If I can shoot a target at night with a light on the target,I can shoot a deer at dawn.The light is on the target and isn't any more than a flashlight.<hr height=1 noshade id=quote></BLOCKQUOTE id=quote></font id=quote><font face='Verdana, Arial, Helvetica' size=2 id=quote>

TFox,

I detect a difference between the two. If my deer had a light shinning on them, I'm sure I could use a peep in complete darkness, however they are never lit up while hunting.

It must be that some people have better eyes than others and can use the peep under darker conditions. Myself, I wouldn't use one even if I could see okay through them in low light. I don't like the fact that the peep-body blocks out much of the animal when you're aiming. It makes it difficult for me to center on the kill zone quickly. For me, a peep is a disadvantage in some hunting situations.

I certainly would not try to talk anyone out of using a peep, if they're happy with it, but when someone is not completely happy with one or considering alternatives, I'd like them to know that there are other options that many feel are better for hunting situations. There are advantages when not using a peep and everyone should weigh those against any disadvantages they perceive.
