Quoted: You can get contacts that correct astigmatism, but they are 2 - 3 time more than regular contacts. I'd rather by the $1 disposible contacts. Or better yet, I wear my corrective shooting glasses.

Correcting astigmatism isn't *just* relative to your red dot scope. In fact, if you drive, I'd be correcting it for THAT before I'd be correcting it for plinking.
I was amazed at the difference between my standard disposable lenses and my toric disposables.

It depends how bad the astigmatism is.
I had a "minor" one diagnosed years ago in my primary eye. All the doctors that did eye exams, for corrective lenses, said it was too minor to need treatment.
I never had any trouble driving because of it.
More serious astigmatisms could/should be treated.
I recently had Lasik surgery, which also corrected the astigmatism. Very little difference, except during shooting. There it made a large difference, because I apparently couldn't obtain consistent site alignment.
I think shooting is a more eye complex task, because you are focusing on a site, and a target that can be very far apart.
