[QUOTE="Buffalobob, post: 68647, member: 8"] That is a really great piece of information because when I was young I could see really well but by the time I was in my early 20 I had to wear glasses (also my hi frequency hearing was gone). Now for everyday I wear bifocals and I cannot hunt with them with a rifle or bow (shotgun is fine because I shoot head up) and have a separate pair of glasses for hunting and shooting. One other thing that was mentioned by someone else is to have the lens ground so you have good optical properties near the inside edge for your shooting eye. In other words get one of your hunting guns and get in your normal shooting positon and when you look through the scope notice what part of your glasses lens you are looking through and then when you buy you next pair of shooting glasses make sure they are ground for good clarity in that area. If you bowhunt this is really critical for sight pin clarity. I am going to see if my optometrist can do what yours did the next time I have an appointment and then I am going to order specially made shooting glasses. There are a couple of companies that do this kind of glasses. Thanks [/QUOTE]
