If you hang your stand correctly you shoudlnt have to worry about sun glare. PLease check with local archery hunting laws to make sure its legal to use a magnified device on your bow during hunting hours.

We can't shoot lenses in hunter class in OUR 3D shoots.

i shoot a 3x lense on my bowhunting site. makes it easier to focus on a tiny spot, and I've gone as far as to use it as a pair of binoculars in a quick decision situation.

Last year I tried a lens for our ASA state championship and honestly I didn't like it a whole lot on a pins sight.

I do use a lens on my indoor, FITA, and field setup. Right now I have a Mag Sight 6x lens.

I too have trouble with fuzzy sights so last year I went to the hardware store and got some brass roundhead 8-32 stove bolts and ground the head down a little bit to make it rounder and painted the round part flurosent green. I have 3 pins and it seems to help as opposed to trying to find a little speck on the end of the pin.
Man it just sucks getting old.[&o]
