    Ancient brain trust help, bowhunting trivia.

    I use to use these old peep sights. Found one in my archery stuff. They are like a kisser button that is goes around the string.
    For the life of me I can't remember the name of them. Is there anyone out there that can give me the name?

        I remember seeing them but I don't think they had a special name. I think Saunders made them

                PYBuck, you were right, they were made by Saunders under patent US4454857 filed in 1982.

                A bow string mounted peep sight has the form of a wheel with an elongated hollow hub tightly receiving the bow string and spokes connecting the hub to a rim. When the bow is in a braced condition with the bow string vertical the rim and spokes are horizontal and when the bow is drawn the sight is very close to the archer's eye and the rim is tilted revealing to the archer's eye sighting openings between the hub and rim irrespective of any rotation of the sight which may occur due to twisting of the bow string.


                Wow, you guys are smart.
