Has anyone used the Yikes sight? If so, did you like it? Did it tighten groups? It sounds like a better idea than centering a pin in a peep sight circle. I have not seen one except on Hunting.net & can't find anyone here that knows anything about it. Thanks

I didn't try the Yikes sight but I did try the no-peep hind sight. It is in the 2002 fall Cabelas Archery catalog. I though I was going to lose my mind. It was very tricky to get sighted in. I just bought a new bow and i figured I would be sighted in within an hour. After 3 hours I gave up completely. I went to my archery shop the next day and had them put on a large sight peep and had my bow sighted in less then 20 minutes. I also added a kisser buttun (which I never used before)and this also helped tremendously. My archery shop won't even carry them because the owner pointed out how much torquing the shooter does lining up the front and rear sights. Unlike a peep that comes right to your eye every time. I don't want to talk you out of one but if the Yikes is any thing like the one I tried be prepared to spend a lot of time setting up.
Good luck.

I bought and hunted with the Yikes last season. Very solid concept, well built, works extremely well. A little pricey at $50 for what it is, but highly recommended.
It's on my brother's bow right now, and I'm playing around with a no-peep. He was having a grip torque issue, which the Yikes points out easily, so I took pitty on him
If you can get past the $50, I highly recommend this site. Can be used in single or multiple pin situations.
If you do buy one, Don't change your anchor to accomodate the sight. There are ways it can be mounted to fit your style of shooting. Call the company, they were happy to help me.
