Default Archery shoters who wear glasses

Just curious how people who wear glasses shoot their bows. When i'm outside in the bright light wearing sunglasses i find they interfear when trying to line up through the peep sight. When it's nice and bright it's also uncomfortable not having sunglasses on and i'm just wondering how to get around the problem.

shoot with glasses contacts sunglasses as well as prescription sunglasses and havent found any problems it will all depend on how you have your peep positioned on your string i have mine high enough that i can shoot with glasses and low enough that i maintain all 3 of my anchor points

It sounds like your draw length is too long. I can't think of a way your sunglasses or eyeglasses for that matter will interfere with the peep.

Same problem as Muzzy. When looking through it's the nosepeice that i see out the corner of my eye. It's not the lenses themselves hitting the peep. My draw length is fine also.

Used to have the same problems and many more during cold weather temps, high humidity, rain, snow etc.
Got my eyes lasered last Nov and problems all went away. I wish I would have done this 10 years ago.

To clarify my previous post, if I can see my nose piece, my head is out of position and I need to adjust my draw length to correct it. To me, that means it needs to be shorter.
