Anchoring points with Glasses
I like shooting big peeps and kissers but can't shoot very well without my specticals. But if I shoot with my kisser in the corner and my nose on the string, my thumb under my jaw, I have trouble seeing out of my glasses thru the peep.
What does others do? I even has some hunting glasses made that are wrap around Wiley X to get more lense in the spot I need it. Thinking of changing my technique with out my nose on the string.

Hm, you got me stumped there. I shoot with both glasses and contacts, and my anchor is the same regardless. Just thinking outloud, but perhaps your peep needs to be reset and your anchor adjusted a little??

Good answer... You will more than likely have to adjust your peep.. When I went from a trigger release to a back tension, my anchor point changed a little under my hear, and I had to adjust the peep.. I also shoot with or with out glasses it doesn't effect my anchor points. I don't use a kisser, as I had a mustache and I know by the feel against my mouth I am anchored at the right spot...

Well the nose position is what is killing me. I try tomorrow and see. I used to never need glasses but with this diabetes, vision went quick.

Mark, close your eyes and draw back, allow the string to touch your nose, ( still your eyes are closed) when you feel all your anchor points areon, open your eyes.. You should be looking out of your peep.. if not adjust it, and resight. That should correct it.

I bought contacts for hunting a few years ago...what a difference. Also, I shortened my drawlength, got rid of my kisser and use a Copper John Deadnuts Hunter with a large diameter peep. The orange sight ring fills my peep perfectly (the orange can just barely be seen around the inside of the peep) and I have no problem with consistency.
