Default What a difference a Peep makes!

I just wanted to share this with you all. I have been very frustrated with my shooting over the last few weeks. My arrows have been flying fairly inconsistently. And if you"™re like me you hate to hit the woods without 100% confidence in your shooting and your equipment. So after makes a number of changes and alterations to my bow I bought a 19$ Peep and had it put on. I immediately started shooting great. I put 7 arrows into an area the size of a tennis ball from 20 yards. The problem with my old peep was that it was big and thick and it blocked out too much of my view. I couldn"™t even tell if the peep was lined up with my Trophy Ridge Mantis sight. With the new peep it is small and thin so when I view through it, it "śdisappears"ť to where I can see a thin blue circle that is translucent. Then I can line up my peep with my sight perfectly. I have my confidence back and I"™m shooting great. Just thought I"™d share with you all the fact that some of the cheapest fixes on your bow can have a huge effect.

The new peep is the G5® Meta Peep Sight

This is the old Peep sight that was causing me trouble - "Sure Vision Peep"

No peep at all works great for me.

Glad you got it worked out.

If you REALLY wanna see your pin....get a String Splitter. I just put one on my Commander a week or so ago and I love it!!!

The G5 Meta Peep that was originally mentioned in the start of the thread is what I use and I highly recommend it... but make sure to test it before you leave the shop... because the peep may turn as your bow string stretches.
