If your pins are fuzzy, you need a verifier.

Here’s the specialty archery website with verifiers. Typically they work like reading glasses, and help you see the pins. If you normally have +1 reading glasses then you should go with the #1 verifier and so on. Also you may need to get a peep housing for it. Hope this helps

Getting old is better than the alternative.

If your pins are fuzzy, you need a verifier.

And, if your eyes are fine, & you find your pins are still fuzzy, you might consider taking a good air hose to them, & shoot more often!…..Laugh

Your pins aren’t fuzzy because you don’t have any. Laugh

A verifier should help. Get a hooded peep to go with it to cut down on glare. Glasses suck to shoot in. I didn’t realize how bad until I had lens replacement surgery in nov and dec. I can actually see where to aim on a 45yd target now. May not hit it, but I can see it.

Got a verifier today and it made a world of difference. I could see things I never have seen before. Lol did not help my shooting any but I could see where to hold dang arrow just did not go there. I guess now I will have to find another excuse. lol
