I have been shooting a Spot Hogg sights the last 3 or 4 years and with the Eyes giving me fits with the pins, I went to a Bow shop and checked out the New HAA sights, and purchased the HHA DS-5019 Ultra Bow Sight, I have been going through some of my Hunting Gear, and I am so Ready for some shooting, I do go up to upland and shoot at a Range thats pretty neat. So Now I get to try a New Sight soon.

Hope the new sight gives you the pin sharpness you seek, but if your whiskers show some gray and your arms could use lengthening when reading the newspaper, the problem is more likely presbyopia, and the best answer is vision correction.
Brighter pins, green fibers, and extended mounting with dovetail mounts can delay the necessity, but time is relentless and the need for vision correction will persist and grow.

sakorifle,
I have had this site for about 3 weeks, and I must say although they are very expensive, Its the Best Dam sight I have ever used, I never felt I would shot out to 60 yards and now I know I can hit what I am shooting at. If you are looking for a new Sight, Give the HAA Sights a Look.Setting this sight up I took my time and dialed it in, and Wow, what a Sight.

thank you for that i am defiantly interested i will have a look at options but they are very limited over here in the uk.
I am finding my pins are too close together and i am finding it harder to sort them out.
thank you again
Billy

It's an aiming point, what makes it any different than any other aiming point? I need a point inside a ring and that ring just inside my peep, any point will do as long as it stays where I put it without rattling on the shot.
Just my .02 but I think sites are some of the most over rated parts on a bow. Nothing about them effects the flight of the arrow. A scope I'm right there with ya, good glass is a must, but a pin is just a pin and any pin will do.
Seeing the target is the most important part and if your specs are having a hard time doing that corrective vision is the only answer.

Ok nodog I will try to explain best I can
Most hunting people with specs can see the target perfectly well in fact better than some some that Dont wear them which is evident at the rifle range.
Problem with a bow with a lot of pins in is that because they are so near your specs they become out of focus and all the pins are on top of one another.
The answer is to have one pin, great but then you only have one range , the sight the gentleman bought is variable this is the ideal answer.
Don't run away with the idea that corrective vision works for everyone it certainly does not.
There can be major complications and I for One am not prepared to risk it,
I will go for a one pin adjustable sight when I decide to hunt with a bow.

Billy, I think you may have misunderstood the term "vision correction" to mean "corrective surgery".
I was speaking only of the non-surgical options. Kind of leery myself about eye surgery, and it usually doesn't take care of the problem we are speaking of very well anyway. Several in my family have had corrective surgery, and most of them still need reading glasses when they reach middle age. Presbyopia is a separate problem, caused by the normal stiffening of our eyeballs as we age that prevents us from focusing through the entire range of distances that we could when we were younger.
The correction I meant was simply glasses or contacts. For bowhunting, my favorite solution is contacts in two strengths, one for distance vision in the non-aiming eye, and one with reduced correction in the aiming eye. This is known over here as "monovision" (I have no idea why, since it's dealing not only with both eyes but with two differing focal lengths, but you know how strange some of our language is...8^) ).
It's a reasonably normal solution for aging eyes and works quite well for most folks, although occasionally someone has difficulty adapting to it and has to seek another method. The brain automatically and smoothly accepts the image from the eye which provides the better image, so you see the critter sharply focused with the eye with good distance vision and then the pins sharply focused using the eye that is corrected for focusing at 30 inches. It can be used even when leaving both eyes open by most people, but I found that for me, I would occasionally get the message crossed and somehow place the pin on the target using the left (non-aiming) eye, resulting in miss left about a foot and a half at thirty yards. I had formerly shot for years with the left closed at final aim, so it was easy for me to simply go back to that practice and eliminate the problem.
The downrange image of the critter using the eye that's corrected for a thirty-inch focal distance will still be fairly sharp, much better than the image of the pin with the eye corrected for distance vision (or uncorrected, if your distance vision is fine without correction).
The same effect can be achieved with reading glasses with the non-aiming eye lens removed, and that's an easy and inexpensive way to determine whether the monovision solution is right for you.
I just prefer the contacts when hunting as there are no reflective surfaces to alert the game, and nothing to fog up or collect rain and snow.
