Method for overcoming optical deficiencies of shooters
First Claim
1. A method of improving accuracy when shooting a weapon such as an arrow, a pistol, a rifle, a shotgun or the like while wearing glasses, comprising the steps of:
- sighting with the optical axis of one eye directed along the weapon as would be done when aiming at a target,applying an alignment disk comprised of an opaque material and approximating the size of the pupil of the other eye to one side of the lens of said glasses that is in front of said other eye and aligning said disk over said pupil on the optical axis of said other eye while continuing said sighting,adhering a blanking disk composed of translucent material on a side of said lens opposite of the side to which said alignment disk is applied and coincident with said alignment disk, andremoving said alignment disk before shooting.

Abstract
A thin flexible disk of opaque material and at least one flexible disk comprised of a translucent plastic material is provided in a kit. A shooter aims a weapon such as a rifle in the normal fashion with the optical axis of one eye aligned with the rear and front sights on the rifle. While the rifle is being aimed, the other eye, that is, the eye which is not consciously doing any aiming, has the opaque disk applied to the lens of the shooter'"'"'s glasses. The opaque disk is then moved around until it is aligned with the pupil and on the optical axis of said other eye. A translucent disk is then applied coincidentally with the opaque disk after which the tentatively adhered opaque disk is removed. The shooter then proceeds to shoot with the center of vision of said other eye blanked out but with diffuse light coming through the translucent disk so the brain governs the other eye as if the eye were operating under ordinary conditions in which case depth perception, peripheral vision and binocular vision are preserved as is normally the case when an object is sighted with two unoccluded eyes.
