Maybe I lied...
...about putting my peep back on or not. Tonight I started practicing with my scent loc head cover on and my consistancy went out the window. My anchor just isn't so sure with the head gear on. I'll have to try it for a few more days but I'm thinking I may have to reinstall the peep. I would hate to wound an animal or not make as clean a kill as possible because my anchor and therefor my aim was incocsistant. Or maybe a No Peep? Hmmm....

RE: Maybe I lied...
Yes, I never could get comfortable with it. Seems like I was always shifting my bow around trying to get it right. I took the peep off in the first place looking for more speed that I really didn't need . You know what they say about, "If it ain't broke don't fix it"? Well I don't always listen so good. This is all off season experimenting trying to learn some cause and effect stuff about my bow. I'll soon get settled and get ready for the season.BTW the bow was shooting 259 fps before I started making changes.

You've just made a major change to your anchor and shooting style. What did you think? It'll come around, but you have to find a new way to be consistent. I just went through that, and after about a week, you'll have it.

I use the peep but I've eliminated the kisser button this year. Seemed hard to put it in the right place or feel it through my scent lok hood. I really haven't missed it at all.

TX: I just installed the tru-peep and like it a whole lot better than the tubed one. I knew your stand on peeps but you're not going to lose a great deal of speed.
Don't sacrifice accuracy for speed.

RE: Maybe I lied...
OK, I went back in the yard this afternoon to give it another go. I had better results today. I just started to really dig my knuckle in under my ear so I could feel it through the mask. I don't have a problem with feeling my string on my nose, just my knuckle. I will keep shooting with my mask on and try to get consistant with my anchor, I think if I keep pushing my knuckle hard into my ear so I am sure of where it is I will do OK. I'll let ya'll know. If after a couple of weeks I'm not seeing significant improvment I will rethink my options. Thank you for your input, particularly you Mobo. I'm glad to see you are still around.
