, member: 67793"] Thanks Dosh, I have looked in to obtaining eye glasses but, Medicare & Medicaid won't pay for them so, the whole process of an Optometrist & the cost of eye glasses will cost about the same. I use drug store cheater glasses for reading but, looking through Binoculars & a rifle scope are a different story. Thanks for the suggestion though ! I'm 56 years old & just began an interest in shooting & hunting since moving to Montana 3 years ago. I'm disabled & don't have anyone to assist me so, I may just be wasting my time & money. I don't even eat much meat. My purpose to learn to hunt began with the plan of donating the meat to Hunters for the Hungry program for families who need food. Not having anyone to teach me best practices of shooting & hunting beyond reading & youtube video's, I think I've made good progress. I'm just concerned on taking a shot and not getting a quick kill shot. I'm not in good physical condition to go tracking a wounded animal for a mile ! I wish I could find somebody to accompany me on this hunt in the Pryor mountains. [url=http://www.pryormustangs.org/]Pryor Mountain Wild Mustang Center, Lovell Wyoming[/url] Right now, my plan is to locate a place near the road & sit overlooking an area. I did purchase this book: [url=http://www.deer-huntingtips.com/DeerHuntingSecrets/hs2/?awt_l=A6pU.&awt_m=LhbtLCQdbnZLNa]Deer Hunting Secrets[/url] I'm still studying it and taking rides out to the area to try spotting a good area for me to set up in. I have a Caldwell rifle holder which pivots while holding the rifle full-time so I don't need to support the rifle much. With the scope I have, I'm able to place my shots within a 1/2 dollar size range around the bull's-eye at 100 yards. I would like to have a scope which allows me to take a confident shot out to 300 yards, just in case that's what I'm presented with. This area is only allowed 200 permits and last year there was a 100% success rate. The majority were Trophy worthy so, I'm excited about the opportunity. I just don't want to screw it up with equipment not up to the task. (including my eyes) Anyways, thanks again for answering my question. Richard [/QUOTE]
