Default contacts?

i got contacts a few months ago. i just got my bow and noticed that they cause a blur. probably because the way im turning my eyes im catching the side of the lens or something. i noticed the same thing on open sight rifles and when i turn my eyes sideways i notice the same thing. i hate wearing glasses but that may be the only option unless you guys can help. anyone else wear contacts and notice that?? any fixes or ways around it?? thanx

Never had a problem with my contacts, archery or firearms.

Sounds like your's aren't fitted to you that well.

hmmm thats odd. i thought maybe it was a part of having contacts. i dont know what to do since i have about 8 months supply left. the Dr looked at them in my eye and everything and said they were perfect...hmmmmm thanx guys....maybe i gota learn to use them. i just got them in late may i think it was. i wont lie i only put them in a couple days a week. when i wake up early for work i just cant fidgit with them to put them in. maybe i just need practice! or you could be right and they just dont fit my eyes......

Make sure you have them in the correct way...if you don't it will cause your vision to blur. If thats good...the only thing I can think of is that you should try adjusting your ancor somehow so you aren't looking through at an angle. I'm trying to think how I shoot...I'm pretty sure I turn my entire head and look straight on.

Having hunted archery both with glasses then contacts, I can without a doubt say that contacts are better. Try to figure them out instead of just going with the glasses. Contacts won't fog up from heavy breathing when a big buck walks infront of you

if you have shot a lot in one day it could be just some eye fatigue especially since you just got your new bow, youve probably shot the piss out of the thing havent ya?????

The only problem I have ever had with mine was when it was windy. If you are staring a long time looking for deer sometimes they dry out and you have to blink a bunch of times to see clear again. Maybe you're not blinking for a long time and they are drying out when you shoot.
