Default RE: bow peep sight

Stop being vain and go get glasses.

Certain vision problems, serious or non-serious, are improved or worsened when trying to look through a small aperture, in low or bright light.

If your vision is improved by looking through a small pinhole, you will cancel out any benefit by enlarging the " peep" hole. Then it becomes " Catch 22." Your field of view will be very small and low light will be your worst enemy.

If distant objects are blurred, you have become " nearsighted." Go to an eye doctor and have glasses made specifically for hunting and shooting conditions. I have " lineless bifocals" ….which automatically gives you " trifocals" at less cost than asking for " trifocal lenses."

Tell the eye doctor you want the midrange portion of the lens to clearly focus starting at about 24" to 30" . You should be able to clearly focus through your peep, pick up your pin, and have clear vision to any distance you will be shooting, and normally more. I had mine adjusted to sharply pick up the rear and front handgun sights held at arms length and found they work very well with my bow out to several hundred yards.

If your vision problem cannot be corrected for peep use, he or she will know and know why.

OR, dump the peep as I did....but still have your vision checked....or glasses checked for updating prescription.
