I have two friends that hunt without a peep. They still use sights. They say that they can get on target faster. I believe them, I just can't do it or am afraid to. It's the target shooter in me. If you go without it, you'll have to make sure you've got your anchor point(s) down pat, because your losing one of them. The one guy has 24 P&Ys, never entered one of them.
