I wear transition trifocals and thought that the sun shade thing was just me. The trifocals make looking for free ranging arrows in the woods tough also. heck to get old...

Groundhunter, Wouldn't that keep you from using a cutter?

I hate to wake an old thread but this belongs here. I've been wearing no line bifocals for some eight years, resumed my lifelong affair w/ archery about four years ago. I could never get back to where I was mostly near point of aim but always a little left, a little right, nothing consistent. And unless I really concentrated I shot high.
Took my glasses off last weekend & proceeded to put the next 15 ARROWS INTO A 4 INCH CIRCLE FROM 19 YARDS. Walked up to ten, couldn't miss. Back to 25 6" circle.
I've started looking over the tops of the lenses but I'm open to any suggestions. I'm even considering laser seriously for the first time.

Trip,

I could never get used to the progressive lenses.  Once I switched to "lined" trifocals, my problem was solved.  I don't get the distortion that the progressives gave me.

Are you willing to give up what you are; to become what you could be?

Here's a problem I have. I'm trying to shoot instinctive and concentrate on the target. All's well and fine and I can see the target in sharp clarity...until my bow and arrow come into the picture.

All of a sudden, the target becomes blur and the tip of the arrow comes into sharp focus. I'm blaming the lower part of my progressives! I might have to get distance-only glasses for shooting.
