I shot a round today at the local club. 30 targets, average distance was 25-30 yards and a lot of the targets were pretty trashy. In fact I found myself a little irritated towards the end of the course because there were several shots that weren't set up for a stickbow and the trajectory we have. Some were just flat out blocked like the last target, a wolf at about 40 and all that was visible was the head.
Anyways, right before I left I switched out my contacts which are a new prescription. I didn't realize it at the time but something didn't match the trials I got. I found myself constantly having a focus issue with my right eye. The best description is that the left and right were slightly out of focus relative to each other. I had to close the left eye for a few seconds so the target wasn't blurred. I didn't think a lot of it at the time.
After shooting I had a lot of 8's that were vertically off the mark, mostly low. The frustrating thing is I'm solid at distance judging inside 35 yards and many of the shots I felt I had dead nuts. I know my holds and executed well only to be off. I started pacing off the shots afterwards and in almost every case I was about 3 yards short. It dawned on me that with my out of focus vision my depth perception was all messed up. I guess I never realized how much difference it had on my shooting. Needless to say I pulled those lenses out and I'll be calling the doc on Monday morning.
So, if you find yourself having some issues that seem odd it may be time to head to the eye doctor.
