open sights vs scopes

I used to be a crack shot,but after hitting 40 my eyes are not what they use to be.I have trouble focusing. It's really tougher shooting my bow over 20 yards. I still hit good with Iron sites at targets,but picking off running game is getting tougher.

its funny you say that.. i thought it was just me.. anything over 20 yards through my peep starts to get blurry and hard to focus on..

I'm hearing you about the eyes bro, as a kid 18-30 I had 20/10 vision and could spot a squirel or grouse at about 100 yds, hit a beer can at 50 yds with open sighted pistols and open sighted rifles to 100 yds, now at 52 I cant even read my watch without my specs, sucks getting old don't it. I agree 100% learn from the ground up open sights before scopes, my longest deer kill ever was with an open rifle sighted mossberg 12ga mdl 500 combo.

When I'm shooting my bow at targets I can't see the target thru my peep.I even use a large peep site. ANd when A hog hits the road I just can't get on it like I use to. You only have a split second when they are being run.

i wear glasses and if your sweating it either foggs up or gets wet.. sucks.. lol
