RE: Going Without A Peep Sight!!!! Leads to a Robinhood.
Yaaay, for Buck Magnet!

Buck, you stick to your guns. You do not need the peep sight. To say you cannot shoot consistently accurate without a peep is like saying you cannot shoot accurately without a release, without a fall-away rest, without mechanical broadheads, without plastic vanes, without a 300 fps bow, etc.
Peeps are for targets and Styrofoam quarry; peeps are not best suited for hunting. The very first device that was used to maintain a consistent anchor point, was a kisser button. Many non-peep shooters still use just a kisser button and string to nose or cheek.
Hunting without a peep-sight will open new doors for you. No more peep rotation, no sliding out of position, no rubber hoses to align your peep, no more unnecessary forces playing upon the strands of your string. No more dreading the shaded areas in the timber. No more blurred peep from the sun. What do you do if the peep misaligns or pops out while in the field?
Now you can see earlier and see later. No more passing on legal time still available because you cannot see through the peep. No more moisture, ice, dust, in the peep hole, blocking your vision. No weird and unreliable gadgets that are meant to assist in conditioning form, not sighting.
Until you get it down pat, you will have some days when you are not sure you made the right decision. Stick with it. You have to recondition yourself -and you will. The payoff is great. You only need a peep if you are not ready and willing to learn how to shoot consistently accurate without one …like every one used to do…shoot accurately without a peep.
I triangulate my anchor and sighting by the use of two medium sized kissers. 1 button touches the right side of my nostril, the other button touches the right side of my lip.
It is now so ingrained, that I do not consciously feel for the buttons to be in place. I now instantly feel if they are not touching where they are supposed to, and I can correct in a flash. I can hold the anchor position no matter what body position I am in when I need to take a shot. In fact, the 2-button method forces my head to stay properly aligned. The times I tried a peep sight, I found that certain body positions so common to hunting actually forced my eye away from the peep, or past the peep.
Pratice, practice, practice; not adjust, adjust, fix, fix!
