Just a basic question, I wear powered glasses and was wondering if there is any way to improve iron sights.
Thanks

In terms of glasses? If you're having trouble focusing on the front site you can get your optician to spec out lenses that are tailored to focusing at that certain distance (to the front site).

I can focus, but are there any guidelines that would get me jump started.

The problem is not with my eyes or focusing. I was looking more for some sort of training stuff.

I think we need a better understanding of your problem to give a better answer.

Ok , I wanna practice shooting with iron sights out to 200-500 yards. But since I wear glasses not sure if I would be able to do it or not. And the "HOW" questions is always there since I really dont know how to adjust the iron sights.

Re: Improving iron sight
You must be able to focus on the front sight. Position the dominant eye to where the tip of the front sight appears to be centered in the rear sight aperture. Maintain alignment with the full weight of your head resting upon the stock. Following these instructions you will essentially be properly pointing the rifle with consistent sight alignment. Make alignment perfect since misalignment will create angular error which increases with distance. Making alignment perfect is easy since the eye naturally wants to center and balance things. Also, remember after adjusting your NPA to get the desired sight picture be sure to bring focus back to the front sight. With focus on the target you will loose recognition for exactly where the rifle is pointed. Regarding your glasses, you may find that with a small peep sight you will not need your glasses. The small aperture may allow for a sharp front sight, as well as a defined target, which is important if you are shooting with a hold other than center of mass.
