Default Peep Sight

i was shooting indoor archery tonight and my tubing tore on my peep sight and made the peed drop down causing my bow to be off luckily we were in the last round
i was wanting to change the peep sight out to a tubeless type peep so that i do not have the same occurance again and was wondering what size you guys would recomend to get i will use it for hunting but want a little bit smaller peep to help me focus for indoors also

I HATE peep sights....But I've found the ones that divide the string into thirds to be better than most.....Don't have to worry about twist.

Default RE: Peep Sight

This is a tough one. I say this because it sounds like you shoot some sort of indoor competition, but want to use the same peep for hunting. For this I would check into theSpecialty ArcherySuperPeep. I believe you can change out the apeture size without removing the peep this way you can shoot a small one for competition and the larger one for hunting, they make both a tube style and tubeless peep like you want.I believe there are other brands out there that you can also change out the apetures as well.

Be warned though, without the tube to align the peep you need to make sure you have a quality string and cable set that won't creep on you after it has settled in. Even that is no guarantee that your peep will be in the proper position EVERY time you pull it back. Sometimes extreme weather and humidity changes can screw with even the best of strings.

This is why I always use the tube style peep. I use a large opening and change my tube twice a yearwhether it needs it or not. I also never tie my peep tubeto the cable, I usea little clip post that looks much like the post on the peep that you slide the tube on. It takes only a minute or two to install it anddoesn't cost much.I have never had one fail on me since doing this. Make sure the length is correct not too shot just long enough to rotate toe peep into position.Some say the tube style peeps have drawbacks, one they slow the bow down and two they are loud. Well the few fps I lose doesn't bother me and I realy have not noticed that much more noise and it certainly has not effected the deer I have hunted over the years. I will trade those little "drawbacks" for the piece of mind knowing my peep will be in position everytime I draw no matter what string I have on my bow or what the weather is like outside.

Remember, all I do is hunt, no competition for me, just practice and hunt. If I were in your shoes and were dead against the tube, I would invest in a quality string/cable setand go with a interchangable apeture tubeless peep.

Good Luck

i like the 1/4 inch peep sight for hunting because it goes right around the edge of my sight

I had a tube peep on my bow and removed it for a No-Peep . Took that off and installed a Sures-a-peep that splits the string in thirds . That works for me . The No-Peep is fine but not for my old eyes !

Well i shot with as small as peep as i can with my fred bear and with my pse i shot a big one. But if i was you i would just get your old peep out and look at all the peep sights and try to find one around the same size.
