Default RE: Bending at the waist? Contorted?

If your peep is "off"....and you're not using it as an anchoring reference....how would you know it was "off" (once set)?
LOL....NO ONE will answer this...

I'm fully aware that the peep should be set when all anchors are set. Given. But I'll defer to the question above if you say you're not using it as "an" anchor reference.

If the bow was shot from a hooter shooter,you would have to tilt the whole thing,which is exactly what we are supposed to be doing when we bend at the waist.
Agreed! I asked back on page 1, though....that as long as you're not torquing the string.....how can the arrow NOT go where the pin is if the pin housing and the peep are aligned? I also asked in another thread if we couldn't simply squat i.l.o. bending at the waist.....which would maintain the sight line (pin housing centered in peep). I think we can.

Your peep has depth,which means it is a 3 dimensional object.When your anchors change and you try to look through it higher or lower from an angle,the peep will essentially not be round anymore and cause you to center off the front of the peep on the top and the back of the peep on the bottom so it is impossible to maintaing the same halo when you drop your arm instead of bending at the waist.
In this instance you're either:

1. NOT going to have the correct halo

or

2. You're gonna have to torque the string to get it (or get very close), right?
