And also that theyre prescription…

And 20/20 isn’t “perfect” vision, it’s perfectly average.

So someone can get glasses to improve their vision (especially at a certain distance) to better than 20/20 and have an advantage.

While still not having magnification.

Do you think glasses that help you see further are working via magnification?

The point is that there’s nothing further to see beyond a tiny solid black dot.

You really don’t see how vision is important in marksmanship?

You really don’t see how improving your vision doesn’t make the target look bigger to you?

I know what you said intuitively sounds like it makes sense, but I’d encourage you to try a shooting sport in person if you’re really interested in the subject.

Nobody said anything about 20/20 vision.

Improving your vision means being able to differentiate details better. Magnification means that you can make something look bigger.

Having a prescription glasses that adds detail but not magnification means that the small target will still look just as small to you as it would to a person with perfectly healthy vision. How do you think this gives them an advantage over someone with normal vision?
