Ever have this problem?

I had my bow set at 28" draw at the factory, and it now fits me like a glove, better than I could have ever imagined. Couple this with the 65% let off module I had them install, and my aiming is now rock solid, and release feels great.

I'm using a no-peep this season, and it seems that when I draw back in perfect form, my dominant (right) eye is looking at the bowstring, with the pin right behind it. I have to move my head a bit to see the pin, and I do so, just enough to see it beside my string. Is this the normal procedure and an indication that my bow now fits me well?

Yes, I have had this happen also when I first set up the no-peep. I look to the right of the string, but it seems like many more archers look to the left. Right look better to me. You may have to adjust your peep slightly to do this. But when it is on, it will show you differences in your anchor down to 1/32 of an inch. Now that it is set and I have been using it for almost a year, I rarely even look at the no-peep.

Thanks for the reply, but I meant to imply that in using the no-peep, I am not using a string peep, and now my sight pin is right behind my string at full, comfortable draw. I need to move my head slightly to be able to view it.

Is this normal?

I'm thinking of tying a piece of bright colored string on the bowstring at the junction of my line of sight and the sight pin. This should allow me to ditch the no-peep (less stuff on the bow to go wrong and vibrate), give me a repeatable anchor point and still indicate grip torque to a degree.

Am I nuts?

Yup, that's what I meant also. I also use the no-peep.
