Put a red dot optic on your pistol. Those things are magic for older eyes. Look at the target, put the dot over it and squeeze.

I do this for a living...
What are you trying to shoot specifically?
A few pointers for shooting glasses you want the narrowest bridge you can get so it won't interfere with the angle of your head and eye when the gun/bow is shouldered. You want a larger lens to you don't catch the edge. Bifocals or progressives are more than doable but take work.
Pistols? Rifles with iron sights? A scoped rifle?
Iron sights and pistols are the most challenging to get someone shooting them well over 40. I typically have patients bing their firearm into the office and we work with it and them to get the sights and target clearly. Occasionally we need to bring them out to a range and work with them. There are people that will and can help you, however you won't find them at Costco.

Doesn't work with an astigmatism... Hopefully I can see red dots with glasses, right now I just have a pair that correct for near sightedness the progressives coming in hopefully this week should have a correction for astigmatism, near sightedness and then a power correction so I can see up close with the glasses also. Honestly, even without prescriptions I can still shoot a tight group.
