wow, lots of great suggestions here from using kisser buttons with peeps to no peeps at all!

JOE PA,

so, when you're shooting, it sounds like you're not lining your eye up with the bow string and your pins as you would when using a peep. there is a slight offset from your bow string to your pins, is that correct? it sort of creates a triangle, with your eye, pin, and bowstring being the vertices of the triangle. am i understanding you correctly?

anyway, i've still got some questions...i've been doing a lot of shooting in the yard trying to find a good anchoring point (which i think i have found.) should the string nestle in the bend of where my first joint is on my string hand or should i be shooting with the string more toward my fingertips, or heck, does it even matter? i just want to make sure i am learning correctly because once a habit is formed they can be hard to break if it needs to be broken. any help is appreciated...
