I must admit that, when I was contacted by Peter Moseley from
the company Tactical Scope about the EyePal Peep Sighting System, I was a
little skeptical that such simple device could be quite as effective as he said
it was. I’m not saying he was trying it on in any way but I’ve seen all sorts
of products over the years that have made elaborate claims. Well, after testing
it for a while, I can honestly say that everything he said is true!
The product has been designed to enable shooters with less than
perfect vision to use open sights effectively. I’ve noticed over the last few
years that I can’t quite get the open sights of a pistol in focus like I used
to. The U-notch rear and blade foresight are a bit fuzzy these days, especially
when the light levels are low and I’ve been thinking about investing in a
couple of scopes for my favourite pistols; I won’t have to spend the money now!
The EyePal is a patented device that attaches to your shooting
glasses. It’s essentially a non-marring piece of ‘static cling’ material (think
of it as a sticker that’s not actually sticky!) with a small hole in the centre
and it’s placed on the part of the lens where you would normally look through
whilst shooting. The hole acts like a ‘pinhole camera’ and the resultant image
is that of the sights and target being in focus. I can now get the foresight
centrally in the rearsight, without any blurriness and the target is in focus
like normal. It’s possible to use the EyePal with either one or both eyes open
and it really has improved my shooting.
The EyePal can be used by pistol/bow and rifle shooters and
there’s one of each in the ‘Master Kit’, or two of each type in the ‘Handgun/
Bow Kit’ and ‘Rifle Kit’. At £19.95, it is very good value for such an
effective product.
