    Ok here is my problem... I am near sighted so I wear glasses to see things far away, When I look through my peep sight with my glasses on I see the target fine but my pins are quite blurry. I have heard the verifier pin sight will help this problem Does anyone have any experiance with verifier peep sights? Also how do I know which one to get, I have to order it on line and I dont know which one. Thanx

    I actually have one of those. There are several power ratings on the glass that goes into the peep sight. You need to go to a proshop and try each one out. I've even changed it out after a few years because my eyesight changed. You'll have to settle for the clear pins but a slight out of focus target. you can't have both. I shoot out to 40 yds and can see the target fine. Your shop should have a set up that you hold like at full draw and look thru to see which is the best magnification for you. Cost's around $35. It wil help out seeing the pins.

    You'll need to get the peep housing and the verifier. You can buy the wrench or just use an Allen key. I just bought another set for my back-up bow. The peep and verifier were $43.00 total. As already mentioned you WILL have to test to see which one works best for you. BEST INVENTION SINCE THE BOW!!!

    Been using the verifier for a few years now. I have the opposite problem. I see perfect far away but wear readers to see close up. The verifier cleared my pins up and they are nice and crisp again. It saved my bow hunting.

    I'm near sighted and wear glasses too. What I find works is to get a sight that's on a dove tail. So you can adjust it to the best position.

    I'm far-sighted, my pin is blurry and the target sharp without a Verifier. I've had to play around a bit to find the right combination, but once you get it so the pin's clear and the target only slightly blurred, the "Verifier" is outstanding!

    I used verifiers for a number of years. Each time my eyes changed, another verifier. About 5 years ago, I tried An APO from Perry's no Peep. It gives me much quicker target acquisition, and the ability of shooting in low light conditions. I can see at a distance but need 1.75 readers to use the computer. I started by using 100 readers and could see my pins much sharper and still see down range.
    Using 1.00 readers also helped when blood trailing unbelievably.
    Perry's no peep works great. I have used it for the past 5 seasons and will not be going back to a peep.
