My String Hits My Glasses..anybody else wear 'em?

(1/3) > >>

johnston:
After around twenty thousand shots since January my shooting had improved considerably. Still ain't good but anything at 15 or less has a problem.

 Broke my glasses and got bigger lenses in the new ones to help with the progressive bifocal they make you wear when you get old. First session with the new glasses they got knocked off three times. Never happened before but there it is.

Evidently my nocking point (cheek bone w/first thumb knuckle) puts the string behind my specs. Am now using middle finger in corner of mouth but it sure feels funny.
Aint losing much draw length it is just lower.

Anybody else ever had this problem?

I have a problem with my glasses I hit them as i am trying to come to full draw. 

johnston:
I hollered before I counted the pigs. Shot 2 hours today, maybe 200 arrows, and my groups are not only better but much more repeatable. Consistent and consistently better.
Ain't real hard to figure, I was actually pulling at an angle before and now it is straight in line with my eye. Only took me 50 some years to get it right.

Pappy:
Never had that trouble and I did the same as you did with the glasses,bigger.
But I have always anchored ,middle finger in the corner of my mouth.  :) I do have problems with them fogging sometimes,especially in cold weather if I try and wear a mask and pull it up to cover my mouth. >:( >:(
