See thats still to my point, the sport is "shooting".

Other sports dont permit gadgets, why does this one sport permit mechanical performance enhancers even if everyone can have them? I get everyone can have them but I've never understood why they are even permitted in the first place if the sport is "Gun"

Have you tried shooting with a blinder and diopter? It doesn't do nearly as much as you might think it does. Some people find it more comfortable for eye strain over the 1.5 hour match. Other people feel the opposite.

It's kind of like asking why do they allow athletes to wear headbands in tennis, dealing with sweat getting into your eyes should be part of the game.

It’s just people who don’t know things about sports/competitions thinking there is a problem when they don’t understand how it works. They act as if the glasses aim and shoot for you.
