RE: Low light visibilty stinks!

The following statements made by Arthur P and Straightarrow confirm that they are knowledgeable shooters.

Being an avid bowhunter, it is exhilarating to be in the company of real shooters. Kudos to Art and Straight for their expertise.

I would not be surprised to discover that many shooters who use a string peep do not realize that you must center the pin in the peep to be accurate, and consistently accurate. I am sure there are many shooters that believe you simply look through the hole, find your pin, and put the pin on the zone.

The knowledgeable shooters using a peep know about the pin centering aspect, and how difficult and distracting it can be to watch the game and try to focus on centering the pin at the same time; especially in low light.

Some peep users will actually set their pin bracket and pins so that the pin is resting at center on the base of the peephole, and at the right/left side of the peephole. I assume that procedure would roughly provide you a sighting system that would be like sight alignment on a firearm.

I sometimes wonder if the problems some shooters are having, shooting and maintaining a good group, occurs because they are not properly using (centering the pin) their peep.
