LOL, LOL!!!!

Just wait,,,, you havn’t seen anything yet.

The next thing you will start getting wax smears, sweat dips, finger smuges and best yet, rain drops….

Had to contend with this all my life.

Just be sure and keep a clean rag handy… LOL!!!

I only need mine to see.

Now you’ll appreciate hats with brims – worn forward – learn to anchor without lifting the lens (and how the target appears) at the last fraction of draw and learn that “pick the center of the blur” is sometime the best you’ll get. 😉

About 10 years ago I gave myself the best gift. Better than a boat. I went in for Lasik surgery. No more Coke bottle glasses or the contact lens alternative. There isn’t a day I don’t thank the modern technology available this day and age. It is the perfect solution for all-weather activities. Hunting, especially.

Wish I could handle contacts. I have enough problems just putting in eye drops when needed.

I have been using glasses now for some yrs [ mostly for distance -astigmatism]. Like every one it took me a while to get use to them just generally, and shooting with them specifically. My close range vision {20yds} is good enuff

that I do not need them to shoot.

I actually now “like” the Idea of having glasses on me[regularly] from the safety aspect. Protection from all manner of dangers to ones eyesight in the field, but also against shattering arrows, possible frayed/cut strings etc.

At age 40 I found it nec. to get bifocals:shock:and it took awhile for me to get used to it. I to would take my glasses off and shoot the center of the blur:roll:but then I just buckled down and reworked a part of my form for the better8) Sometimes it really sucks getting older

I am really blessed, I’ve worn glasses all my life, well since about age 8, I haven’t had a problem shooting with them. It’s just not an issue.:?

The rain, sweat, smears, are, but that’s part of glasses. I too have come to appreciate hats with brims over hats with bills.:P

I don’t wear glasses to shoot, but need them to read close up things. I am sure that I can’t “pick a spot” with as much intensity as I used to be able to and feel certain that my shooting has suffered for it. I think I’m still okay spotting animals by eye, but there’s enough other things creaking on me that I may not be giving that my full attention. G. Fred Asbell

I find I hunt better { spot game quicker/easier }, and shoot better [ more accurately pick a spot – especially at extended ranges]wearing my spectacles! It did take me awhile to get used to using my glasses, but I much prefer hunting with them now! for me anyway. The wilderness is so much prettier when you can see it well -haha. Now if I could fix my hearing—-

Without my glasses I couldn’t see to type this entry 😯

But for shooting, and especially hunting, FORGET IT 🙄

Contacts work wonders and nowadays they are VERY comfortable (been wearing almost 30 yrs) I’m not a candidate for Lasix (dry eyes) but do wear 7 day conatcs when I’m in the bush,… 8)

I have to say my experiences are similar to Scouts. I can’t count the number of eye injuries saved by the glasses keeping limbs and such from slapping me. And wood chips in the shop, etc…

I can shoot without them, but they sure make the whole woods/hunting experience better.

My most recent pair of glasses are the hip new square type. I used to go more for the round shape, but our little ol optometrist doesn’t stock anything but the square stuff any more. But I discovered that the narrow square style is actually better.

They sit closer to my face, give me a better view, and stay out of the way of the string.

I guess what I am saying is that maybe you just need to experiment with the style of glasses you have. Also – maybe a pair without the bifocal would be good. You can call ’em your shootin’ spectacles.

I’ve been wearing glasses since I was in grade 8. My eyes have slowly gotten weaker over very many years to the point where I now require trifocals. My sister, who is in the glasses business, talked me in to the invisible kind of trifocals (without the little lines). What a mistake. When they grind the invisible kind of trifocals, they don’t pay any attention to the edge of the lens, which is what I look through to shoot my bows. Only solution – I got a pair of “shootin’ spectacles” as mentioned by Steve. Also helps me from stepping over the trifocals lines while in the bush.
