Multi pin sights and bad vision

[howzitbra]

I recently got a new bow and at the shop I sighted in my twenty yard pin. It's a TR React 5 pin. The other day at the lease I went to sight in my 30 and 40 and so on and I had a heck of a time shooting anything other than my 20 (top pin)
I guess my old eyes really struggle with multi pin sights.
My previous sight was an HHA single pin and there was no problems with it.
I must say though that the React sight works just as advertised. I usually shoot with both eyes open but with the React sight I had to close one eye to clear things up.
So now it's either keep the React sight and shoot with one eye closed or go back to the HHA and continue like I always have, both eyes open. It's a dilemma for me because I really, really like this React sight. I feel a little more confident shooting the React! Hmmm decisions decisions.

i'm a little confused,, how can you be confident in something your having trouble with? i mean if you like that's great,, but if you can use it the way you prefer how can it be better or an improvement?

You can get a peep clarifier.

I'm having trouble with it if I keep both eyes open. No trouble at all if I close one eye. I've always shot with both eyes open and closing one eye just feels wierd though I can shoot just fine with one eye closed.

I have multi-pin sights and because 95% of my shots are 20 and under, I just don't use the other pins. When I practice with them, it is sometimes a struggle to push the 25- or 35-yd pin onto the spot (mild target panic I guess).

One problem I figured for me out is the faster bows have such tight pin spacing that there is too little room to see the target well, even with .010" pins, especially at night with lighted pins, and I'm shooting a slow bow--240 fps.
