RE: Site without a Peep
Hey, How far are you from Wilkes Barre PA? Igraduated fromWilkes U. (One of the few)
I shoot great with my peep but I am looking for other options. I have astigmatism in my eyes and when I come to full draw it is tough to see out of the corner of my glasses.
Mabye I need bigger ones like Larry King

Ok, that's understandable. what type of trouble? I'm good friends with a guy who shoots indoor target and outdoor 3d with spectacles on, with a peep. He uses a Fletcher Tru peep with a 3/16 hole for anything outside, even hunting. Neither of us use tube peeps. What are you using, and what size hole? I'm just asking because personally I'd rather have a $5 peep instead of another $40 bracket or rear mounted site on my hunting bow. I'm just trying to help you out and save some cashStinky. I guess I don't understand how so many guys have peep problems. I've never had one in17 years of shooting a bow(all with a peep) and 40 some deer to my credit. Tell me your setup, maybe I can help.

RE: Site without a Peep
I'm a 47 y/o with bifocals and astigmatisms in both eyes. Plus, I close my left eye becasue I'mright handed and I'm left eye dominant. I can see well enough through mypeep to hit a deer at 30+ yards. I want to get rid of my peep because mine froze last year, maybe you need need new glasses. Tell your eye doctor your a hunter, mine helped me out and now he's got metrying bifocal contacts! I'll let you know how I shoot.

RE: Site without a Peep
2 buddies of mine swear by the no peep. I was gonna buy one earlier this year, but I has other guys talk me out of one. I still haven't made the leap yet. So, I got a 1/4"hole peep yesterday. I'll probably stick with this set up through the season since it's so close, I don't want to start over tuning a bow.
