I struggled with eye issues making it impossible to shoot with front sight focus for years. Solution....shoot something with optics on it.

For the last 3 years or so I've been making a habit of taking breaks to look out the window and focus on objects in the distance. I've place a piece of tape on the window so I can practice moving between near and far objects. Changing focal distances has improved for me.

.5 seems like a very large difference. I'm not sure what mine is exactly, but I'd say it's more like .2-ish or less. From when I first started shooting, I have tried to bring my focus in to where the sights are going to be before they get there, and pick them up visually before the gun is fully extended.
If I wait until the gun is up, and then start shifting my focus, it takes longer, especially since I am 55 and suffer somewhat from presbyopia, like all humans eventually do.

I shoot open, so my difference is .0

None of you turds have any idea what your numbers are?
Hell no. I have no way to measure the speed of my vision. The difference in flash sight picture and hard focus draw times is more dependent on visual acceptance than shifting of focus. FWIW, my eyes and brain aren't even totally connected. When I first glanced at the thread title, I immediately saw the words flesh light and hard.

Honestly, I wish I gave a shit. It sounds like an interesting conversation. One that I might be able to gather data on now.
I can say, back when I gave a shit (and maybe my eyes were better):
1. I drew to a clear front sight focus.
2. At 8y in DF, I could go from a front sight foucs while aiming at the lower A-zone, to a transition to the head where my visional focus went to the head and then came back to the front sight... In live fire, I know that time to be ~ 0.15s. (well, that was my live fire split time while that vision was going on... no real telling when the focal ques changed)
Unless otherwise noted, expect that all my posting here is in true Doodie fashion. If my post somehow upsets your sensibilities, well...there ya go.

Trying to decide if I want to go straight to the juice or start off with Bob Vogel's magic eye ball pills.
Hydration and exercise.

Yeah that is not even in my frame of reference.
Off-season goal is going to be doing the vision stuff from Seeklander's routinely. And hydrating. And steroids.
