Peep sight moving poll ~ Just for fun

[GR8atta2d]

Ok folks for your viewing pleasure. I wonder if we can keep answers out of replies but still keep this baby near the top. Just for fun and education



If I physically move my peep sight up and I was dead center bull prior to moving it my next arrow after moving it will be.


and yes I know the answer. [:-]

[GMMAT]

All I know is....there was a vote that disappeared from the poll. How'd that happen???

[Rob/PA Bowyer]

It didn't disappear, it got corrected.

[GR8atta2d]

[MN/Kyle]

all i know is right after I hit the button, I wanted to change my answer[&:]

[GR8atta2d]

LOL MN/Kyle I was told what would happen before I had it adjusted and in my mind's eye it didn't make sense..but he was right

Looks like I'm not alone.

[Rick James]

I gotta say I'm surprised at the results of the poll.

[GR8atta2d]

OK Rick or Rob care to explain? It's gone long enough to suit me..[&:]

Moving the peep up will mandate raising the front up to align within the center causing your impact point to also raise.[:-]

Think of yourself at full draw. Now imagine moving your release hand down, while the front of your sight stays on the target. This is what happens when you raise your peep sight. If you bring the back end of the arrow down, and leave the front of it in the same place, it increases the upward angle it's pointing making that arrow impact higher on the target.

I have a VERY difficult time getting 90 meters for fita out of any rig because I have an unusually low peep height of only 5". Most people are 5.5" to 6". Before I get to 90 meters, the fletchings on my arrow contact the scope housing on my sight unless I compromise with a looser anchor point.
