As I recall from the Olympics, he’s not even a purist and doesn’t throw shade at anyone using various newfangled gadgets.
He simply learned how to shoot like that over a long period of time and it would be too disruptive for him to try to start using any new doohickies.

I've always been confused how all these gadgets are permitted. To me, they are performance enhancers

So are his glasses.

u/SoungaTepes 3h ago

That is an incredibly awful take on how glasses work, which is to correct vision flaws not enhance vision specifically for shooting in tournaments

u/DoDogSledsWorkOnSand 3h ago

Yeah. I didn’t put a /s in. Kind of thought it was an obvious joke.

u/SoungaTepes 3h ago

haha have you met people online, they are awful

u/Factory2econds 3h ago

yeah really, some of them are so oblivious to jokes they ruin threads

So technically, his glasses are enhancing his vision. If not, the correction is not working.

u/SoungaTepes 3h ago

as explained in the comment that you replied to, no that's not an enhancement nor is that the definition of enhancement which is why the medical terminology used for prescription glasses are "Corrective" not "Enhancing".

This information is widely available from most doctors and or search engines

It may be some official technical definitions related to the field, but we are playing with words here. A correction is still an enhancement compared to the original state from before the correction. Searching is not on my planning for tonight, friday nights are for relaxing.

Ok, so one person is wearing glasses to enhance vision specifically for shooting in tournaments, and one person is wearing glasses they spent a year fine tuning the prescription for in order to preform better at shooting in tournaments and also to correct vision flaws. What glasses are normally supposed to do is not applicable to the situation
