No-Peep, why did I take it off?!!

muzzyman88 · 08-04-2003, 06:33 PM

Well, I was in the mood to experiment tonight, so I once again, put the Timberline No-Peep back on my bow. After 15min or so of adjusting, it was pretty close, not perfect, but decent. I readjusted my sights to put me on at 20 yards and just shot with it at varying distances tonight. I just can not believe how much more comfortable I am and how much more consistant I am with it! Why I chose to use a peep last season is beyond me, but I am leaving it on. Like I said, it wasn' t perfectly on the money, but I just forced my anchor till it was and shot like that tonight and buggered up a bunch of vanes in the progress!! I' ll tinker with it till its perfect, but its staying on.

I know this has been beaten like a dead horse on here, but the No-Peep is one great little peice of equipment!!

I used just the no-peep last year.

This year I think I will use the no-peep and a peep - thats the way I have been shooting for months and I am just more accurate with the peep - but like the way the NP keeps your form in check

HEY RACK,
Don' t you think that kind of puts you back into trouble in low-light conditions with the peep on there?

How in the world could you ever take your peep off. You' ll be giving up vision blocking, twisting, blurryness, creeping, peeking, etc. All those things that you' ve come to love with a peep.

Yes and no.

Looking back over all the deer I have shot....maybe 4 or 5 where shot in " peep trouble light" . And to be honest 2 of those bucks where lost. Over the last 5 years all my bucks have been taken with plenty of light - with more than a few taken at high noon.

I used the no-peep last year and was not super happy with both my shots last year. One didn' t go 5 feet - the other a wee bit more.

I am just more accurate with the peep - plain and simple

I am at a point now where if I cant see out of my drilled out .25" peep I will let him pass. Lots of funny things happen the last or first few minutes of light - peep or no-peep.

I have no problem giving up those few minutes - if it means for me, more accurate and confident shots for the 12 hours or so thats inbetween.

Different strokes for different folks. I don' t use a peep with my No-Peep. I wanted to get used to using it and I have not been disappointed. In my 40 years of bowhunting, I have taken animals in all different lighting conditions. I agree with Rack on form though.The slightest error in form will yield an off bubble No-Peep.

One thing I have noticed though is that the more focused I am on my form and shot process, the greater my accuracy

Rack-attack....I' ve been using a no-peep with a peep for a couple years and whenever my peep doesn' t perform perfectly my no-peep has pulled me through.

NoPeep with a peep? What' s the point? Kind of like wearing a belt with suspenders.

A peep tells you nothing about what you are doing with your bow hand and torque.
The no-peep is great at making you consistantly hold the bow the exact same way - easy on the range but tougher when odd angles come into play in a tree. Thats why I kept the no-peep on.

The peep is the best way for precise repeatable head/eye placement.

Thats why I kept the peep on.

IMO it is a good combination
