RE: How the heck do you shoot with glasses!!!!!!
 

I too wear glasses. All I do is push my glasses to my face as close as I can push them and I have no problems at all. It is a pain but it works for me.

Chris is right anchor your thumb around your neck it will square your face up to the target.You never realise how much of an angle your looking at till you try to shoot with glasses, keep at it you'll find you like it.

Bob/Wolfen &quot;confucius say &quot; he who smart arse go blind&quot;! <img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>

I considered contacts but couldn't imagine putting them in and out each time I picked up my bow since thats the only time I want to &quot;sharpen&quot; my vision.

I notice that if I push the glasses into my face then they fog up in the corner. This is indoors!! Can't imagine what a pain this would be in the winter with condensed breath!

I think the solution is gonna be to change the anchor somewhat to square up more as some suggested.

Thanks Guys!

I am also losing the battle for good sight! I had to start wearing glasses a couple of years back. So far, I shoot my bow without them. I just can't seem to get used to shooting with glasses. This year I may try contacts. I wear progressive lens, and when I look through my peep sight, I end up looking with the reading lens! Good luck! I think the contacts will be the way to go!

say good bye to hunting glasses and buy a perscription pair of goggles. the kind horace grant used to wear they strap tight to your head and come with a fog proof coating. any eye glass store can make them that is what they use around here

TWANG, why take the contacts out? Just put them in in the morning, and take them out in the evening, that way your vision is always &quot;sharpened.&quot;

If you do go the contacts route, look into the disposables, they are a lot less hassle than the traditional daily wear contacts.

well I have been wearing glasses since first grade and shooting bow almost as long an the first thing I do when I set up a new bow is to drill out the peep as much as can possible be done than raise your peep up on the string more than you would if shooting with out glasses than drop your front sight down to compensat you also may want to shorten your draw slightly so you have a little more room to tuckin to you bow and it doesent hurt to put your arm guard back on for a while , while you experamint small fram glasses help to like the ones radar wore on mash good luck :)

I started wearing specs 38 years ago, switched to contacts 20 years ago, got bifocals 10 years ago, and now I can't see sh*t. Just do what I do. Slam your eyes shut and use The Force. <img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

Is that why you keep missing deer, Author i mean Jedi Knight :) Just kidding. I where glasses. I also have contacts. Just adjust your bow until you feel comfortably and try that. Once you are comfortable with wearing your glasses and shooting, take your glasses off and dont adjust anything on your bow and just try to shoot like that. Try to find comfortable settings that you can wear your glasses or contacts/no glasses.
