    Default Shooting with Glasses?

    Who here shoots with glasses? Here’s my problem, how I line up on the string, I am looking across the bridge of my nose. With glasses on, if they aren’t sitting exactly perfect with how I sighted my bow in, I hit way off to the left since I am looking through the far corner of the glasses almost at the frame. Tried to change anchor point but that didn’t work. Can’t wear contacts.

    Anyone had this problem and did something that fixed it.

    Turn your head more, I touch the string to the tip of my nose and it shoots the same wether I'm wearing glasses or contacts.

    If you start wearing the yellow ones inside I'm gonna ask you be locked up immediately
    Yup, he's crazy...


    like a fox. The dude may be coming in a little too hard and crazy but 90% of everything he says is correct.

    Sort of like Toof. But way smarter.

    Turn your head LESS. Take a look at this video and see how straight the test subject's head his as they test the position of his peep sight.



    I don't presently use a kisser button, but might give it a try this year.

    You want your head to be squared up to the bow more. It's kinda hard to explain but you don't want to be looking out the corner of your eye.

    I did away with the glasses. I can’t hunt as late because things aren’t perfectly clear but changing what I focus on, both eyes open, etc I finally started shooting like I should without the glasses. I’ll get away with it for the next year or so, then its lasik I guess.

    Get a set of shooting glasses made by someone that knows what they are doing. I fight the same thing with rifle and bow. Morgan Sport Optical has built my last several pair.
