    I recommend focusing on the pins, the peep and target will be slightly out of focus...the pins are the most important. Try to look more forward, not tilting your head down.

    Good luck, I've had bi-focal glasses for 35+ years.

    I find it difficult. I have a pair of hunting glasses with one way distance correction. Pins are clearer for me.

    Are you wearing traditional bifocals, trifocal or progressive no-line? The sight on a bow will be at or slightly beyond arms length which is really past the distance a traditional bifocal is designed for so IMO you should not be looking through the bifocal when shooting. Progressive lenses tend to be blury as you approach the inside (nasal) and outside edges of the lens.

    No line glasses suck as the sweet spot is so small & right in the center, I finally went with the line in the lens & made it a lot clearer.
    Just had cataract surgery & implant is for far sight & no longer need glasses to shot after 55 years & loving it.
