Progressive lenses are great and they include a bi-focal . No lines in the lenses.

I went to progressive lenses last year and it actually helped a lot with shooting bow. After 40 years old that really starts to become an issue. I always laughed at my mom when she took her glasses of to read but then it happened to me. :doh:

3/16 peep

I'm not saying my pin and target are PERFECTLY crisp like they are during daylight... each has a bit of a blur... my peep is definitely my main issue.

Stanley my main point is it is easy for a hunter to practice in a comfortable environment. Typically the shots we are offered in the field are much more difficult than what we practice. I shoot a small peep which helps with accuracy during daylight, but it is a hindrance when it starts getting dark. That is why I like to practice after the sun has set. It helps me learn my limitations.

I keep shooting until I know I can't hit my target with confidence...



Gotcha. I think like others have said bigger peep for low light is a must. Also both eyes open helps. Super bright pin also helps.


Don't forget your eyes. Many guys focus on the bow amd sight but many improvements can be made in night vision with fresh quality contacts or HIGH quality glasses. I personally see best with fresh contact lens but I have several friends that run Zeiss eyeglasses to maximize their time in low light due to issues with contact lens.
