Default Four questions from someone getting back into bows

I just had my bow restrung and I am shooting again for the first time in about 8 years. I used to just aim off my knuckle, no front sight or peep sight. The only thing I ever shot was fish.

Now I am planning on deer hunting in October and I want to get good. I had a peep sight and a front sight put on. The problem is that when the peep sight gets in front of my eye its like looking through a wholahoop. I feel like there is too much give in all directions to get really accurate. Is there any special way to use one of these things?

Second question, do I REALLY REALLY need a release to get good enough to shoot deer? I seem to remember being fairly accurate just using my fingers.

Third question, where is the best deal on carbon arrows? Cabelas has some for 54 per dozen.

Fourth question, if I use a 100 grain field tip to practice and a 100 grain broad head to hunt, do I need to worry about being off much?
