I use pure tung oil on the unpainted part of the shaft. I like to  cap dip and crest so glue isn't an issue. When I first read about using tung oil the author said he fletched first on bare shaft. I like the oil because I don't get a target burn or annoying little pieces of 3D target stuck to my arrows. When it wears I wipe on another light coat.

When I wore glasses and needed bifocals I had issues like almost falling down stairs. Shooting was a guessing game as the line always got in the way at midranges. Tried progressives as well. Not much better. I gave up and got 2 pairs of glasses, one for close, one for far. In those days I was into competitive archery as well. I had a habit of "forgetting those close readers. So I was not trusted to keep score.

I never heard of that and Im a plumber!  I can't wait to try that,,,, I wonder if you could wet sand the final edge even if its oil and it gives it that polished scalpel wickedness.

My final step was leather over the pvc with some polishing compound-mirror edge

I'm very near sighted (with astigmatism) and have progressive lenses.  I just focus on the target.  :dunno:  But I hve a very upright stance and that may make a difference.

I have the old double bull too what a blind it is I dont think anything compares,,, didnt primos buy them and primos ruins everything.

rms gear and big Jim have huge inventory's of used bows,,,,,, if not your in WV,,, Id strongly suggest holding out till July and going to denton hill where you can spend all day trying different bows and you will find the right one.

I hate them!!  but Im in a tree stand and with the bifocals which have the reading script on the lower glass everything down at the ground from the stand is blurry,, I have to remember to bring my second non bifocal pair.........  here where I am in the north east if its freezing out and i have any sort of face covering like a balaclava they fog up if I breathe out my mouth and my nose is always cold.....  my eyes dont work good any more, my ears are ringing all the time so I dont hear deer I only see them,  my left knee is always sore,  sometimes in the morning after leaning down and tying my shoes my back locks up,, i have a truck load of bows I once thought were easy to shoot but now their too heavy to pull,   getting old is a challenge thats for sure....
