You really don't see how vision is important in marksmanship?

You really don't see how improving your vision doesn't make the target look bigger to you?

I know what you said intuitively sounds like it makes sense, but I'd encourage you to try a shooting sport in person if you're really interested in the subject.

I'm one generation away from subsistence hunting...

I had "my own" shotgun before I was born...

I know about guns bruh. Having better vision is an advantage in shooting.

It's not rocket appliance

Hunting and precision shooting is different. Not to mention air powered guns are very different from gunpowder based firearms.

Look, I'm not the right person you should be arguing this with - there isn't anything else I can say to convince you, except to say that the international world of shooting has accepted that corrective glasses don't confer an unfair advantage in competition. If you're really interested, find your local gun club, see if they have any air pistol events, try it out, ask the club director about the rules.
