Default Aging Vision

I've reached that age where I need progressive lenses for vision, and it's presenting quite a problem for focusing on my target. My sight dot is usually blurry, and once I get it focus, the target is then blurry. Anyone else having this problem, and have you found a solution? Thanks.

sounds normal to me....only thing that should be clear is the target itself...focus on the spot..float the pin on the spot and make the shot...

maybe step down a pin size would help?? i went to a .019 pin ontop and .010 pins for the rest and love it...the .029's were just too dang big to be precise for me...exspecially at a distance...

i agree, bringing your pin size down may help...what about looking at a fixed pin pendulum, i used a keller pendulum sight for about 8 years, it performed great, and it was easy to visualize

I have the same problem. I assumed I needed a new prescription (well, I know I do) Hopefully it'll get better when I get the new ones.

LMAO rybo.


Guys, I'm there too. I use a verifier lens in my peep. It clears the pins and allows me to still see my target. These are lens that screw into a Super Peep.

Thanks. I like the sound of smaller pins on the sight.
