Xin'an Evening News Anhui Network Dawan News Anhui 10-meter air rifle player Ding Jiawei not only wears heavy, but also wears thick glasses, and Hu Kai, an Anqing boy who won the championship with a 10-meter air pistol, is also an "glasses man"... When the reporter inquired, he never expected that many shooting athletes were short-sighted.

Hu Kai's myopia is more than 200 degrees, Ding Jiawei's myopia is more than 500 degrees, a shooter, actually highly myopic? It is reported that Wang Yifu, Xu Haifeng, Tan Zongliang... These Chinese sharpshooters have more or less poor eyesight. For example, Wang Yifu's eyesight was once as low as 0.1, and he still won the championship at the Athens Olympic Games. He himself has joked that with his eyesight, he is almost enough to participate in the Paralympic Games. Anhui shooting star Xu Haifeng also said that when he won China's first shooting Olympic gold medal, his eyesight was less than 0.5, but he still achieved a breakthrough of zero gold medals in Olympic history for China.
Can myopic eyes aim at the bullseye? In shooting training and competition, what is the concept of a bullseye 10 meters away? The diameter of the target paper 1 ring is only 4.55cm, and the bullseye point with a maximum of 10.9 rings is only 0.5mm in diameter, which is equivalent to the size of an automatic refill. If you put the one-dollar coin in the center of the target paper, hit the one-dollar coin to make five rings. Imagine placing a one-dollar coin 10 meters away, an air rifle with only a scope and no magnification function, and you can still see a one-dollar coin?
Cheng Hao, deputy director of the Anhui Shooting Sports Management Center, told reporters that in fact, the requirements for vision in shooting sports are not so strict, and the selection of materials is more about the ability to resist pressure and psychological quality. Xu Haifeng also joked with the media that in the past, he used to select materials and specifically select athletes with poor eyesight. When the vision is blurred, you will not pay too much attention to the bullseye, but will spend all your energy on maintaining your own balance and stability. Of course, this is just a joke, but it vividly points out the key to the shooting competition.
