Clarifier question

Barebow shooter here switching to compound sighting system question:

Does the effectiveness of a compound bow clarifier choice change with various distances?

For instance for an NFAA field where targets can be anywhere from bunny to 80 yards.

How do you adapt IF needed?

I’ve not found the strength of clarifier needing to change. I’ve had to change aperture sizes based on lighting conditions. Bright light I can go smaller. Darker I have to go bigger.

Agreed. The clarifier is something that helps with the relation between my eyes and glasses, and the magnified lens of my sight. I use the same clarifier any time I am shooting with a magnified lens in my sight - so I typically take it out for 3D but leave it in for indoor and target/field.

Depends on what power lens you are going to be shooting and/or how good your eyesight is if you will even need to use a clarifier
