"Are there any aiming strategies that any of you have when using a peep? How about general technique for it? Thanks"
The peep or aperture sight is the simplest of all iron sights to use. Use the biggest opening the sight has, such as unscrewing the insert and aim through the big hole. You merely LOOK THROUGH THE HOLE, and place the tip of the front sight on the spot where you want the bullet to land. Then squeeze the trigger. You actually IGNORE the rear sight, as your eye will naturally center on the point of strongest light, (the center of the aperture!!).
There really is no "strategy" involved-it's very simple. The only decision you have to make is when zeroing it in, do you want set the sights so the bulletstrikes (dead-on hold) at the very tip of the front sight, or in the center of the bullseye when the tip of the front sight is tangent to the bottom edge of the bull?

You may have noticed that on the cetner hold picture, I have left out the image of the rear aperture. This is because you should NOT be conscious of it while aiming! Ignore the peep, place the front post tip where you want to hit, and squeeze!
The fastest of all possible iron sights.........
