Default Peep sight help needed.

My new 32" inch bow obviosly sets the peep a farther distance and a steeper angle from my eye. I'm having a hard time adjusting to it.

What kind of peeps do you guys use to overcome tis problem with todays shorter bows? Or are my eyes just old?

You may have to slightly change your draw length and or slightly change your anchor point.

Good Luck!

if you are comfortable with your draw length then you may want to try a no peep or a hind sight. both of these save you from having to use a peep

I am used to a 38 to 40 inch ATA when I switched to a 34 inch ATA I ran into the same problem, I bought a shurz a peep has a larger aperture then my other peep seems to work great.

It seemed my peep sight was out of position. I moved it down on the string 1/2 inch and am having my better shooting.

Thanks for the responses.
