Default Bow shooting w/ specticals

just wondering if anyone else out there has a hard time shooting with their glasses? my problem is my pins will be out of focus with the glasses on, but i can see much better, and i can see my pins better w/o the glasses but cant see very well past 30yds, any advice i' ve thought about taking off the glasses but that takes some movement

Get lineless bifocals. They give you a trifocal lens but are less expensive. Once you adjust, your problem should be resolved.

I' m still adjusting to mine. I just got them this past summer. I get double vision when looking at my sight pin if I don' t turn my head a certain way. It' s a pain in the butt but I' m slowly learning to deal with it.

I had my glasses made so that the part of the lens for close vision was place low on my lens so that it would no interfere with the mid and long distant focus.

I recently went to progressive lenses(I hate the word bifocals)but since I don' t use a sight I use my regular prescription lenses while hunting.
