i dont know what ill do...hate wearing glasses. my contacts bother me when i shoot. i went 19yrs without any correction...i might have to hope i dont shoot the neighbors cat if i cant get used to shooting with contacts in. my dad hunts with glasses and he can barely see out of them half the time. we hunt a spot thats ALWAYS foggy till 10am or so. so are his glasses! lol we will see im going to try to practice with them in and see if i cant get used to them

Contacts give me much better peripherall vision than glasses. The only problem is when the wind dries them out.. I need to carry eye drops w/ me.

I can't do too much without my contacts. From driving a car, or walking, without them I'm blind.

i had one fall out on the way to my stand in the morning before light. That was a crappy feeling, stupid twig smacked my facea pulled my contact out. Had to dig out my flashlight and find it, Thankfully that didnt take long and i had some water to clean it with and was ready to go without much issue.

I wear contacts all the time. For the rest of you who don't wear glasses I would highly recommend getting a pair of safety glasses to walk to and from you stand in the dark. I learned he hard way and now I never enter the woods in the dark with out them. You may think it is stupid and I have had guys poke fun of it but without my eyes I can't shoot a bow. Just a little advice from a safety guy.

I wear my contacts all the time. I'll never take my glasses in the field (I don't take them anywhere) but I remember when I was about 12, it was really coldand my glasses fogged up and I missed some geese that were flying over. I vowed to myselft that woud NEVER happen again... and it hasn't.
