It’s really awesome seeing someone on tv that you like and finding they have their own yt channel, especially when they’re elites in their sports.

Thank you, Paige, for continuing to share quality information with your fellow archers! We appreciate you.

I will say that high power lenses, because the target looks closer to your eye, you get a finer aiming point and therefore might see a bit more wobble if you're just getting into it and aren't sure about your form. Personally, I started with a 4 power lens and I am perfectly alright so far with shooting, it gives me a bit of comfort that the target looks bigger and I can relax a bit, and if I use a big dot I don't see any wobble. That changes however if you go to a 6, or an 8 power. 1st, you might need a clarifier, and if you're in rainy and foggy conditions good luck trying to not have that thing fog up. Clarifiers come in many powers, but if you choose to use one, you need to change a peep sight to a threaded peep sight with adjustable apertures like ones that Specialty and Hamskea offer, which will cost some more cash. Some people can go without a clarifier for a 6 power, but it's better to be safe than sorry. Hope this helps some of you!

Thank you so much for this - You just sold me on bumping up higher, because I also find a giant target "comforting"

Thank you for this explanation. Every person is different, that's the beauty of archery 👍

Many thanks for this upload! Panic attacks are horrible but we can learn to fight them! Nice work!

I read a question about size clarifier. You’ll need a red #3. With that you’ll have to adjust the peep size depending on the distance to eye-to-lens. I’ve been using an 8X for 5 years coming from a 6X. It takes quite awhile to get use the the movement. Don’t quit after a few days. It took me about 3-4 months to really feel good about it. I’ve broken 3 USAA Nationals records with the 8X. If you can handle the mental movement after a couple of months, go further with the 8X. It’ll pay off.

When I shot 3D archery years ago I used a 8 power lens and it helped me out. Great video. Great reason for why you use a high powered scope. Thanks for sharing it with us.

Good insight into your reasons for shooting a high mag lens. 👍

Appreciate the video, I was thinking of starting with 4x lens. your explanation of your experience was spot on!

Thanks a lot!!! ❤ i really apreciated. Ouff, i just baught fiew day ago (its on is way) a Shrewd OPTUM 29mm with all the bell and wistle with a X6 lenses. I was afraid to not buy the good one. Thanks for the advice. I tried a X8 and im not ready yet. Lol (Dot move to mutch for me). Thank you also for the info on the Dod size and color. Its really hard to have good answers. To mutch false info on the internet and a lot of diferent opinion. Its hard when you are a beginner like me and try to buy the good stuff ones. And to have real good true answers on these subject (archery). Thanks a lot, its really appriciated!!! Looking forward for your next videos

I've seen people that use the high power lenses sometimes hit the target to the left or right of theirs and getting a miss even though it's a 10 in somebody else's target.

Makes sense. Good points. I may try inner on my next optic I try. Thank you for your input.

Hi Paige. I like what you are saying about the higher lens but until I get an steadier aim I would be sea sick all the time. I will try your wrist technique for an steadier aim. Thanks again. 🏹🤠👍

Outstanding tip dear 👍thanks for the recommendations 😎

yup, I prefer a giant target too, and so far I have a 6x lens - the target does look blurry but, not that bad that prevents me from executing my shot. I'll try a 8x soon! .. I hope it won't be way too blurry.

I float a little bit but it always centers when I breathe. I think that is why i do archery, that process. I'm not just centering my pin, I'm centering myself. I want to get on a hinge but I think ill just practice BT more with my index for now.

Another thing to consider is draw length, a 6x lens with my 32" draw length probably looks about the same as an 8x lens at your draw length. As a general trend, smaller people tend to shoot higher power lenses, just because of that.

I been doing research on this . Thank u so much

I prefer the 8 or 9 power lense. I want to see the basketball lol.

I been shooting decades , this year I decided I would try to magnify . Got a 4 power , thinking about getting a 6 and 8

Paige, what clarifier do you use on a 9 or 10x lens? I have a #3 red Specialty Archery clarifier, but it does not clean up the target face. I also have a Hamskea Peep setup I will try the D lens. I shot a few lanes away from you in Lancaster this past week or so ago on the Practice range upstairs and in the back on the astroturf range and was amazed with how great you were with each and every one that approached you. I loved to see how much time you spent with the young girls, as soon as my granddaughters are old enough, I will have a bow in their hands and your videos on their tablets. keep up the great work you are an inspiration to all young ladies.

Here again, I fully agree and think that I am in your team of big magnifiers. I like to have a big picture and a big yellow taking all the space on my sight. One question though, do you use clarifiers in order to still see the fiber correctly? In the positive, would you please share the clarifier # that you use? many thanks Paige, Cheers.

Hello Mrs Pearce. Again thank you for your info. As you said, indeed a high power lens is not suited for all :) I have however two other questions. You talked about target and 3D on regards of lens power but also sight picture and scope size. What about Field where you need the clear view for measuring the target-distance - and thus rather a 6 power or matbe 8-power lens... while still being able to fit the whole target in the scope? Also a large size scope might help ... but how do you manage to still being able to lign out the peep with the scope (of you barely can see the sides or outer ring of the scope as it is big) Thanks in advance for your advice AND time!

Great video!

Paige, Great video. As I get older it's harder for me to focus on both the pin and the target. Will a magnifying lense help me with this problem? or is there something else you could suggest? Thx.

Thank you very much

Paige looking great lady god bless you in your tournament

Great info thank you

Happy 4th to you. Big fan. Do you ever have pin glare or starburst and how do you deal with that. I run a 6x lense and previously a 4x lense. Had the same issue with both. Thank you and again, big fan. Appreciate all your content! 😎🎯

Big Fan! I currently run a 6x lense on a 40mm Bowfinger scope and it's great, but I would love to run an 8x lense. I purchased an 8x X-Focus 365 lense but can not get any sort of clear sight picture. I've tried all clarifiers from .5 all the way to a 3, and nothing works. Any suggestions?

Hi, always like you videos and to follow you on the international scene. Im new to archery. What do you recommand for 50M outdoor shooting. Magification strengh and size of scope? What kind of dot color or size also please??? What is the best scope to buy?

Iam trying to figure out a good magnification for shots at whitetails anywhere from 5-50 yards

Thanks Paige. I’ve always shot 4 x for 3d and indoor and 6x outdoor. I will try more power for spots and see how,well I get on. I find a 80cm face way small with 4x outside, so maybe 8 will be better than 6x?

Using high power lens requires a clarifier, how you deal shooting with this set when it rains. Peep protection are not bullet proof. I see alot of people struggling with foggy clarifier 😢. I m a short draw and the only way to not use a clarifier is using a 4x lens, but i found not very good for target or field archery. Any suggestions?

If you focus properly, meaning focusing on the target instead of the dot or the pin, does it matter which magnification you choose if you can't see the wobble due to focusing on the target and not the pin?

Paige, You shot trigger releases. Do You think that trigger releases better cooperate with strong magnification than BT ones, or it doesn't matter?

Hey Paige thank for the information but one Question Do you use a clarifier or verifier on you peep sight? I kinda new to this

Hunting with a scope? Anyone use it or tried it?

Page, what clarifier do you use IN your peepsight. I shoot with a TenZone 29 mm scope 1, that's equal to a 100.I think I think that's the heaviest lens, here in Europe. My peepsight is one with an original build in clarifier. I don't know the power of it. It has 2 dots painted on. But what you said in this video that on a Vegas target you see a massive 9 like a ball, well I don't. What do I wrong ?

What is the best sight to use for ease of adjustment

How do you see into dark lanes

Do you use any type of clarifier? I shoot a 6x lens but found the target was fuzzy.

Great tip Paige ! Not much point in asking a question since I see you haven't answered any others.

Do you using Axcel Doc's choise lens?

I got target panic thinking about 9 power lols.

What size clarifier do you use?

Do you need a clarifyer with a 6x i just got one today its blury

Paige do you use a clarifier with your 8x or 9x setup?

I thought lenses are illegal for World Archery competitions!

Paige what about hunting?

In my mind " it's massive" she said Tate!!!
