Default Bow sight/ peep sight question...

How do you guys align you peep sight with your bow/pin sights?

Do you center one pin in the middle of the peep sight like this:





Or do you focus on the whole pin guard like this:





Ihave always centered one pin...

I also use the bottom method. I have found that it's the better of the two for hunting. Having the entire sight in my view, I can easily move to the next pin or gap shoot or even judge distance by the spacing between the pins (works pretty good once you have established a"control size" for a given distance) Anyway, the point is I can do all of these things and still have an open and larger view of my intended target.

Also I think you would need a considerably smaller openingin your peep in order to get any consistency out of your shots. With the lower method you can encircle the sight ring with your peep ring and you have yet another way of "checking" your anchor.

I center the pin in the center of the sight guard making sure that my peep circle is aligned with my sight circle.

Yeah, center the sight in the peep. Make pin adjustments from there. Keeps everything the same, shot after shot.
