Default RE: new to bow hunting question

People who can't see their pins in low light because of the peep? They are not using the correct peep to begin with. With peeps, the smaller diameter the hole is, the more precise the aim point but the less light gets through to the eye. The less light getting thru, the less you can see. Small hole peeps are great for target shooting under bright sunlight, but they will blind you in low light. For hunting, you want a peep with a large diameter hole, like 3/16" to 1/4".

Of course, using any peep will cut down on the amount of light getting to your eye, so shooting a hunting bow without a peep is great if you can learn how to do it. Shooting without any sights at all is even better... Again, if you can learn how to do it.
