Alpine No Peep
 

Question - I am nearsighted and use eyeglasses for long-distance vision. I currently use a peep sight on my bow and I sometimes have problems focusing and/or lining up through the peep sight. I've enlarged the size of the hole, but it still gives me problems. I've seen a few postings on the Alpine No Peep and I wonder if this may be a good solution for me. Anybody out there have any first hand experience with the No Peep? Is it accurate? Is it quick enough to use in live hunting situations? Is it a good alternative for someone who wears eyeglasses? Any info you can provide would be much appreciated.

the answer to all your questions about the no peep is YES

I wear glasses and had the same problem as you with the peep sight
once I put the no peep on all my problem where gone and so was the peep sight I will never go back to a peep again.

The no peep takes a little time to set up.

At first you will be going back and forth between the no peep and your pins but after a little while you wont even look at the no peep cause what is does teach you is a consistant anchor point it will also let you know if you are torqueing the bow even the least amout of torque

If you want I will send pics of my set up

I agree with Ausie-guy. The TIMBERLINE No-peep teaches and consistently allows the same anchor point time and again. Think of it this way - as soon as you were off that anchor (say, shooting up/down at a severe angle and didn't bend at the waist but instead lowered your arm) your anchor point would change right? Now imagine something mounted solidly on your riser pointing back at your eye. The moment your anchor changed, you would see it. Even the slightest change in arm geometry with relation to your trunk is enough to have an effect on the eye/sight relationship. But because the No-peep ensures that your eye is in the same spot relative to the sights EVERY time, you can be sure of a solid anchor. As far as the glasses, you are no longer trying to see through a small hole that can reduce light and images entering your eye.

The biggest stumbling block is that people that try them and don't like them, usually don't give them a serious adjustment period to get used to them. Take a lifelong finger shooter, and get him to convert to a release and you may get the same result - they may not like it.

Thanks for your feedback. I believe I'll give the Timberline No-Peep a try.

I would also advise you to get a buddy to help you set it up. You are gonna have to do a lot of fine tuning to get it just right, and it will help to have someone adjust for you while you are at full draw. I ended up taking mine off and am now living happily without a peep sight.
