When i went i had problems seeing through my peep and finding the carp. I didnt have my setup early so i was shooting mostly in deeper water, where they could dive down out of sight, but is there a special peep or something that is easier to see though?
Almost everybody I know shoots instictive for bowfishing.
I don't think you really need sights.
The shots are close, you usually have to shoot pretty fast, you have to adjust your point of aim for the refraction, and the fish can be tough enough to see in muddy water without trying to look through a peep.
Try instinctive, it's really not that bad.
If you do want to use a peep though, just go with as big of an aperture as you can find.
I think they go as big as 1/4 inch, you may be able to drill it out even bigger.

I agree with Bulz. Try shooting instinctive when bowfishing.
I use a compound, but with no sights. Bowfishing is usually a sport of super quick shots at unknown distances and unknown depths. Trying to use a sight just slows things down. (in fact using a compound slows things down)
You'll be suprised how fast you can become good at instinctive shooting. Really.
(and then... if you miss.. you'll have a good excuse too)
I think the same, trying to find your peep is just going to slow you down and time is one thing you can't spare bowfishing. Luckily carp are usually plentiful so you can get plenty of practice but try shooting instinctive.
A Peep sight is extremely tough for bowfishing. Of the guys I bowfish with most use sights (single pin) and a kisser button. Here in Minnesota we can only day shoot and take alot of longer and deeper shots. I really like the pin.
i bowhunt with a fred bear recurve bow no sights and a homemade reel and i have plenty of sucess so try natural like everyone else said the pace is to fast to really aim!!!!
Peep sight for bowfishing?
