Default RE: Bending at the waist? Contorted?

[quoteWhat's the difference? If your peep is "off"....and you're not using it as an anchoring reference....how would you know it was "off" (once set)?
][/quote]

can tell you this, T.....

If you put 100 hunters in front of you and had them draw their bows.....and you moved everyone's peep sight 1" up (beforehand).......

.........THAT is what they'd notice (once all their other anchor references had been established). If people think their peep sight isn't a point of reference for anchoring.....then what do you trust? Do you just look through the peep......other anchors be damned....and shoot? OR....do you get all of your other anchors set.....and then realize.....no KNOW your peep's been compromised?
That's why a peep is not an anchor reference.The peep is checked by proper anchor. Proper anchor is not checked by the peep; therefore it cannot be an anchor reference. When you drop your bow arm, lower your head, or anything else that changes that"perfect angle form"you practice standing on the ground, your anchor point will change to compensate and "fit" the peep to the sight. So now you have a peep centered in your sight, but changed your anchor to achieve it. How can the peep be a anchor reference if it can cause this kind of error? Again, it's not a rear rifle sight. Bending at the waist from an elevated position keeps you from reinventing your form in a tree.
