RE: Is a peep site really needed?
Neither myself or any of my serious hunting buddies use a peep sight for hunting. If you hunt a lot, sooner or later, a peep is going to cause some problems in low light. At the very least, it obscures a portion of the animal which will cause some uncertainty in some situations.
If you anchor in the same spot each time, you do not need one. I use a no-peep to help me with my anchor. There are other advantages to not using a peep, like increased arrow speed by eliminating the weight on the string. A peep is another gadget that can fail, or move unexpectantly. I like making things as simple as I can. Let me assure you, that you can shoot very accurately without a peep if you practice enough.
