I didn' t say I had a problem shooting uphill or downhill with a rear sight.I said there is a problem when NOT using a rear sight while shooting uphill and downhill.I was also stating that was without a kisser but for me a kisser is not needed and will decrease my accuracy.I do bend at the waist but with sight paralax being the way it is,there can be some slight problems when trying to sight without a rear sight on a downhill shot.A lot of practice is envolved for this and I am not going to worry about achieving that kind of shooting accuracy because that isn' t the equipment I use.When I speak of accuracy,I am talking extreme accuracy and not 6" circles at 30 yards.I am speaking of pinpoint accuracy.



As far as me moving when I draw my bow back.ABSOLUTELY NOT.I move the string to my face,not face to string.I set my hand in it' s anchor position and run the string across my face and the end of my nose.The peep will be in alignment with my eye,even if I close my eye when drawing and anchoring.Now when leaning way out or making extremely odd angle shots,a peep might be of some use as an anchor but those are exceptions to the rule.That does come into play when hunting and I understand that.But to say the peep is an anchoring device,that imo is a false statement.



3-d is a very good way to practice and is very realistic,with the exception that the target doesn' t move.The time to take a shot is different but you can practice taking quick shots at a 3-d tournament if you wish.No it doesn' t simulate every aspect of hunting but is the best and closest way to practice for hunting without actually hunting.Sure beats the heck out of shooting in the back yard at known distances and familiar targets.We can' t very well go stump shooting with the equipment we use today.All our arrows would be buried up in logs.[&:]


You seem to think that if you have to change a sight that you wasn' t practicing for hunting.That,s crazy.I once shot a 3-d tournament with a scope on my bow.I won that class.I went to the club house and 15 minutes later had the bow sighted in with pins and different arrows.(previous years setup so the pin gap was already established)I went out and shot the toughman course and won that.I proceeded to hunt with the same setup and killed deer with it.




Sure wish I had practiced all year with my hunting setup because I couldn' t have been succesfull otherwise.
