In January 1963 William Branham was cougar hunting with Billy Paul, Joe Riley, and Dawson Riley. Billy and Dawson were target practicing with a super-X box of shells, but couldn't hit the centre of the red X that covered the box. William Branham stepped up to show the boys how to shoot, and Dawson challenged him to split the two holes on the box, instead of hitting the X. Taking the challenge, William Branham also said "I think I may need my specs for this shot" and took his glasses out of his pocket. | In January 1963 William Branham was cougar hunting with Billy Paul, Joe Riley, and Dawson Riley.

Even further, Joe Riley witnessed that it was around 10:00 in the morning when William Branham had made that statement, and it was around 10:00 in the morning when the doctor put the glasses over his eyes. | In January 1966, shortly after the passing of William Branham, Joe Riley's daughter made arrangements for him to get his eyes checked.
