An EyePal customer's experience with Macular Degeneration

Your EyePal is miraculous! I have Macular Degeneration and I'm legally blind in my dominate right eye. I shoot right-handed, too. I used my left eye to fill out my firearms permit application with great difficulty. When I purchased the handgun, I also brought my new EyePal Handgun kit with me but I was skeptical it would work. The gun dealer was nervous about me testing the gun as I couldn't see well enough to fill out the paperwork! Using the EyePal, I could see the sights and target. I shot the handgun for the first time with my right eye which has the MD. I thought I had only hit the target 4 times until we looked closer. I had shot through 2 holes twice and shot 5 out of 6 in the bulls-eye. The dealer, my husband and I were shocked.   E. CT. USA

EyePal, cataracts and low light levels

Charlie, I know I have a small cataract in my right eye. I use my right eye to shoot.I noticed that it is a bit darker compared to my left eye when wearing your EyePal, I found it too small a hole and darker than before. I will get to my eye Doctor to have it checked but wondered if you had any thoughts? NR, GA. USA

Answer; First, finger off the trigger while you're aiming. Close your eyes for about 30 seconds to open the pupils. Resume sighting. Now the image is nice and bright. Take the EyePal kit to your eye Doc to show what an aperture can do for shooters and archers who want to enjoy shooting again. 

The “Eyes” Have It

Monday, February 16, 2015

This is an introduction to a product called the EyePal Peep Sight System.  It’s a simple little device that will help any shooter or bowyer see the target more clearly which should translate into better shooting and higher scores.  No training is involved and the unit is self-contained, ready to go as soon as it arrives.  So what is this amazing little device and how does it work?  It is a disc of a type of self-clinging plastic with a small aperture hole in the middle.  It affixes to your clean shooting glasses (or reading glasses under your shooting glasses if need be) directly in your sight picture.  It can easily be lifted off and repositioned as needed for the optimal sight picture, or for storing it back in its contact lens-style case.  Should it start to lose its ability to cling, simply rub it across some polyester clothing to build up static.  How it works is basic optical science: The human eye and brain have difficulty working together to focus on more than 2 things where near and far objects are involved.  Example: rear sight, front sight and a target.  The bad news is it gets worse as your eyes age.  Also, the eye can only focus on one image plane at a time and as it tries to range between the rear sight, front sight and target, eyestrain results.  The EyePal allows your eye and brain to work together to clearly see all 3.  In the consumer optical trade the EyePal is referred to as an “autorefractor” allowing many common vision challenges to be overcome by increasing the depth of field.  It transmits an undistorted small image through to the pupil.  Not exactly a new concept in that peep sights have been around for more than a hundred years.  However, with the EyePal the peep sight travels with you, the shooter, and is equally useful with iron sights, dot sights and even low power scopes.  You have the option of shooting with both eyes open as well, another method to help alleviate strain when holding on target.
Invented by Charlie Summers, an optical researcher with MIT, the EyePal can be beneficial to any shooter, young or old, excellent vision or not.  The EyePal comes in 3 configurations: one for handgunners or bowyers (has a slightly larger aperture), one for rifle and the Master Kit which contains one each of the rifle and pistol EyePal.  It has also been approved for use in CMP sanctioned matches.  The kits are available through their website at www.eyepalusa.com for $29.95 per set and come with a money back policy if you aren’t satisfied with the product. Our friends at www.airgunsofarizona.com would consider carrying the EyePal in stock if there is enough interest from the readership, so let them know.  It’s one of those “why didn’t I think of this” gadgets that you soon learn you can’t live without…
Until next time; remember to exercise and protect your freedoms or risk losing them.

Steve Comus' EyePal Review

EyePal® Peep Sighting System

Aging shooter alert. Help is now at hand. Regardless how good one’s eyesight is, there is a way to make it better while shooting.

Every once in a while someone comes along with a gadget or goodie that actually makes sense. So is it with the EyePal® Peep Sighting System.

EyePal® eliminates “fuzzy sight syndrome” for open-sight shooters and archers giving them a clear view of their sights and the target.


EYEPAL APERTURE DEVICE helps put things into focus when shooting.

Similar devices have been used through the years in various target shooting events, and the concept is founded in aperture sight systems that once were common on rifles.

In years gone by, there were even aperture devices with irises that made the actual aperture itself smaller or larger, depending on what the situation dictated.

This new device does not require the firearm to be altered.

Since telescopic sights have taken over most of the hunting market, the focus on aperture sighting has dropped off significantly. Yet there are many times when the aperture makes total sense.

For example, when using any of the AR rifles with mechanical sights, this new item can help the shooter deliver shots more accurately. And for many handgunners, this well may change their game for the better in an instant.

The EyePal® Peep Sighting System, developed for the open-sight shooter, was designed and patented by Charles Summers, a retired MIT optical specialist and avid firearms enthusiast.

Frustrated with his inability to see his sights and target properly without suffering from “fuzzy sight syndrome,” Summers came up with a solution that brings into focus the sights and the target simultaneously.

Whether a shooter or archer suffers from vision difficulties or aging eyes or is new to the sport, the EyePal’s unique aperture system provides an immediate sense of eye relief as the image of the target and all of the elements come clearly into focus.

The EyePal® is applied easily onto any protective eyewear. The small aperture provides the maximum depth of field. It does this by producing a very small image, which travels, undistorted, through both the lens of the eyewear and the pupil of the eye.

The result is a perfectly focused sight picture of both sights and the target. One of the reasons this is possible is that the EyePal’s large black area surrounding the target or game blocks the unnecessary peripheral visual information, allowing the eye to get only the necessary information to make a clear shot.

The EyePal® is available in three versions: Rifle or Handgun Kits include two identically sized apertures matching their kit application and the Master Kit includes one rifle and one handgun aperture. The EyePal® apertures come in a handy storage case.

Simply open the top of a well and place your EyePal® on the glasses. The EyePal® can be easily removed and relocated until the perfect sight line is achieved. The EyePal® is approved at the NRA CMP National Matches and is available online or at retail stores. MSRP $29.95.

EyePal and the SEO challenge

It seems from what I understand that in order to have some markteing success in the Social Media realm, EyePal needs to have thousands of followers, likes, pins and other connections to gain presence. Also, I may be wrong in my thinking, too.

And since I don't have the skill sets and time to obtain them, I'm considering paying a commission for each EyePal kit sale generated through the EyePalUSA.com website cart page. There must be a method where a revenue stream can be created through SEO services provided by those who know how to implement a program.

If you have an idea how it can be done and are interested in revenue sharing through a commission basis, please don't hesitate to contact me.
