Farsighted shooters, I need help!

[billinkb]

At 53 years old, my sight pins are becoming fuzzier each year. I’ve tried the magnification lenses for my peep sight, which makes the pins very clear, but then it makes the target blurry. I currently have an Extreme Archery 1300 sight on my bow, which extends the pins out about 8 inches, which is better but still blurry. I guess I could extend my pins out to about 4 feet, but then I would have a hard time getting the bow in my case.

Anyone have any tricks up their sleeve?

I went to a Verifyer peep, they have different powers that may help you. Sorry thats all I got, it works great for me.

I share you farsighted affliction.

First, try using smaller fiber, and do not flare the end...simply cut it off flush, and maybe variable illumination an L&P light kit for example.

May have better luck with a single pin style sight, than an aperture full of blurred pins.

Without the ability to "see" your sight picture, I would advise; Do not look at your pin or pins. Fix your focus on the target prior to drawing the bow... as you are anchoring, acquiring peep/sight picture, do NOT shift the focus...keep it on the target and allow the pin to simply come up between your line of sight and target. Use your pins(s) as an "indicator" not an aiming point.... "aim" at your target. Avoid shifting focus to check your bubble too... with practice, you should be able to see it in your peripheral vision.

Maybe the verifier lens that you have in your peep is too strong. From what I read on the Specialty Archery website, the stronger the lens the more it will blur the target. I use the same type set up and my pins are clear and the target is as well. If I remember right mine is a #6.

I have the same problem, and as stated, I focus on the target and "fuzz out" the pin.
