Default RE: Need some WISDOM

As far as peep sights go, I'd agree with Twirpy. Invest 5 bucks in a Shurz-a-Peep 2X2 Mag. Unless money is no object, I'd definitely say to try that before spending $35 on a No-Peep.

A third option is the one I keep trying to talk people into. Get rid of the sights altogether and learn to shoot barebow. Right now you're winding upnot able touse your sights correctlyand shooting barebow anyway. But, not having practiced shooting without sights, you don't stand much of a chance of hitting where you want.

With a barebow compound,hitting asaucer sized target at 25 yards is no big trick with a little consistent practice. Get a copy of Byron Ferguson's book, "Become the Arrow." He's a longbow shooter, but that doesn't matter. The aiming technique he teaches works even better with a compound. While longbow/recurve shooters have to go through the aiming process quickly due to holding the full draw weight of the bow, a compound's letoff really lets youtake your time and lazer in your concentration on the target.

All it takes is the courage to throw away the crutches and develop your natural abilities.
