I have progressive lenses, about 6 years now, and didn't have hardly any trouble adjusting to them.  Don't really notice the blur anymore at all.

What really screws up your shooting is a detached retina followed up by vitrectomy surgery and then cataract surgery all on the same eye in a matter of 12 months.  I'm thankful I can still see out of both eyes!!

Just a quick ? for you guys that are wearing bifocals.Sorry for the hijack, but I can't help but wonder (especially after reading one of Rusty's posts last year) if needing bifocals and not having them could cause shooting problems. I was told at my last eye exam a couple of years ago that I was pre presbyopic, and want to know if that could  cause problems with my shooting(namely consistency problems). I do notice at times(not always, but often enough) that I have to hold things farther away to focus on them.
Experience is something you don't get until just after you need it.

Goodbye Shiner you were always a good dog.

The reason you are having the problem is the way the lenses are ground. The segments are in the shape of a figure 8 in the vertical center of the lens, and anything to the outside of that will be distorted. You can get used to it, but it takes time.

Good luck!

I have lined bi-focals and have never had a problem adjusting to them or to shooting the bow.Of course the way I shoot I should blame the glasses anyway.
The essence of the hunt for me is to enter nature and observe+ return safely occasionally with the gift of a life taken.
