Where do you focus? Front sight or target?

Where do you focus? Front sight or target?
I'm trying to figure out which would work better. Should I focus on my pins or my target? I seem to be more accurate at close range with focusing on my pins, but do better with focusing on my target at 30 yards and beyond. I am guessing that most of you guys focus on the target. My pins have a halo around them when I focus on the target. It is almost like they are too bright or something. Or maybe I need to go with .29 pins instead of the .19 that I am currently using. Maybe I need to get my eyes checked. Any suggestions on what I should or need to do?

target during the draw (picking the spot) then peep, level, pin, target in that order and keep on the target until the shot goes off.

Focus on the pin works okay for shooting targets, but I do NOT want my focus on anything except the target when I'm shooting at an animal. An animal might move a little bit and if you were really focused on the pin there's a good chance you wouldn't notice. So, since I don't want to shoot one way for targets and another way for hunting, I always focus on the target.

I focus on the target.Your pin has that halo or blur because you can't focus on these two things at the same time unless you are pretty close to your target;yence the halo effect at longer yardage. Hope this helps.
