no peep sight

Breachin · 05-09-2008, 05:20 PM

My buddy shoots with no peep sight on his compound and hes got the most wicked sick shot ever! I seen him throw a bottle in the air today and nailed it with his recurve. Then again he's been doing this since he was 11y/o. He don't use a peep sight on anything though. Not sure if recurves and longbows come with them but thats what he learned with and prefers hunting with the longbow.

Anyone else shoot without a peep sight I'm just curious?

Gene Wensel said shooting a recurve is like throwing rocks.

If you throw enough of them you get pretty good

Does your buddy use a sight at all on his compound?

I shoot both compound and recurve with no sights. I am by no streach of the imagination a great target archer but out in the field where distances have to be estimated I do pretty well against my friends who use sights.

I have considered trying that.
I guess as long as your anchor point is consistent you should still be accurate.

Not to mention that if you could do it accurately, you could get on target much, much faster. That might just be worth a try.

I've never used a peep but I do use a kisser button. I tried a peep sight once and didn't like it[:'(].

As long as your head stays in the same position also....

I tried to shoot w/out a peep......just couldn't do it. VERY inconsistent I was. I did, however, remove the kisser button and get along just fine.
