Do you always max out the possible length of your sight? Why or why not and please explain thought process of your method. Thanks

It really depends on what size peep I am using.

If it is a small peep then I have the sight bar out as far as it needs to be so I can center the sight ring in the peep.

If the peep has a large hole then the sight is slid in towards the riser till the sight ring centers in the peep.

I max out because I think I shoot better, it's mental thing, LOL

I have it in my head I am more accurate with it extened all the way out.

[GR8atta2d]

I agree with both..

Aussie that was my thinking as well..but even fully extended I may be just short of centering. I shoot a pretty small peep.

and Germ I agree the greater the distance of the 2 "reference" points has to make you more accurate?!!?

I max out the length of mine, reasoning is because I want the pins as far away from as possible so it makes them as small as possible. When picking out a spot, I want to be able to pick out the smallest spot possible. Aim small, miss small.

I have mine all the way out as well. You get a finer aiming point, clearer pins, and the sight housing lines up better w/ my peep. It has most definetly improved my shooting.

Out just far enough to center the pin guard in my peep. You can see here that there is room to go farther out. I shoot best with it here.

[popeandyoungchaser]

All the way out. I like the finer aiming points once you get 6 pins in a sight.

I get mine out far enough to center the housing in the peep. This gives me the shot to shot consistency I am looking for.
