Well I have always had a problem with shooting and not being able to anchor right and not being able to see through my glasses. Was wondering if anybody else has the same problem, cause contacts are not an option...
Shooting a bow, and wearing glasses.....

I had to start shooting with my non-dominant eye closed when I started wearing glasses.
I have the "no line" bifocals, and I shoot best looking out the very top of the lens (far sighted) at the pins.
I also found setting up 1 30 yd pin, by itself, has been VERY helpful to me. A bit high, a bit low, but they're still going to the butcher!

When I wore my glasses there was years that I took off my glasses to shoot, because I was having trouble looking through the peep sight and still focus on the pin and deer. Later on, I used to cock my glasses (if I remembered) to one side of my face to be able to see the pin and deer. Even now that I switched to a cross bow, I take my glasses off to shoot. I am able to see much clearer throgh the scope with my glasses off, and try to remember to put my glasses on right after the shot to see the deer run off.
I tried contacts many years ago, but I had to wake up about an hour earlier just to try to get them in.
I think as soon as I need glasses to read, I will go for the laser surgery. At 52, I am getting close!

Go to a opthamologist and have him work up a lens for your shooting eye.while the dominant eye test is ok,you are altering the dead ahead focus of your eye when you shoot a bow with one eye..When you get glasses your eyeglasses are actually changing the conversion point of your vision.I have had eye problems that started out like that and I ended up with finding out I had a tumor on my pituitary gland which grew into my optic nerve.You probably dont have those issues,but it is the first sign.Don't listen to me or others go to a good opthamologist ,not a optometrist and explain your issues.Good Luck.
I had both eyes operated on already...I was just letting people know that wear glasses and shoot a bow that using a verifier peep will help. My wife worked for some of the best eye dr.'s and surgeons around...was just trying to help other people out with what I have done

I have been wearing bifocals for quite a while. The first thing I did was to get a pair of glasses made with the reading lense a bit lower than normal. Next a kisser button and finally the best was the No-Peep. I think the No-Peep is the best move I made. Now I have absoutely no probllems shooting with the bifocals.
