RE: How many of you use Peep Sights
I've used very fine flytying thread to make a small BB-sizednubbin on my string where a peep would sit. I line up my sight pin with the lower corner, and the technique works well inlow-light conditions. I started doing this with my first compound, a Bear Polar LTD,and use a variation of it today on my Mathews.

i used a peep sight but also have the problem with low light conditions and with a peep it sometimes takes too long to line my eye through it, the openins for good shots are sometimes there for only seconds, time is crucial, i saw the new product that huntingnet presented in their new top items, looks awesome, makes it so u dont use a peep site,

Trained myself away fro using any peep this year. I like the improved vision! Isn't it true that all a peep does is force you to line up? If you can anchor consistently, then why use a peep? The advantage would be more noticeable at long range but I haven't missed it.

I've used a no peep for the last two years and like it. But this season I found myself not even looking at.I would just bring the kisser to the corner of my mouth and the tip of my nose would touch the string and I shot just as well if not better doing that than I did while lining up the no peep.

That is exactly how I shoot my bow!Have shot this way for over 20 years
with no problems.It is nice notto lookthru a peep.I am left eye dominate
so this caused me a problem to begin with.But I have been shooting with just a kisser button and lining the string up on my nose for a long time!!

RE: How many of you use Peep Sights
i have one, used a smaller one with the tubing when i was using my mantis pendulum due to the smaller site ring, now that i am back to my tru-glow i am using one that has1/4in. opening. As for more site picture,,shot with both eyes open and u can see alot more of what is goin on,i dont very much any more cuase i kinda get tunnle vision when shootin with both eyes open cuase i look only at the target. but if i dont consentrat on the target that hard i can see better than with one i closed, and i also shoot better with both open.
also i am left eye dominate but shot right handed, though about switchin if i bought a new bow this year, but i kinda would have to relearn how to shoot,
