Im 6'1 and I just measured it, its 6 1/4 exactly. Remember, we had the peep untied sliding it. I had it about 3 inchs from the loop and the string was much better but still covered about 10% of the sight. After that was gave up and I was going to go to no peep sights but he came up with this idea of the side peep. I was doing it in my lunch hour which turned out to be 2 hours and I just took it.

Once I got home I couldnt get used to the side peep due to its size. But the answer is yes, if I lower the peep and lower my sight the the lowest two brackets, the cable is barley in the sight at 20 yards but I want it with no cable in my sight.
