Default RE: new to bowhunting - peep questions....

I've used a peep for over 32 years of bowhunting and target or 3D shooting. I still think it's the best route to follow, especially for a beginner. The difference between target and hunting is the diameter of the hole in the peep. There are a couple out that wor pretty well in that they have a BIG hole. One is the Fletcher Magnum Hunter peep and the metal one made by G5. Both can be had with a 1/4" hole which is plenty in most circumstances for hunting. Specialty Archery makes their Superball peep which has screw-in apertures from about 1/32" up to 3/16 with no screw-in adaptor. The only one I haven't used is the G5, but that's in the works.

My 3D bow had the Specialty with a 1/8" adaptor and my hunting bow carries the Fletcher.

These, along with good fiber optic sights and if I can't see the pin then it's too late to be hunting. Simple as that.

So personally I'd recommend a peep for now. After you learn to shoot and see what other people are using you'll have a better idea of what suits you. For now, keep it simple and keep it inexpensive. No need to, at least for now,plunk down money for something like a No-Peep that you may not like anyway.
