TFOX:

Speaking in terms that apply to bowhunting;, not target shooting, if that is what you believe and that is how you do or wish to do, go for it. However, I am quite confident when I say: if you want to be correct, or use the correct sighting methods, I suggest you do some research regarding sight pictures in accordance with the sighting system being used, and for what purpose a peep is PRIMARILY and GENERALLY used by many, or most, bowhunters.

I used a peep-sight for bowhunting for a brief period, but haven' t for a long time. However, when I did, I considered the peep (chiefly) as device to enable a consistent anchor and eye level. When I sighted on a deer, I quickly referenced the pin in the peep but immediately focused on the POA, with the pin out of focus. In other words; once on the peep (bowhunting), my pin became my rear sight and, theoretically, the spot (in sharp focus) on the deer became my front sight.

If a peep is mandatory as a rear sight, chiefly used to align the pin, how is it that many, many, very accurate shooters do not use a peep sight; some using a kisser as an anchor reference, and some using nothing but the placement of their release hand?

As for a sight pin, or a front sight blade being " superimposed" on the " spot," I suppose you could say that about any sighting pin, bead, or blade. Whether the sighting system demands that you bring the " spot" into sharp focus, or the front sight in sharp focus, I suppose you could say the target and the sight appears to be superimposed. However, I prefer to place and align my sight on target, or even reference my sight on target.

You were not listening; or in this case you did not thoroughly read and/or comprehend. Go back, find what I said …,and explained, regarding the two different sighting devices. I know that when using a common bow sight, you bring the (only) the target/spot (POA) into sharp focus; that is what I said. I also know that the rear sight is then out of focus (fuzzy); that is what I said.

RE:

I am not quite sure what you are trying to say with this statement, so I will reply as though I do.

No, when using " these products," the one(s) that have a rear and front sight, you do not want the rear sight in " perfect" focus. However, you still have to align the front sight with the rear sight or you just spent money for a very funny looking pin sight.

As for your statement; If the back sight will help align the pin on the target ,who cares." I have no idea of what point you are trying to make.
