          From what I was told, the clearifier will help focus on the target, and less on the peep. but not sure if they were just blowing smoke.

              Peep by itself, and no lens?

                    I have a Hogg-It Hunter on both my Z7 and my Monster, both with a 4X lens in them and I have a #2 clarifier in my peep. I love them when I'm hunting, it just helps my old eyes

                          it says that to use a clarifier you need a lens but the verifier sharpens your pins dont really know which to get? also i have a spot hog hoggit how do you know if it will take a lens

                            I have a 2x in a cameron hanes spot hogg 7 deadly pins sight on one of my bows, its nice. The morning sun is sometimes tuff , it will cover the entire deer's sweet spot @20 yds so sometimes i have to look with my other eye to be sure im on the right piece of fur,It collects weeds,grasses,and dust like a champ,im constantly cleaning it ,it's fogged up on me before, rain will be an issue for you,i found that covering it with one of my wifes black ankle socks helps out tremendously . I've killed alot of deer with it, All things you should be aware of i guess,

                              A verifier is used to put a reading glass lens in your peep. A clarifier is used in conjunction with a scope lens. I had a 4x lens in my Viper sight, and I liked it just fine for targets, but I did not like it at all in hunting. When hunting I often open my "other eye" to get the whole picture of the deer. When I did this with the 4x lens it really messed me up. Under duress, my brain wasn't ready for that size difference in the right eye and the left eye and it messed me up. I struggled to be able to tell where to put my pins on the deer. I wasn't able to see all I needed to see.

                              I put it in the drawer and took the clarifier lens out of my peep as well. I can go back to it if I ever need to or want to try it again. But, I don't shoot 3D and I did not like it at all for hunting.

                                Kevin makes a very good point. When I first put the 4X lens in my HHA, it messed with my depth perception and all. I hadn't use a peep in 15 years, but I put a peep back in my string and made myself get used to shooting with it. I keep both eyes open until I find "that spot", then close my off eye and aim thru the peep for the shot. It does take some getting used to, but for me it was well worth learning how to make it work... I think it put years back on my tired old eyes for bow hunting. If you want it to work, just be patient and figure out your own technique to make it a natural way to shoot...

                                ...oh, and my peep does not have a verifier lens in it, it just helps me focus on the right sight picture looking thru the sight.
