Default My vision became blurry when shooting today.

Like the title says I had a very un nerving problem today at the range. I took my 870 to the range to try out 4 different types of ammo to shoot out of my 18.5 and 28 inch barrels to see which one would be more accurate in each. I shot my 40 rounds of slugs threw my 18.5 with out a problem. Then switched out barrels to run the rest.

I was fine for the first couple of slugs. Then when I looked down the top of the barrel to look at the peep sight it was like looking in a fish tank to see the target. Everything was fishbowl or coming in and out of focus. I did run too small of a target for the 28 inch barrel as the beed sight was the same size as the target but I kept shooting. It did effect my shooting.

I then tried putting out a much larger target out when I had some left over slugs to shoot at 100 yards. It was better with the larger target but was still there. I thought it was my glasses because they are starting to de laminate on the edges around. But when I got home I put the 28 inch barrel back on the shotgun and didn't have the problem.

I didn't do anything out of the norm, I'm not on a different med, and did eat breakfast.


I was shooting 2 3/4 slugs today.

This is me running my 18.5 barrel.






Now with the 28inch barrel





then now at 100 yards with the 28inch barrel.
