I didnt think a fixed lens was permitted under TSNZ rules, only glass. You can only use a fixed lens/diopter in foresight. Environs For indoors there is no probs with using either or even both if you want to, as far as I know. There are nifty little holders available for securing a lens to the rear sights ( some people used to fit a small lens in the old rubber cups which whould slip over the rear sight) and I think there are moves afoot to allow them outdoors for ISSF type matches Diopters are not allowed for ISSF type matches and you should (need to) get TSNZ aproval to use them for other outdoor matches You see you are not supposed to have any sort of optical aids for OD shooting with the exception of corrective lenses worn by the shooter and I guess by fitting a lens in a holder attached to the rear sights and then fitting a diopter you can effectively make yourself a telescopice sight (optical aid?) Even a lens in a holder fixed with the rear sight and adjusted in combination with the apeture of the rear sight can technically be adjusted to give a telescopic sight effect

Even a lens in a holder fixed with the rear sight and adjusted in combination with the apeture of the rear sight can technically be adjusted to give a telescopic sight effect Hi Grumpy here are the current rules, the bold underlined bits are the ones that lead me to beleive I carnt use 2 fixed lenses.4.3 SIGHTS 4.3.1 Any form of ‘open’ or ‘aperture’ sight, fixed or adjustable, is permitted. 4.3.2 Foresight elements of plastic or metal, iris foresights and all neutral dioptre light filters, are permitted. 4.3.3 No magnifying combination of lenses is permitted, except that one lens not exceeding 0.5 dioptre (1.5 magnification) may be fitted to [b]either the front or the rear sight. In specific cases a dispensation may be granted.[/b] Refer to Rule 7, Clause 7.5. 4.3.4 Corrective glasses or contact lenses may be worn alone, or in addition to, any lens used as specified in Clause 4.3.3. 4.3.5 A blinder may be attached to the rifle or the rear sight. 4.3.6 Telescopic or electronic sights, including light emitting devices, are prohibited. & 7.5 Any competitor suffering from defective eyesight and whose condition the provisions of Rule 4.3 cannot rectify may apply for dispensation to use additional optical aids. So Grumpy are what you are saying I could have 2 fixed lens but it would be under Rule 7.5? Your help would be appriciated. Environs
