Default Shooting with eyeglasses

I' ve been bowhunting for about 26 years and have never worn glasses. I recently
started to wear them and was pretty excited to shoot my bow with my new found
vision. The problem is that I aim looking down my nose and look right through
the open area in the glasses for the bridge of the nose. Other than contact lenses,
does anyone have any pointers or techniques? Also, do you other 4-eyed archers
have trouble with fogging lenses in the cold or damp weather?

deerdrag, it will help to open your stance a little. another words, turn more towards your target. I have dropped my peep sight on both my bows, that has
helped also. if you have to have your peep, then take a look at the c-peep.
it' s offset on the string (to the left) and should keep you from havin to twist your head at such a sharp angle.
as far as foggin, good luck. I ain' t found nothin that keeps mine from foggin up
completely.

Not sure I can give any pointers but been shooting with glasses most of my life. I think once you get use to them you will do okay. Just the fact that it is new!
