You are 100% correct BY23856. The most immediate benefit in going peepless is seeing better. This has a ton of side benefits that are often overlooked. Having the whole sight picture and surroundings in front of you, pin to impact, enhances your ability to shoot confidently AND while in low light situations. Peeps have a myriad of issues. Sure, some of the woes that peeps bring can be overcome. Still, there is no one style of peep that will allow you to see as well as shooting without one.

It seems everyone that buys a bow from the local shop leaves with a peep installed. Most sales to new archers get one without asking. Now, I'm not saying that's bad and I'm not knocking anyone. If you love your peep and put the arrow in the 10, super!

The pin to impact part is what new archers need to understand. This is often is effected by the peep. How many times have you heard a new archer ask, "where did that one go?" when shooting at the local range. Hit the brakes, we need to help that archer understand shooting form. The absence of a peep lets us understand by seeing what is going on around us when we release the shot. We can diagnose tuning and form issues, while we're seeing better. Watching the arrow the ENTIRE way to the target is what we all should be doing. I have found that going without a peep makes anticipating the shot much less likely. This is a hughe plus for novice and advanced archers alike. We see better, therefor we relax during the aiming process as a result AND we effect correct execution of the shot that leads to more arrows in the 10 ring. What better to build confidence than knowing 100% where the arrow is going at the release. Call your shots... take the nock.

Looking through the confines of the peep, for many, CAN result in the dreaded TP syndrome. Go ahead, confine your view, even squint in low light, and then add the pressure of live game. This issue, however slight, is likely to erode our shooting form and our effectiveness. The last thing we need to be doing is rushing the shot.

These are a few things I have found by shooting peepless and do not necessarily reflect the views of others. I only post suggestions to help and will do so as long as my actual testing has returned beneficial results.

Going peepless... it's really worth a second look.
