Pinhole focus glasses for precision
May 15th, 2021 at 7:42am
 
I made myself some simple stenopeic glasses. Two leather flaps with a little hole perforated for the eye sight. It gives a form of very narrow but well focused tunnel vision. I wonder if it would be good for accuracy? To focus on the target without distractions.

Train blindly to hit your target.  At the end of the video you can see how I do it.  30 minutes feels like running a marathon.  But it improves your performance a lot.

Whats the idea behind this J? I mean in what way does it help? By precision do you mean accuracy?

Pinhole glasses reduce your field of view and help things in view to be in focus... it seems like it’ll only help if your main problem is seeing the target because it’s blurry or if you’re distracted by things in your peripheral vision.

I've never seen an Olympic target shooter wear pinhole glasses. I feel there might be a reason for that...

Consider me corrected Cheesy Saying that, would this really work with slinging?

I don't know. We move around a lot. Seems better for static. It might be useful for long distance because then I can still see the target through the holes when I do the cast. But maybe it also interferes with instinctual disance calculation and full vision is better.

Can you imagine the size of the pin that made that pinhole?  Wink

A slinger also move laterally. I see where you are going with the pinhole idea but since your are moving it might be better to use something like this since it would allow you to see a longer range of motion but still restrict it to tunnel vision.

These glasses are not suitable for slinging.  And they don't just aim with their eyes while slinging

Those glasses must be to protect against razor glandes.

To truly test it, you must be dressed like a bear.
