The best thing I ever put on my bow!! takes a bit to set up and get used to, but well worth it.

A thing to ponder.. would you shoot a rifle with out a rear sight? if you demand pinpoint accurcy with a rifle, why would you not with you arrows. I under stand some shooters can shoot better without a peep but everything they do with a bow is perfect ( form,release,follow-thru...ect..) I hear about tons of people missing animals all the time, and most think it was something other than themself that caused the miss. I think it is bull if you place a pin from a bow site or crosshairs of a scope and you pull the trigger it should hit what u are aim-in at. Just my 2 cents..
jevan- What are you getting at? Have you ever used this product? Do you even know how it works?
HH48-
I think the NP is a great product. I've owned them for a loooong time and wouldn't have a hunting bow without one.
I have not seen their new mounting bracket that has some micro-adjust ability, so I can't comment on it. I've used their older style mount plate, which works fine, but can be somewhat limiting in vertical and horizontal placement of the NP.
Setup can be a little tedious, but once you have it dialed in- they are great. Read the directions, they are decent. But it REALLY helps if you have someone to assist you in setting up the NP. As you draw back, have the other person do the tweaking of the NP per your instructions. It may help if you concentrate on getting one axis at a time "in the ballpark".
You should be able to close your eyes, draw your bow to your anchor point, then open your eyes and the NP should be lined up. If it's not- do some more position tweaking. The big thing to remember is to adjust the NP to YOUR form, and do NOT adjust YOUR form to the NP position! That's where taking time in the setup is important. Once you think you have the NP all dialed in- put the bow away for a few hours, or overnight. Now that you've been doing a lot of drawing back and holding, your muscles may be a bit fatigued and your 'normal' form may have deteriorated a bit. Come back the next day with fresh muscles and good form, close your eyes, draw back to anchor and open your eyes. Is the NP still lined up? You may have to do just a little more tweaking to get things perfect.
It is a great product for bowhunting. It will allow you to shoot very acceptable groups for hunting, yet keep your sight picture unobstructed and as bright as it can be. It will never cause you to not be able to shoot. It could fall off your bow and you'd still be able to shoot that deer, because all it does, is train and check your grip and anchor for consistancy. Once you do it correctly a few hundred times (in practice), it becomes second nature. When that big buck comes by, do don't even have to use it.
I will always have one on my hunting bow unless someone comes out with a better product.
hotyhunter, BF and straightarrow gave you great advice! Have someone help you with the setup, and make sure that you adjust it to YOUR normal anchor point.
The No-peep allows full levels of light to enter your eye and (with me anyway,) allows a full sight picture with both eyes so you will notice those little things (like twigs/small branches) that could deflect your arrow.
The most important thing this device does is tell you immediatly when your form has broken down (ie: torquing your bow) and allows you to correct it. I haven't seen a standard peep sight that will show these kind of form flaws...
Good luck - try it and you'll never look back (only forward)<img src=icon_smile_wink.gif border=0 align=middle>
I forgot to mention where I think the NP really shines. It is VERY valuable when shooting from a treestand. You always hear of many people hitting high when shooting from an elevated position. Much of the time it comes from not bending properly at the waist, and instead the bow arm is lowered. The NP can help with that and keep yourself trained when shooting down. The NP is invaluable (to me) when shooting from odd positions, or all contorted around a tree.
If you have some form inconsistencies they can be very useful. I dropped my peep this year after having used one for the last few years and my groups improved almost immediately. I planned on going to the no-peep if I couldn't get things sorted out but I have not had any consistency issues at all so I did not buy one. The no-peep will help to learn to anchor more consistenly.

If you're even "considering" getting one of these things then go for it! Trust me. I rode the fence for quite awhile and finally got one. Put it on and had a bit of trouble at first but after it's dialed in, you won't be sorry. Took my first deer with it in Oct and I'll stick with it for a long time to come.
thanks for all the advice i will get one as soon as i can, i used to just shoot with no type of aid and did fine but got a peep and it ruined me, now i think im goin back to the old style and i liked this product thanks again
