Default shooting without a peep

I have used a tube peep the last couple yrs, I also use a kisser button and
string on the nose. If I take the peep out wont the pins be hiding behind the string? Do you move the pins left of the string or something? I shoot right
handed.

Default RE: shooting without a peep

I've been shooting basically without a peep for over 31 years. Once in a while I'll try one again but always find that it doesn't help my accuracy MUCH! A peep helps me maybe a little at longer ranges and might make an inch or so difference in groups past 50 yards but I still don't want one on my hunting bow. I don't want to sacrifice any ability to see my pin or target when it's time to do the deed I shot quite a bit today at 40 50 and 60 yards though my 60 yard groups could have been better if the wind would have been calmer. Still, my 50 yard groups were around the 3 to 4 inch size with 5 arrows and this was with a 33 inch ATA bow and a 29 inch draw. I look just past the left side of the string(shooting right handed) just enough to see the end of the pin only, none of the shank on the sight pins. I shoot with an eliminator button as a kisser and serve it in place when I get it adjusted for the right feel

It's your choice if the string is lined up over the pins, but you can see through the blur, or if the string is just lined up to one side, in which case I guess you move the sight pins to compensate.

i like shooting with one cause i am more consistant with my anchor point. and makes me focous on my target and not the size of the rack or other distractions
