RE: BLURRY PIN ?
The blur is a distraction and it is keeping me from aiming at a specific point. I can only hit about a 2"-4" area at 20-25 yards now. I was shooting 1 inch groups all day long before the pin went blurry on me.

RE: BLURRY PIN ?
OK, I don't have perfect eye sight anymore and my pin is blurry all the time whether I concentrate on the pin or the target. I do concentrate on the target though. I use a very bright fiber (HHA sight) and was having troubles during any daylight hours, the pin giving a starlight effect. What I did was take electrical tape and wrap it around the guard which toned down the pin by leaps and bounds, So now the thing is still blurry (I'm 62), but the starlight is gone and I'm able to aim a whole lot more effectively.
This might not be your problem, but for the price it's certainly worth a try.
You might play around with different size peeps, too. You'd be surprised what a slightly smaller or larger peep will do.

Depending on your age you may be suffering from a condition know as Presbyopia which is natural aging of the eye that cause your short distance vision to become skewed so you end up pushing fine print and other objects further away from your face to make them appear clearer but your distance vision remains the same. Look it up on WebMD or some other search engine. I am a physician and if you are 40+ could be this. If not in this age bracket and all other equipment malfunction have been ruled out, make an appointment with an Opthamatologist soon so you aren't dealing with this in the fall.
