for those that moved from peep to peepless

[txdukklr]

how'd you do it and what the principle behind it.

[super_dave]

I use a kisser button about 1 1/2 " above my string loop. I put it at the corner of my mouth each draw and then touch my nose to the string. That's my anchor. It's very solid and easy to repeat and locate when I need it fast.

A peep is good if your used to it, but when I tried it was chaos on the target when I hit it?!? It's all about anchor point.

[super_dave]

Don't let anyone tell you that it's less accurate. 30 yards. Dead squirrel.

txdukklr, I believe you have been shooting long enough that you could get away without a peep. When not using a peep it's all about anchoring your bow the same each time. I feel it's very important to have two anchor points. Mine are my release hand index finger lodged at the bottom back of my ear and the string on the tip of my nose. I did loose a touch of accuracy at twenty yards, going from a normal 1" group to about 1.5" group. What I gain without the peep though really outweighs what I lost. Heck, just pull your peep off and try it out and see, if you don't like it, just put it back in. It will make a lot of difference when shooting out of blinds in low light.

so I anchor behind my ear like you do, tip of the nose to the string and a kisser so just yank it off?

doesn't the string block the pin

This is what my brother used to do before he stop shooting alot and he had great success. It's about anchoring at the same points everytime you shoot an arrow.

No, it doesn't block it. Your eye won't be directly behind the string like it is with a peep. It will be offset to the left if you're right handed and vice versa. You will however have to move your sights left to make up the difference in where your eye is. But it is so worth not having a peep

[Husker]

I got rid of my peep and went with a anchorsite. It guarantees the exact same anchor point. I will never go back to a peep. My accuracy is even better, likely due to it pointing out the slightest torque.

[super_dave]

One thing about a peep is that once YOU set it up for YOU, it is very hard to find someone with facial features close enough to yours that can shoot it. Don't let some one else shoot your arrows from your bow! They will break em!

I rarely allow anyone to shoot my bow ...... might as well ask to grab my wife.

I'm gonna try in the offseason.

anchorsite????

[DaveC]

How did I do it? A better story would be why... ground blind, south Texas BIG ten slipped away as I could see him with my eye but not through my peep.

After that hunt I've went with a no-peep and have been using one for ~7 years now.

Once set up to match your anchor- A no-peep will show you if you are not anchored exactly as you should be.
It will train you to anchor the same with each shot to where in time you don't look at it with every shot.
It will also show you if you aren't anchored right when shooting from an elevation- cures the ole not bent at the waist issue.

Another benefit is it will let you know if something isn't right with your bow - serving or loop moved/ string or cable has stretched. You'll know it when you know your anchored right and the circles don't add up = time to look things over and see what changed.

I like them I much I want to put one on my wife's bow before next season, she gets sloppy with her anchor points sometimes

[Richard M.]

I went peepless, when I changed sights and went to a halographic. It's the only thing I found that I can shoot both eyes open being right handed and left eye dominant. I can't see the dot with my left eye. It's good for low light and night hunting as well. Your anchor point is also not as critical. Basically where ever the dot is, is where the arrow is going. I really like it. It does have it's disadvantages though. It's electronic which can fail, has a battery that can go dead, and zero could get off. That said I always have a back up battery and check it before every hunt.

I have since taken off the peep seen here.

so you do have to move your pins to see around the string?...i have taken my peep out and tried but i couldnt see my pin clearly due to the string....but if i was suppose to move sights then that was the problem....wont you have to move your rest too?

[PSD Ryan]

You shouldn't have to move your rest. Possibly up/down on a single cam due to very slightly changed nock travel, but I don't think the peep would make enough of a difference.
