Yup. Progressive. I only look through the tops.

So, you look through the top inner edge of the lens.... the area where distortion is the greatest - and after you miss with the right barrel your left eye takes over instinctively where it is looking out through a more centralized area of the lens and POW... you smash the bird.

I returned my progressive lenses years ago and got bifocals with the horizontal line through the lower third of the lens. I didn't care much about looking like an old man with bifocal spectacles.... heck I am one!
Not that I shoot much better with bifocals these days, but at least I can see the target clearly now.
