After much work I finally got my bow sighted in. I could not figure out why I was having such difficulty to begin with. My bow has been on for years. I am not the kind of guy to get a new bow every year, One because I cannot afford to and two my bow kills just fine. Parker hunter mag. About 12 years old..
Back to the trouble.- It hit me as I was sitting in the back yard having a cold one. Damn , My glasses. That's why I had trouble. That's why everything was different.
Here is the problem. I do wear my glasses everyday but my eyes are not that bad really. I hunt without them and see just fine. I hunt without them because They get foggy when I hike and it irritates me to no end. I still see animals before other people so all is good in that department.
I guess now I have to go back and re-sight my bow and shoot with no glasses. :bash: :bash: :bash: :bash:

Get Lasik and you will never have an issue. I hated glasses while trying to hunt

I've been shooting both ways this year, with and w/o glasses. I hate shooting with the glasses but can't hardly read a map without them any more. Luckily, it seems I can hit the same spot either way.

I'm near sighted something fierce. Can target well at 50 yards but lose my arrows at 30 yards. I have trouble picking out animals at long distance, but my glasses make my pins look like christmas tree lights, so i can't shoot with them. It's going to be a really weird thing for me this year. I've considered lasik a lot more since i figured that out.

I'm trying contacts this year, dealt with fogging glasses too much in the past

I have the same problem. My pins become blurry if I do not have my glasses during low light and the red fiber optic color. I have looked at the Lasik but I am not sure that would fix much. Wearing cheaters while hiking get all fogged up.

This is also sounding familiar to me. My vision used to be far better than 20/20 but it has gone down hill recently. The red fiber optic is the worst - rather than seeing a single pin I see 2 (one on top of the other with a less distinct red blur between then). Trying to figure out which of those pins is the real one can be a challenge. I tried wearing glasses, which sharpen things at a distance but make them way blurrier close up (the sight pins). Sucks getting old. :P
