Who has tried this

[Mel Carter]

I use to hate looking through a spotting scope, even for a short amount of time. I use to get a major eye strain, whick i'm sure most of us do. I can't remember if someone told me this, or if I seen it on a hunting show, but they suggested getting a black eye patch to wear over the eye instead of closing it. Man, you talk about a difference, no more strain and you can look for hours at a time. Anyone else ever try this, if not, giver a whirl, you'll like it.

that sounds like a great idea. I will have to go get my pirate patch out next time i'm out.

That trick also works to keep your night vision. Whem going from the dark into the light to get a cup of coffee or something, close one eye or cover it with a patch. When you return to the dark, remove it and you will still have your night vision.
