    Competitive Archery limitations
    I'm going to uni in September, and it's one of my aims to get into competitive archery, but I'm short sighted with astigmatism. I wear contact lenses (or glasses) which really improve my vision, but I was wondering if this would prevent me from competing or would cause any serious problems if I were to compete?

    Considering the world record holder is legally blind I wouldn't think so.

    Legally blind in one eye. Not both.

    You'll be fine OP. Many archers wear glasses.
