My mind tells me that the crosshairs would obscure with my pins in good light, due to close proximity to my eye, and be invisible in low light, negating their benefit.
Try one, and give us a review.

Anybody?

I don't like it. Their selling point is that for consistent shots, the pin needs to be centered in the peep. In truth, the pin only needs to be in the same spot in the peep, not always center. This is why round pin guards are better. Your eye naturally lines up the peep and the pin guard (easier than trying to keep the pin between the crosshairs AND on target). I think it's less effective than the round peep, round pin guard combo, harder to use, and costs a bit more. Like most new ideas for peep sights, I'll keep my original meta

They of course argue against that logic because people use "larger apertures for hunting, and smaller for target shooting" and the larger hunting peep decreases accuracy. Using a larger peep for hunting and smaller for target is wrong. You should set your sight forward or back until the pins are easiest to focus on, then use the smallest peep that still keeps the edges of the pin guard in view. I'd use the exact same peep size shooting bullseyes or hunting. I shoot with both eyes open just like rifle hunting, and that gives me all the peripheral vision I need.

I use peep on housing for hunting also, but there is alot of target shooters that argue that a small peep and centered pins are more accurate for target shooting.
When centering pins, anchor floats, but when centering housing, anchor stays in the same spot.
