I'll try to expand on this a bit as I am one of those oldies that need bifocals. I have a Verifier lens in one of my bows.

There are 5 different diopters to fit the Specialty Super Ball Peep. I forget the color coding but they range from #5 to #9, with the lowest number having the least diopter correction.

They thread into the peep and are changeable. They come in different sizes also, up to 1/8" if I remember right.

I have +2.00 bifocals and can use either a #5 or #6 and it does clear up the pins. If you get too much correction the pins will still be clear but the target will become blurry. You have to try them to see which does the best for you. If you use Progressive bifocals you may be out of luck.

One thing I might mention is that if you shoot with both eyes open then you have some "brain retraining" to do, as one eye is looking through a lens and the other isn't. It'll look a little wierd for a while. Depending on how bad your eyes are you might consideer the lens for 3D and target and just remove it for hunting where absolute pin-point accuracy is not needed for fairly short shots. Again, this is something you have to try for yourself. With the lens removed the hole will be 3/16" which helps pass more light through.

NOW, if you check Specialty's website you'll also see that they make a hunter version, which has a tube. This one has a bigger hole so the lens is bigger to boot. 1/4" if memory serves me right. Maybe the ticket for hunting. The peep body itself is plastic so here's what I did. I just took a pair of wire cutters and removed the protrusion that the tube connects to. Then filed it flush. Just a little "push" here, but I have Gibblet's string on my bow so no tube is needed (ya like that John?).

In case anybody is interested you may also find them on Lancaster Archery's website. That's where I got mine. I live only 35 miles from there.

Again, do not buy one on a whim. You really need to try the Verifier to see which works the best for you and draw your own conclusion.

Now you snuck this in. Your guy might be right and peep size can help, usually going smaller. Just remember that the smaller the peep the less light passes through it so the pins may not be visible in fading light.

Being as you can focus on the pins and they are sharp then you are probably normal. If you focus on the target, say at 20 yards, then it is impossible for the eye to focus on two things so far apart.

Something else you might try is to dim the pins a bit. If they are too bright then they definitely can "halo" on you. Overly bright pins are not always good, and can actually become a distraction.

I'll still stand by my previous post for those wo need the info.

Thanks BG, I think I will try and shoot a bit with low light conditions and see if the halo remains, if that clears up, I can easily make something to cover some of the fiber optic that will remove in early AM and late PM hunting. I will also try to look through different peeps to see whats the best for me. I actually can hit a pie plate 95% of the time at 60 yards, so it's not that terrible, but I would like to hit more "x" rings rather than just the "10".
Thanks

Someone had asked if there is a 1/4" version without the tubing. Here you go:

http://www.keystonecountrystore.com/Archery_Equipment_-_Supplies/Archery_Peep_Sights/Spec_Arch_1_x_4_Hooded_Peep_Housing/Page_3/PEP2792306.html

You're right. The hole is 1/4", but after you screw in the insert, with or without a Verifier, it's down to 1/8".

No BG , Specialty now makes a verifier where the lens itself is 1/4 . They just came out with them not long ago. A friend of mine has one of them on his hunting bow. Also there are only two sizes of the verifier lenses and that is the 1/8 and 1/4 inch models. Wish they made a smaller one but as of date they dont. One of the things that I always liked about the specialty peeps was the ease of changing the peep size instantly

You can check Specialty's website and see that the Super Ball and Hood Superball have a threaded hole that is 3/16" (no insert) and accepts inserts from 1/32"-1/8". The outside threads on the Verifier for these two peeps measures 3/16" and the diameter of the lens itself is 1/8"

The Hunter Super Peep (the one with tube aligner) has a threaded hole of 5/16" and accepts 1/4" Verifiers.

I thought I explained this in my last post. Or did you not see it.

This info is from the 2007-2008 Lancaster Archery catalog and from Specialty's own website.

When most people make reference to Specialty peeps they are talking about the Superball and Hooded Superball. And because the inside threads is only 3/116" there is no pyhsical way to put a 1/4" Verifier in it.

http://www.shopatron.com/product/product_id=SAR1.7999/344.0BG , Follow the link and you can see for YOURSELF , they do make a Super Ball peep for the 1/4 Verifier lens. Before calling someone a liar make sure you are right first. Dont get your panties in a wad so easily next time.

i think y'all both agree they make a large one w/ 1/4" verifiers.

I'm not going to argue this point forever. Here are some measurements. I'll assume that the Superball Peep does have a 1/4" hole. The outside diameter of the #6 Verifier (part # 753-12) is .308" at the threads. The ouside diameter of the housing that the lens is mounted in is .325".

Fit this into a .250" hole and you're better than I.

I'm looking at the parts right here in front of me and used a micrometer to get the measurements.

I looked at the link you asked me to. Go down the list to any of the 1/4" Verifiers, click on it, and see which peep it fits. It tells you what is recommended.
