Default I can see my pins again!!!

I just put a Verifier Peep on my bow. http://specialtyarch.com/verifiers.asp

I have a pair of almost 49 year old eyes, that don't focus on close objects very wellanymore. I have found the solution for shooting my bow. The Verifier is like putting reading glasses on my bow. There is a small lens that screws into a special peep. It makes the pins crystal clear again. I haven't hunted with it yet. But I shot at some targets at the archery shop tonight. It was like going from shooting shotgun sights to using a scope. My pins used to be a big blurr, now they are .019 pin heads. It does help to shoot with both eyes open but I believe it would still be a benifit to those who close one eye also.

This one is a Keeper. You over 40 guys that need reading glasses to see the newspaper, need to check this out. IT WORKS!!

Jeff was just telling me about his today and I'm considering it as well. I know how well my "Clearifier" works for my Scope sight on my bow. I haven't tried a Verifying lens tho. I already have the peep, migh as well pick up a verifying lens.

The target has a little blur to it, but not bad at all with both eyes open. I found out tonight that having the pin in focus helps more than having the target perfect. My pin used to look like a big blob. Now it is crystal clear.

Haven't checked that out yet. But I don't hunt in a lot of foul weather. I have too many good weather days I can hunt.

The lens can be screwed out and used like a regular peep.

JOHN!!! I'm with ya, Bro!!!!!!!!!!!

I shot with mine for the first time, today. They put it on my bow, last night!

It is awesome to see the pins clearly, again.

To answer the question about the weather.....I won't be hunting with this. My eyes aren't so bad I need it to hunt with.....just for target shooting. I see just fine to hunt.

I have looked at this peep, I hunt in all weather conditions and was wondering how it works with COLD weather and fogging, rain/misting weather etc... I would hate to have to take the thing off in the woods when I used to it! Just curious! I have had a little trouble seeing my top pin at times or it being hallowed so to speak! I might just get a bigger pin for my top pin!

The #'s are for different strength of lenses. Depending how bad your eyes are. They go in the Hooded peep made by Specialty Archery. But I think they might fit in the super ballpeep also.

At the shop I was at they had a rotating wheel with all of the different lenses in it. You held it in one hand and a handle with a fiber optic pin in the other looking thru the lens, and rotate the wheeluntill you have the sharpest picture.

Kinda like at the doctor. Is this better or this one.
