Same. If you wear eyeglasses, confer with your doc to ensure the prescription isn't having an effect on a cross hair. Mine gave me a trial scrip to try to make my dominant eye more dominant for wingshooting. It made horizontal cross hairs blur slightly.

I am 70 with Glaucoma.
My left eye makes a $2k scope look like a $200 scope.
My fight eye makes a $2k scope look like a $20 scope.
I shoot with my right eye.
I buy ~~~ 5 scopes a year.
The fatest reticle I have is
Leupold 3-9x40 VX-Freedom Muzzleloader Scope 174184 $299.99 swfa

From the cross hairs to the second dot is 8 moa.
My limit is 8moa drop with a 200 yard zero.
That may be 300 yards with a 30-30 and 550 yards with a 7mmRM.
I use Quickload / Quicktarget to figure out the drop.

i like this reticle. i, too, am 70, but no glaucoma. i can still get a crisp, clear reticle with standard adjustment of ocular.

I’ve got a couple of German #1s, and outside if Trijicon’s lit triangle, they’re the best when low light AND speed are top priorities……4A, Heavy Duplex, and Illuminated are for when I need more placement definition, further out, in all light. Out to as far as I ever get to shoot game around here (<500), Heavy crosshairs have never been any sort of hindrance at all, and fine crosshairs and thin duplexes have cost me more than once in the bottoms in low light.

I have not seen this crosshair before. Looks great for older eyes, dawn and dusk shooting. Thanks for sharing. I will buy one

I am pushing 70 years old and I agree 100% with this statement.
