Stealthforce,

Your statement is too broad. They don't work for everyone in every hunting situation. I have set up 3 different peeps, including a C-peep. They were all adjusted properly and had not moved. They all prevented me from shooting a deer in low light that I could have gotten without the peep. Two of these deer were within 5 yards and I couldn't tell if the pin was centered in the peep, much less exactly where on the deer it was. Admittedly, my eyesight is not the best, but I know there are many hunters with eyesight much worse than mine. I personally know at least a dozen hunters who ripped the peep off their bow, not because it had turned or moved, but because they missed a deer they couldn't see through it. We're not all delusional. It simply doesn't work for eveyone in every situation.

I hunt off and on with a group of about a dozen hard-core hunters that hunt virtually every day of bow season. All of these guys have more than 20 bows kills, a few with more than 50 and one with over 80. Not one of these guys uses a peep, although everyone has tried one at one point. Even if every one of these guys used a peep, I still wouldn't, but the fact that none of them like them, would be proof enough for me that they have let people down who have had them set up properly. The fact that I'm one of them who missed opportunities because of one, completely solidifies my opinion of them.

I'm not going to say they won't work for some in every situation, even though it's hard for me to believe. I will trust that it can. On the other hand, you should trust that it doesn't work in every situation for some who have them set up properly.
