I almost wrote that lol. Co witnessing was how I found out it was really me and not the sight all those years ago.For those with an astigmatism, have you ever tried co-witnessing with your iron sights? I have found that viewing thru a ghost ring style rear sight will clean up the dot. I prefer 1/3 co-witness as it give the ability to ignore the sight and be fast where the blooming doesn't matter, but then drop down and look thru the rear sight for distance. YMMV
You guys are right - astigmatism is somewhat corrected by placing a small aperture in front of the aiming eye. Us bullseye shooters have been using merit disks on our safety glasses to do the very same thing you're describing. And on my medium range iron sighted guns the adjustable rear aperture also contains a dioptric adjustment to provide focus on the nodal point between the rear and front apertures (vortex/burris and other prism sights have this similar feature). I noticed with these etched glass reticles to be useful without the artificial illumination - that the reticle design benefits from being a little larger or thicker than what you might otherwise think would be best from an accuracy standpoint in large part because its simply quicker to pickup.I almost wrote that lol.
