I posted this on another forum, but it was suggested that I bring it here.
My 10 year old Son has an eye condition called A-chromatopsia which renders him near-sighted, very sensitive to bright light and nearly color blind. This year I started him on a .22 magnum rifle equiped with a scope. He is able to shoot accurately with the scope however, without the scope he cannot hit a pop can at 10 yards. He wears glasses which filter out bright light, however, they do not assist him much with the near-sightedness. In other words, he needs a scope to be able to shoot.
Now, he sees his older brother shooting with a shotgun and wants to try, but cannot see clay targets, nor anything past 10 yards with enough clarity to be able to hit it.
I was thinking that perhaps I could find an optic which was wide angle, wide FOV, bright with long eye relief which I could mount to a shotgun. This might allow him to shoot.
Has anyone come across this type of condition before, or have any recommendations?
Much appreciated.
