WhistlingBadger:
Thanks, JW.  I knew I'd get things figured out.

Ya I have trouble with my progressive lens also, it all get blurry when I tilt my head at full draw, I had a pair of glasses made with only distance and a small bifocal in the bottom for reading if needed while hunting, also a little bigger, that really helped. Once you learn to shoot it is 90% in your head, some days you are on and some you aren't. I go out and shoot a few arrows and if I ant into it I lay it down and come back another time,if I keep shooting on them bad days it just drains my confidants so I have learned to just lay it down. Good luck with what ever is going on in you life right now, hope it will all get better as I am sure it will. Life is full of ups and downs that's for sure. I truly love archery and bow hunting but a man still has to keep his priorities in check and as much as I love it , it isn't at the top of my priority list.  :)

One step at a time!  You got the shooting squared away, hopefully, the rest improves soon, as well!  Good luck!  I had cataract surgery on both eyes and opted for distance vision, still need the readers for close work and bifocal safety glasses when shooting or hunting, sometimes.  Haven't experienced the "blur" yet!

I noticed a few years ago that I was getting split vision while shooting (and reading music) and got prisms added to my glasses prescription.  I still like to shoot with more of an open stance, because if I really do a full-on "Olympic recurve" stance (or what I think that would be anyway), I end up looking too much out of the edge of my glasses.  I can see where progressives would be even worse.  I'm glad you figured it out!

I'll be missing Bow season this year also. Around the first of March my shoulders and neck started hurting real bad after I did two days of chainsaw and ax work. Finally went to the Doctor and had an MRI done and I have two vertebrae squeezing nerves in my neck. Waiting to see the Neurosurgeon right now but Covid has that messed up. And like you, also have the stress factor going now, my house goes on the market October 16 and expect it will sell real fast. Trying to build or buy a place in SC and figure out how to get 25 years of stuff packed and moved to somewhere if I can't find a place in time. I am hunting muzzle loader season next week in SC.
