Steve,
Because the front sight is the most important thing to focus on, I had my eye doctor (Dr. Rene Laliberte, Main Street Optometry, Pinckney, MI) make me a custom pair of shooting glasses with my reading script in the lower, bifocal lens portion of both sides, a plain lens in the upper portion of my left eye, and a lower reading prescription in the upper lens of my right (dominant) eye. This lets the front sight come in crystal clear. This setup is sometimes called "monovision" where the close or near sighted eye takes over depending on what you're looking at. Since I switched to this method, my shooting has definitely improved.

Since we're doing commercials now, I'd suggest anyone looking for another Sharps bullet to check out Moose Moulds new bullet based on the Dave France design but now with a short ringtail that lets you glue a Hahn tube to the base. The Moose calls it some number or another, but I've christened it the "Bobtail".
I shot an honest-to-God 39-3x 4 shot group off a rest at 100 yards with my Shiloh during a sight in session.
THAT is my new competition bullet.
The shots outside the 10 ring on the picture below were made as I adjusted my 100 yard sights.
