Wearing glasses to hunt?

Anybody hunt with seeing glasses? I usually don't but I can't tell where my arrow goes. So today I'm trying it out but I wanna know if that is a bad idea. My eyesite isn't that bad as I usually don't wear them. Aloha

Alohaz Kauai808,
Not a bad idea at all. It may affect draw length, distance to anchor point depending on release type. peep sight. Just a slight re-align adjustment. I dont know your setup though.
Maybe you cant see your arrow cuz your bow is one of those red hot string smokers most everybody has nowadays!! Good luck.

I've worn bionic eyeballs since hanabada days. I can't see 12 inches without them. My advice is that if you are gonna wear them to hunt, you should wear them during practice too. I firmly believe in practice the way you are hunt, and hunt the way you practice. I also believe that you need to see where your arrow goes so you can make sound decisions on following up on the shot. If your arrow is high or low, and you are lucky enough get a second shot, it can help you figure out the range. Or, if the hit was a bit back and maybe hit liver or gut, and you weren't able to see it, you might try to follow up on an animal that needs to sit for a few hours. Then you bump him and he's gone. So......if you need glasses to see arrow flight, then wear it--all the time. Or you could try something like the Lumenok to see arrow flight better. And shoot with a Lumenok--All the time.

As for shooting/hunting wearing glasses, it may affect your anchor point or sighting as Maukakane pointed out. A lot of archery books suggest shooting with your nose just touching the string, to help keep a solid anchor point. I found this didn't work well for me, as that meant I was looking out of the extreme top left corner of my glasses (RH shooter, right eye dominant). If I've been sweating, that area of the lens tends to be blurred by moisture. So I adjusted my form to look straight out the center of the lens. This means my nose doesn't touch the string. Instead, I use a kisser button in addition to my peep, to help keep that consistant anchorpoint. The other problem I have with glasses is that sometimes they fog up when the humidity goes up and you are sweating. Before going hunting I treat my glasses with an anti-fog gel for dive masks. It helps, but doesn't eliminate the problem. Face masks or netting also means your glasses tend to fog up from your breath. Use camo face paint instead. Finally, do yourself a favor and get prescription sunglasses too. They are worth every penny. Good luck, and let me know how it works for you.

Thanks guys. Good points. I think I need to wear them all the time hunting and practice. Do you think the reflection or glare off the glass could have a impact on the game?

I would suggest to let some arrows fly at a target with your glasses and see if your dead on. If not DONT use um you might just end up wounding the animal. Aloha Kimo

I don't think they reflect that much, but I am always wearing a hat with a brim, and I don't wear mirrored sunglasses.
