What are your opinions on hind sights vs. peep sight. It seems like the hind sight would be much easier and more accurate but it also seems like you lose some of your field of vision and I need some help on choosing one. Whice one do you hunt with/perfer?

I started to not put a peep or a kisser button on my new bow when I got it. I was talked into a peep, only, by my bow shop owner (still delete the kisser button). I went with a larger peep.....and it was like a total new beginning. My old peep was VERY small. My new peep (G5) perfectly aligns with the outer ring of my sight......and I feel like I've been liberated! It's just MUCH easier to get on target than it used to be.

I may try without a peep in the future.....but, honestly, I wouldn't know why, now.

the hind site is a much shorter sight plane between the two aiming points, front and back site. There is NO WAY it can be anywhere nearly as accurate as a regular peep. To think of the hindsite. Would you take your front site on a rifle and move it back to 5 or 6 inches from the rear. Exactly, it's a gimmick. Get a bigger peep, ream out the old one or don't use one at all would be better than a hindsite.

Hindsight is always 20/20!

Well that's just perfect.(You're on a roll lately buddy)

David:

That is a WONDERFUL analogy (rifle sight). Thanks!

Rob/PA used the same one in helping me determine the sight I now utilize. It has an extension bar that gets it "out there" a little closer to the target (furthering the distance between the peep and the sight pin).

That's useful stuff right there, guys.....by two knowledgeable men. I appreciate it.

I guess to make it equal to the hindsite though you'd move the rear sight of your rifle up to the front.[&:]

The problem with most peeps though, is people ream them out to big and when you have a 1/4 inch hole inches from your face, you're really not that accurate at all. I don't know the math at all for that, but i'm sure someone could tell you :P

Shoot whatever you feel comfortable shooting. And if you can hit a good group, why change.
