For distance, my eyes are great! Up close/reading is a struggle. I have new prescription glasses, both for everyday and certified safety glasses for work with progressive lenses. They work good for day to day stuff, but I am struggling with using iron sights, even at 20 yards as I can't focus on the target and the sight picture at the same time. I am a bit frustrated with this. Hand gun is no problem, just rifle. Scope is perfect!!

Two weeks coming up of inclement weather. I don’t see an opening for shooting in the 14 day forecasters. Even the humidity is high. I have reloading out in the shed, which is open air. ahem. The humidity would make my powder damp. I have had some light clumping. This could be the reason. BothBP and some older ones. I usually wait until the % is below 50. Takes some waiting during winter. Anybody experience this?

LOL, a pair of geese are nesting on our outdoor range; the lower end is under 6" of water; I expect a few flocks of ducks behind the indoor range; it is a swamp in a dry year.

how Much evaporation can there be. Getting to the targets could be a problem. But a nice flat surface with no weed cutting. Shooting could be 1-200 yds. Walking around the swamp…………a possibility.

we are in the 50s too

Still raining, and the frost is coming out of the berm; unfortunately the berm acts like a dyke preventing natural drainage. It sucks.
