Sorry for the length of this post, but I hope some will find some value in it.
When I turned 40 it was like a bell went off and my eyes just didn't work for me anymore. I chose to get contact lenses that I could see far off with and just use reading glasses close up.
Guess what? I could see the target perfectly, but had no idea where my sight pins were. Some told me about a Verifier peep which is like having reading glasses for your pins, but there goes the target - now you have to shoot both eyes open which I really don't do. I'll do it in extremely low light, but I am just not very consistent that way.
I went back to the eye doctor and got lenses that I can read with. Now I can see my pins, but not the target.
On my Monster XLR8 I decided to try something different. This is a very different bow, and I bought it to have fun with, so why not? I bought a Viper Predator MicroTune sight with a 4x lens. I also bought an 1/8" 1x Clarifier peep sight. Perfect.
Now I can see my sight pins just as clearly as a youngster, and I can see the target beautifully and I see it 4x bigger than do the others.
The Viper Predator MicroTune is a little louder than I like, but it works very well. You bet your butt I'll be hunting with it - that's why I bought it.
It took me a little while to get it all worked out with the peep, but once I did, it came together really fast and really well.
I will probably never shoot the way I did when I was younger because I am just not that steady, but I am definitely shooting better than I was and it's a lot of fun!
If you've thought about adding a magifying lens to your sight, but wondered if it would work for you, here you go. It does, it will, and it's sweet.
