Son having sight problem with bow

[ifishdad]

Hey , my son is 8 --"hogsticker199 on the green screen" he is complaining about his sights.He shoots a Mathews Mission with release and peep.
35#draw with carbon express arrows. He says when he draws back and looks threw peep everything is good but when he puts sights on target 3d deer,hog etc. He cant see anything said sight looks like a dinner plate.
We are both new at shooting so I do not know what to tell him or to do to help any suggestion. He has a good set of sight cant remimber brand but they arnt cheap ones.

Have you had his eyes checked, may be a vision issue not a bow or bow sight problem.

My be a dominant eye issue. Is he closing his left eye when shooting?

This is probably a dominant eye issue. Have him focus on the target the whole time, and not close one eye, and see if it gets better. It could also be a sing that he could stand to have his vision checked, and possible needs correction. The pin should NOT be the focal point of his vision at any time. he should stare at the intended target for the whole cycle. draw, anchor, aim and focus. Never should he stare at the pins until he finds the target. Then the mind will not want to take the closest thing out of focus to refocus on a further away object.

After getting his vision checked out as stated before....get an anchor sight and lose the peep.
his sight window will become huge..will make the target the focal point..and it will correct any and all torquing and give him the exact same anchor point everytime...

Hogsticker199 if you reading this think about what he is saying

[toddblue68]

Has he ever shot a long gun or BB gun? Has he done so lately? Ask him to do the exact same thing if not or if it's been a while. This might help eliminate the bow.

After the above, ask him to practice aiming at a target on a dark background like a dark fence and alternatively a light background. If the "plate" differs in color with the background, probably focus/vision as has been suggested which would be aggravated by near-sightedness. If the plate is just dark in both instances, probably obstruction like a peep tube if it has one.

Have you tried lining it up as the shooter? It may be a bit difficult with a shorter DL, but you should still be able to see if there is some obstruction.

Post a pic of the bow and shooter at draw.
