Bi-focals

[arrows only]

I am 46 years old & just got bi focals a few months back. I can't shoot thru my peep w/both eyes open!
If I close my lefteye, my groups are left 3" @ 18 yards. That's the distance ofmy indoor range at home. I can't ever remember shooting with one eye closed.
I have been shooting this set up for 5/6 years.
55#'s @ 29"
1 or 2 pins max front sight extension 3"s w/peep sight
carbon arrows w/a release,sling & stabilizer

Should I just learn to shoot w/one eyeor get rid of the peep?

Arrows only...

I feel your pain. This is my first year shooting with "progressive" lenses. I'm having great difficulty getting everything in focus. If I look through the top of the lense, the target is in focus, but the pin is a complete blur. If I look through the bottom of the lense the pin is clear, but the target is nothing but a blob.

I'm now getting a new precription just for shooting. They will be regular lenses and larger than what's in style. This appears to be the only way I can see the target and the pin, in the manner that I'm accustomed to.

By the way, I have to shoot with both eyes open while hunting in order to feel comfortable and see my target clearly in low light. Therefore, that is how I practice. I would never do anything that would cause me to have to shoot with one eye closed.

I also have the same problem,of which,was solved with two pairs of glasses.The larger lenses with no frames around the glass for shooting,and then my reglular ones for everyday.Also,try wearing a strap that holds the glasses tight to your face.This was a graet help to me.
By the way,I shoot wiyh both eyes open....Bob

I always shoot with one eye closed, guess basically come from shooting peep sights on rifles or even scopes, or iron sights, always close one eye! I wear bifocals and with one eye, your dominant eye, you will sight for it. As I said, I shoot rifles and bows always with one eye closed. I also open them after the shot, but always one eye closed!

I had a similar problem and solved it by switching to an Accu-peep with a clarifier. This cleared up the vision problem completely.

I wear bifocals and don't have a problem shooting (archery, rifles, shotgun/skeet, etc...) I just keep using glasses with the "line" and don't bother with those newfangled progressive lenses. So many people I talked to have had troubles with them.
