What springer did you shoot today?

Try an adjustable iris eyepiece the first chance that you get to try one!

It sounds like the aperture is too small for your eyes in one of your eye pieces. You can gauge them both and see if there is a difference, and open up the smaller of the two with an appropriately sized drill bit.
DO NOT forget to blow out the inside of the rear sight where the eyepiece screws into, then are notorious for collecting dust, stray hair, dead bugs etc.
Oh yes, the old FWB 150 I just got had the front globe full of dust, cleaned it out. Most of my guns have to stand upright on the buts so I put a cotton plug in the front of the diopter and then a small plastic zip lock over the muzzel end covering the globe sight.
 
It’s not the same vision as the 300s. Looks like double vision. Blurry. Moved my eye different distances. Can’t eliminate the blur. Crow;.
I have a rear diopter that i see a hair like line thru it . if i shift my eye above the line it is one focus if i shift my eye below that line it is a different focus . the target seems to move closer and farther ???? I have cleaned the sight several times to no avail . Yes i have had my eyes checked ! a ghost ? My diopter is haunted ?

I shot peeps quit a bit, but only Williams, Lyman, Daisy, Skinners on my Marlin lever gun, & military rifles that I've owned. I, of course, had them on my Sheridan air rifle since the early eighties as well.

Now, my vision fails me. The edges have a ghost image like a mirage, that I can only overcome with large hole irises. I can’t use the fine ones any more.
My Skinners can be crooked if you’re not carefull, and if so it really creats an aggravated sight issue when the tunnel isn't dead straight.
 
Planted 14 trees last few days and I’m hurting. Dr. recommended range shooting for at least a day maybe two.
‘This is a great start a HW97 .20. and what a gun.

These targets I’ve circled are challenging to hit below the pole. Pole 33 yd targets 34. And the hit the tang of target.
